"Those numbers are presumably expected to increase, as the publication also reports an estimate that TSMC must sell at least 300 million processors to return a profit." Wow. I wonder how many iPhones Apple needs to sell to make a profit? 7?

Samsung jankiness and Android for $1K is not a very enticing proposition. My last trip into the Samsung/Android world was the Galaxy Tab S4. A beautiful screen tied to an awful operating system and slow processor. Sold it after a few months.

I am so excited I could burst! /s

At the risk of sounding ungrateful, this should have been available day 1 of iOS 13/iPad OS's release. It solves such a huge and unnecessary limitation I can't believe it took them so long.

I bought the previous version for $99. I was very pleased with myself, as I'd have a tablet to take traveling without having to worry about losing it. Traveling with my expensive iPad Pro made me very nervous. Turns out is was just a waste of $99. T…

Here's what you need to know about article headlines that start with "Here's what you need to know". You very rarely "need to know" any of it.

Moore's law is not dead, look, we have a 7% year over year improvement in chip efficiency! Not sure I am following the reasoning here.

Got mine yesterday, because it looks so cool. Not sure if I'll use it though. 3% off Apple products at the Apple Store ... or wait about 3 months and get 20% off at B&H Photo. It's just not very compelling beyond its coolness.

To this day I am furious Apple discontinued Aperture. I have never trusted them since. If Windows wasn't so awful, it would have been enough to make me leave them. I had 70,000 images with painstaking adjustments made in that program. When I moved t…

I got the S4 on sale as I wanted an OLED screen for movie watching while traveling. Thought I could maybe use Lightroom and some other apps too. I don't. Lightroom is absurdly slow on it, as is everything else compared to my iPad. That 855 chip bett…

I think the advice to simply not buy a Mac with 128GB is overstating it a bit. In our household we happen to own both machines mentioned here. I have the Mini with 256GB and my wife has one of the new Airs with 128GB. This is the same amount of stor…

Sad to see Nintendo using this despicable pricing model. Hard pass from me.

Back to my Mac was never reliable for me. Gave up on it years ago. Jump Desktop has been the best alternative I have found cost/reliability wise. I don't use it often enough to be paying monthly for a service.

Assembling this thing will likely teach the kids nothing. The "how computers work" program will probably be less effective that any number of YouTube vids on the topic. Overall, it's a silly gimmicky idea and a waste of money. Sorry if I sound bitte…

I will continue my tradition of buying the most expensive "pro" iPad and never using it for work or multitasking. That all still looks a cumbersome mess to me. Though I am excited about being able to import photos directly into Lightroom. A downloa…

It is interesting they went with an A10 rather than an A11. Seems like maybe they don't like the A11. The budget iPad should really have got one this year as well. The only downside I can see to this products existence is for developers. It has adde…
