I tend to use the fingerprint sensor on the phone and the iPad instead of a passcode. But iOS forces the use of the passcode when rebooting the device or if I haven't logged in for 48 hours which happens frequently on the iPad. It would be nice if t…

Google has much more pressing issues. Like how they are going to prevent Samsung from destroying the rest of the Android OEM competition. With that, Samsung will be dictating the terms of including Google software on their devices. Apple's massive…

TLDR. Short version: Google is doomed. That's right. Nearly everyone agrees that there is room for two dominant mobile platforms. Samsung makes all of the critical components themselves and Apple produces many though not all of them also. A…

There are big problems in Google's advertising model. I suspect that things are likely to get much worse for the company. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-adwords-sponsoring-orkut-terror-jihad-groups/4094/#readfull

Google investors and apologists have argued that AI will solve a multitude of problems. AI is an oxymoron. Intelligence is not artificial. Machine learning is NOT intelligence. Computers don't understand humor and they don't understand sarcasm. I …

Yawn. While Google gets called on the carpet for sponsoring hate content using ad revenues from major corporations to do so. Right now, my distaste for Google is quite high. And anything that spins a positive light on them or their products like t…

Let me preface this by saying that I like Mel Gross. His posts are nearly always quite thoughtful. I just have to needle him a bit though. 3 nm isn't supposed to be possible. And here we have an article that TSMC is investing big time in building …

Chrome OS is a dog of a browser. Purging the program from my iPhone was the best thing I ever did. I paid for iCab and the browser makes Chrome look pathetic in comparison. I do like Safari and use it all the time along with Firefox. Google now tr…

I actually have been waiting for Alexa to come to iOS. iOS is still where the money is and if MSFT and AMZN keep Google's assistant off of Apple devices, it is still a big win in the grand scheme of things. I like the Bing app very much. If enter th…

Hopefully the battery technology makes it to the watch. Having full LTE access and a watch that lasts for 24 hours would be nice.

Samsung is so far ahead everyone else, it is going to take a major setback or a new technology development to displace them. While the others are getting started, Samsung is now working on raising efficiencies and lowering costs of production. Sam…

Home automation is very nice. I have installed an array of z-wave controlled outlets, switches, thermostats and even the blinds and garage door openers. The real issue is maintaining security. Hence I have a dedicated Mac Mini locked behind a robu…

I left Google search some time ago. The results they provide have seriously declined. It is all based on how best to monetize their search results. I have stopped using them. Bing is now the better engine. Ever since Apple used Bing for Siri resul…
