Hasn't ethics been passé, at least among our leadership class, since the 1980s? And even if we still believe in ethics, the powers that be don't.

Apple's like Amazon when it comes to this; even if they do their own thing, it's not to the exclusion of others. Besides Kindle hardware, there's Kindle apps for other devices. You don't need a Fire phone to access Amazon-- there's apps. Likewise, y…

With age, things to appear more and more quickly. So this reportage theme -- speculative pieces about sales of any Apple device get proven wrong at the next quarterly earnings report. As it will be this time. And some empirical crap: Based only on…

My questions are: If one eliminates Facebook addiction -- and other social networks to a much lesser degree -- how big's the problem? For that matter, how big the problem compared to, say, opioid addiction, alcoholism, etc.? Exactly what's the basis…

This is the kind of story the media loves to repeatedly report, false or not. When one's old enough to have seen this play out ad nauseam, it becomes a boy cries wolf syndrome. I know I'm sick of it.

FWIW: Got a $20 stand at BJ's. No AC adapter, just a USB cord. Stand is at a 45 degree angle, perfect for Face ID, which is something I need at certain times. I respect a website's need to route sales to Amazon, but, oy, the prices! And the focus on…

Sad to say, this piece gave me a laugh. Sure, it’s almost impossible to update an Android OS. What these experts are saying now will be close to reality in a couple of years when the version under discussion will be the most common version out in th…

Rhetorical question because Apple knows: Reduction due to punk iPhone X sales, or because Apple's just taking work away from Samsung? I know; can't expect too much facts in reportage. (I don't blame AI because they're reporting on someone else's st…

Perfect headline for the story which rightly (but unusual these days) included context and perspective.

Who better to make this warning than someone who made his fortune as a competition-crushing extortion, whose fake image is magnified in the corporate media? Too: In this case, he's wrong. He omits the fact that antitrust action for antitrust reason…

Seriously sad how CR feels compelled to focus on the clickbait. Was a time when they were bulletproof trustworthy.

What does Bill Gates know? His one great accomplishment was making Windows the industry standard when one was needed (now much less important). He did this, or, rather, allowed Steve Ballmer to force OEMs to pay a licensing fee whether or not Window…

Just like the best selling model this cycle's been the OLED model?

How unusual: The producer of a post incorrectly echoed by a legion of lazy so-called reporters, albeit ones whose beat is Apple bashing, issuing a correction for all the bad echoing of the original piece. In the old days, the reporters who screwed u…

It’s not like performance declining because a battery does what batteries do and degrade. That’s much, much worse, right?
-
Very cool! Batteries dying sooner, probably without warning, is a feature, not a bug. Awesome!

64 gig X is about $50 more than a 256 gig 8 Plus. I know; what do facts have to do with publicity stunts disguised as reports based on horses***?

Going on to my second week with the X and I agree (so far) that Face ID for unlocking and Apple Pay are my favorite features. I suppose at this point that second favorite is the camera, specially optical zoom and OIS. As for the screen, it's one of…

I'm getting bored of these stories of elaborate means for fooling Face ID or just mishandling the feature like those families with members who look alike. Someone wake me up when it fails under real world circumstances instead of this crap.

Truly, the world is full of amazing, incredible coincidence.The lack of accountability for bad acts probably explains some of these coincidences. Specially this one, given South Korea’s corruption.
