Someone gave us an iPad 2 (pretty sure it's 2). With a hiccup or two we got it to run iOS9, and use it only for our 4-year old to have a few movies on and play a game or two (two 4S's: same job). Still has good battery life, and surprising standby…

The funny part to me is the (when-working) unfolded phone, showing a widescreen movie, with 2 giant black bars: top & bottom. "Hey look we can show a phone-shape movie in the middle of a big almost-square screen!" How about show some ?useful…

I'd be tempted by the magazines. At different times in my life I've had Car & Driver magazine, and/or Men's Health. Like them both, but eventually let them expire Those are usually $9 to $13/year initial sign up for one magazine. As a soon-t…

I recall in one of the bonus-videos on a Pixar-movie learning about John Lassetter's history. Paraphrased and could be mildly-inaccurate: He worked for Disney, did a computer video of some kind, and got fired. Started Pixar, (help from Steve), eve…

Luxury products over-deliver, which is part of the luxury. Imagine a Porsche-911, a $90,000 car I think; with cloth seats and 150hp engine. Both would suffice and it's still a well designed luxury car and a great experience, but it's just not righ…

Remember the "I am Rich" app that was $1000 and only contained a sparkly icon? I think that guy sold eight copies before either it was shutdown or pulled. This reminds me of that. I don't begrudge the highest levels of luxury in Rolls-Royce's and …

I'm curious why the dust is destroying the screen. If one disassembles and removes the dust, how is the internal LCD needing replacement? Is the dust getting somewhere it can't be removed? My 2009 27" iMac has the magnetic cover glass, then the ?…

Our two iPhone 7's are two years old, and battery life was reduced, but no sudden drop-outs; just quicker drain as the value gets lower (like a car's gas gauge). Was happy to go into the Apple store and pay $29 for each battery, and one Applecare-p…

Imagine the future shown in Star Trek: "Computer, resume that thing we were working on before....." The computer knows/manages EVERYthing about the minutae of your project/analysis/work/play, without even the concept of Files/Folders. Kirk / Spo…

Is it fair to ask if the pencil comes in black? (Like Bruce Wayne asking about the Tumbler). The bezels are black. A black pencil would fade into the background, esp when a monitor is above the ipad in some of the pix. That white really sticks o…

Tremendous value. I normally don't trust Refurb products, but with Apple & AppleCare I do. Does an iPhone 8 64GB for $500 in the Refurb area make a compelling value-argument against $750 XR, for an ordinary user? Maybe. https://www.apple.com/…

I think I know what people are saying about the passcode to charge. As we know when plugging into power it makes a comforting buzz to let you know charging is underway. In our car, there's a USB under the radio (that I don't like to use since it a…

Such beautiful images in the invites. Here's a challenge: Pick a Favorite. Cheers.

I might have just hurt those stats by accident. I've revived our first-ever iPhones, two 4Ss (64GB each) and am in the process of turning them into family iPod Touches for the kids (typical phone/apple apps away in a folder, kids-apps on the 1st…

I joined the Apple Ecosystem with OS X (10.3, Panther) on an iBook G4 (white plastic, $1799 [sold incidentally for nearly $500 in 2009]). I've never had a problem with X being pronounced "Ten". Never. First iPhone was 4S. With the new Xs, I ca…
