Would love to see satisfaction by smart speaker. We started with an Echo but now have several Google Homes. The Echo require rigid language or basically commands you have to memorize to use. Versus the Google Home for most things you can say it…

The bigger question is what is up with Apple? No mic mute? No security and anyone can get you last text message? Sonos and Google Home Max have better sound. Then on top the HomePod has worse margins. It is like opposite day with Apple…

It is baffling why Apple does not just fix Siri. Or an idea would be for them to just use the Google Assistant on the Homepod and it would sell like crazy.

These are terrible ads, IMO. Apple needs to show the HomePod is going to be smart. Do an ad like the Google Home or the Amazon Echo. This just screams that it is not smart, IMO.

I personally carry an iPhone and a Pixel 2 XL. The Pixel 2 was patched for Spectre and Meltdown before my iPhone. Plus since Google found the flaws think they are just going to be able to do a better job keeping the phone safe. But it is not on…

Just nuts Apple missed the holiday with the HomePod. Then when you look at all the software issues this week that were just crazy things. Like able to just type "root" and enter a couple of times and able to log in with privileges. That is not…

Really it comes down to what is important to you. If your priority is getting the best smartphone camera you can get you get the Pixel. If you prefer iOS and the best camera not as important to you get the iPhone. Really not that complicated. …

The Google WiFi supports 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz for connecting and will sense which is optimal and use accordingly. There are nice iPad and iPhone apps you can see who is connecting and what channel and I oftentimes see a mixture of 2.4 mhz and 5.8 m…

Does NOT have to be either but could be both. So you could have face id and also have a fingerprint sensor on the rear. But in the end it is fun that we have something secret from Apple that is interesting. I have been missing those days. La…
