I think MS is as guilty as anyone for interfering in the industries they work within.

I've been an iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch guy for nearly two decades, but never made the transition with general computing. On a whim, I picked up a MacBook Pro with M2 last month on a great deal. Despite the learning curve and the need to …

Updated last night and so far I'm seeing a huge improvement in battery life. I was barely able to make it home from work on my Series 5, which is admittedly aging, but prior to the Watch 10 update, I was able to push through most of my day includin…

Saw this in theaters opening weekend. It was an interesting story to tell, but not something I would recommend for its general entertainment value. Especially given the overly long length, which I didn't think was necessary. I don't know the budg…

This just goes to show that the honeymoon period of early A-series chip development is over. Apple engineers have essentially perfected the fundamental designs of these chips such that there are no "easy" optimizations sitting out there as low-hang…

I find the Battery Health function to be dubious. I appreciate that it's there, but my personal experience with my iPhone 13 has been to watch the health indicator steadily decrease over two years until literally freezing at 80% for the better part…

Ah yes.... tipping. Guilting people into tipping even when they had no intent / when it was not warranted. Those tipping prompts at checkout kiosks or socially engineered to guilt customers into unnecessary costs. Let's bring that into all aspect…

Some type of foldable, collapsible, or holographic display is the eventual future. With the public's insatiable appetite for bigger screens, there is a hard limit for a fixed screen size on a phone or tablet. While a 20-inch smartphone "screen" may …

Wireless or bust. I would only sporadically use the CarPlay feature in my vehicle if it was wired. Especially for short trips or the morning commute, I wouldn’t want to be bothered with fumbling with my phone and USB cable before and after the d…

Agreed that it’s wasteful and a bit over the top, but I still think that there is useful information that can be gleaned from these sorts of “tests”. For me, knowing that the watch can take several beatings with a hammer, or that a Nintendo Switch c…

Not meaning to be overly negative, but it does seem that Apple’s A-chip development is finally reaching a level of equilibrium in terms of yearly power bumps. After a decade of spectacular year-to-year jumps in performance, we’re seeing much more mo…

I feel the same. The current Series 5 that I own is perfectly fine from a size standpoint. I can see pushing the display out to the edges like the Series 7, but I never find myself really wishing that I’m not getting enough information. Part of…

Some things appear to be cyclical in nature. We went from small cars to large cars, back to small again. And since the 1980s, they’ve only gotten larger, to the point now where a “car” isn’t enough for most people and the market is moving almost…

Seems like the same iterative process. The iPhone (and smartphones) started out reasonably small, and slowly crept up to become phablet sized. Just like many things in life, the general public has an insatiable demand for bigger. Larger homes, large…

Don’t get me wrong, I like taking better photos, but it’s funny how one of the iPhone’s biggest yearly upgrades now is a slightly better camera/lens. Given how little the “phone” aspect of these devices is used in context to the other features, I wo…
