This article covers lots of cool features, and in that sense is worthwhile. But... the underlying claim, as stated in the title, is risible. The handwritten texts and iPad-generated text look very different. Nobody doing a serious comparison would b…

Unfortunately, as currently implemented, Math Notes is just a toy. It might be useful at some points for grade school and high school math, but not always. Pretty useless at a college level and later. But I have some hope that it will grow a lot - t…

I'll add that calling people racists when they are attempting to provide some minimal redress for centuries of wrongdoing are following a time-honored playbook. By labeling others with descriptions that apply to themselves, they (often successfully)…

AppleInsider said:Also keep in mind that in the US at least, jailbreaking a computing device is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. That makes it a Federal crime. You know a lot of stuff. Why do you insist on writing about th…

I've bitched about terrible articles here before (just yesterday in fact) so it's only fair to praise one that's exceptionally good. I can't critique the tech content - I'm not a graphic artist - but it is well written. But what made me comment was …

You would have to be nuts to use this, now or ever, except maybe on an air-gapped network (no internet connectivity). Like all the others, this is surely running Linux. (Or possibly a BSD?) And like all the others, it's going to have security vulner…

AppleInsider said: Apple TV+ has now been with us for almost half a decade, and it appears to have been a success financially[...] I challenge you to justify this bold claim.

Oops. I wrote "Writing about evolution is *hard*, even when you really do understand it." And sure enough I left out something that matters. "Variation necessarily leads to selection" - not always. You can have variation in alleles that has no effec…
