Wait... FineWoven again? Also, when I clicked to play the video embedded in the article page, it said I need to sign in to prove I'm not a bot. I then viewed it on YouTube and it was fine. What I find most amusing is that a watch is all about som…

I'm rather surprised no one has mentioned the obvious, but since I've lived in Japan for the last 30 years, perhaps my perspective will assist in understanding that particular Tokyo protest for what it is. If you look closely at the main photo in t…

Well, well, well... This kind of writing certainly is getting rather "political" for AppleInsider. Even so, I do see AppleInsider allowing people to actually comment under more hot button articles now, which is a good thing. One thing that's impo…

I consider articles like this amusing, mainly because I am in the camp of FRUGAL PEOPLE (yes, we are rare) who actually use an iPhone for 6 six or so. My last iPhone was an iPhone 7, and I paid Apple once to change the battery. I purchased the iPh…

While I do appreciate this and other AppleInsider articles, I am rather shock and surprised there is no mention whatsoever in the article about Apple having taken steps to prevent yellowing of its clear cases, which is perhaps the single biggest con…

I really dislike deceptive advertising, especially when it plays on silly political correctness like "vegan leather." Call it what it is: "fake leather" or "pvc imitation leather." Eliminate the trickery. It's the same with pricing like $999.99. …

Marvin said: Apple is pretty influential these days... Well, not nearly as influential as the killing off of the floppy drive was back in the day, let me tell you. As I said previously, I judge that influence by the peripherals I see common…

Marvin said: Keeping support for it on computers is what keeps manufacturers making the products with USB-A. You and I and everybody else in this thread are mainly talking about Apple here, not the PC world. And even when we talk about PCs…

If there is physical no space for USB-A, I think a move to all USB-C is fine. But if there is space for at least one USB-A port, it makes no sense to not offer that. Despite what the vocal "USB-C ONLY" crowd preaches, USB-A is still ubiquitous (unl…

What's most amusing is the fact that I've often heard people use "Hey, Einstein!" in a derogatory fashion to insult a person by calling them brilliant when they obviously are not. And now we have a so-named person who fits that definition perfectly…

ChatGPT4o, is the most brain dead stupid thing to come along in quite a while. Sure, it does a few things surprisingly well, but it makes enormous mistakes of epic proportions every single time I use it. And when I attempt to correct it, it foolish…

People are pretty funny. Glad I am not going with the flow. I just recently ordered a Panasonic UB820 region-free 4K Blu-ray player from 220 Electronics. 4K streaming can't touch the quality of a 4K Blu-ray, and when you've got lots of DVD and Blu…

Just as I thought, I arrive here in the comments and see a lot of mindlessness taking place. "Oh, it's Google. Google isn't Apple. Google is bad. Go DOJ!" Then we see these same folks comment under a different article about the DOJ and Apple tr…
