Hopefully, iPods won't drop out altogether. There's still a market for them, including: 1. Parents who don't want or can't afford the expense of an iPhone for their small child but still want them to have a music player. 2. People whose business s…

Quote: "new smarts to sports, weather, photos, and more..." Yet another demonstration that Apple thinks its typical user is an immature twit with nothing better to do than obsess over "sports, weather, photos." It'd be nice if Apple would expend s…

The practice, as others, have noted, quite common. When I worked for an art museum there was a bag check even though virtually nothing on display would fit inside a pack. In the end, most searches accomplish little. They are embarrassing and soon b…

I'd like to see another feature, a way to alert us when an incoming call is from a telemarketer, perhaps even with the option of one-tap blocking of all calls from that number. Since most of those jerks don't have someone on the line listening to t…

Hopefully, the transit features will also include maps of airport interiors and how to get about them.

No mention of GPS location sharing? I've long wanted my iPhone to me able to share my location with my iPad and MacBook. A simple Bluetooth protocol should be all it takes.

I'm glad to see Apple is including Markdown in Swift. It's be great if they'd build support for Markdown into the text features of iOS and OS X too. That and: 1. Allowing all text apps to benefit from many of the features of Pages, including styl…

Among veterinarians, this is called "putting down" a pet, except in this case the pet is a stray that never found owners. Newsstand never attracted many users, do unless Apple comes up with something magic, this new app is likely to bomb too. The p…

Apple certainly needs to do something to fix its cloud woes. Last week, for some reason the iOS app store had an over abundance of app updates. Their servers could not handle the load and iTunes isn't robust to handle the non-responses from them. As…

Diversity? The selection process for corporate ranks is so intense, I suspect there's not a gnat's eyelash in difference between the men and women. They're as alike as peas in a pod. Besides, I thought that claiming there are differences between me…

Always the jokester. Not joking. Not joking at all. Dead serious. In the aftermath of World War I, G. K. Chesterton blasted internationalists who, he said, "love every country but their own." He was being sarcastic. This world set feigned co…

Apple might want to make some of the fonts they've created available through Adobe's Typekit, so they're more widely known. Nice too to know that these jackets were "Made in the USA" rather than by children in some dreadful third-world sweatshop.

Ah yes, I really feel for these unfortunate Londoners. They are ready, willing and able to buy a $12,000 watch that will be obsolete in a year or two. Yet there is mean-spirited Apple, refusing to give them their heart's desire (for this week). Oh t…

This AT&T executive seems to have lack the candor to point out the obvious, that his company has to change its policies because T-Mobile changed theirs and the move has proved popular,

Why is Apple pouring huge sums into maps when there are a number of quite effective map apps and web pages available from others. I must have at least a dozen I could install on my iPhone. it strikes me as little more that an ego game by corporate e…

Comparing this item with traditional opthalmoscopes raises an issue. Most are shaped to keep the body of the instrument away from the face. This one isn't. I wonder if there'll be issues with the body of that iPhone contacting the face or unable to …

Music, TV, and maps to be improved? Those are all for playtime. It'd be great if Apple would offer some improvements for those who use Macs for work. The spell checker is awful and text services still aren't up to Microsoft Word circa the late 1980s…

Wait and see how well it works. I suspect it'll work well with low-current devices such as computer mice but not high-current devices such as flashlights.

When I was growing up, our Fifties-era home had something like this. Latching relays controlled the lights. From the kitchen and master bedroom, you could turn every light in the house on and off. Neat? Not really. My dad wired it into our home but…

I doubt I'll ever understand the point of these 'keep you from having to stand up and walk a few feet' gadgets. We sit around too much. Getting up and about is good for our health. It make no sense.
