All dimmers flicker the signal. A traditional dimmer switch uses a triac to flicker the AC current. But incandescent bulbs don't flicker (much) because they produce light by heating a wire until it glows (incandesces). So if the current flickers,…

Wow. I've got one, but it will not be separated from my old PowerMac G4, which needs it to connect to my DVI displays. I also don't understand the article's comment that VGA monitors somehow require an expensive active adapter to connect to a Power…

No disagreement with the text of the article, but I'm surprised about the topmost photo shown. That watch looks very much like an Apple watch, but the packaging doesn't seem to have any Apple branding, calling itself "smart fitness gear". IMO, if y…

If anybody really cares, I'm sure they can subscribe via the web site and avoid the mobile app altogether. And if not, why not?

Wow. Apple's random marketing schwag is bringing in big bucks. I wonder how much anyone will pay for my used "Shop Different" shirt from the opening day of the first Apple Store (Tysons Corner, Virginia). I've got some pristine marketing schwag…

I'm not sure what you'd actually see, since the units were all crushed up. Lots of broken plastic, glass and circuit boards all mixed with dirt, but probably nothing remotely salvageable. Unlike the famous Atari video game burial in Arizona, where …

They do, but it's not that loud. Pretty hard to hear from inside of a packed suitcase.

Regarding "native support for 8K displays", I wouldn't call this an 8K display since it's an ultra-wide. An 8K 16:9 display would be 7680x4320 (about 33M pixels). This is 7680x2160 - half the pixels (16.5M). Its requirements fall halfway between …
