Generally, when I see abusive, obstructive, or disruptive protesting of nearly any type, I like to support/do the opposite of their desire. There.

What was missing was at the end - all the crushed elements should have been represented on the final shot of the iPad screen, upbeat and animated... thought this the second I saw the ad. I would have made the ad much more about evolution, not scorch…

Anytime I see sample images from this company I am completely underwhelmed. I appreciate what they are attempting here, and I would love something like this, but they need substantially better optics and sensor resolution to get me to sniff more cl…

While I have a fine woven case, and it’s not terrible at all (and easily washable to bring back a much more uniform color), my next case will be leather. I much preferred the feel and natural patina of a leather case, and if the posted “evaluation” …

I thought Love, From was essential a design firm, which is how Ives deservedly earned his reknown. But not the HW/SW technical underbelly. So Altman and Ive seek a billion dollars for ... an idea? I would think big money would be considered only aft…

Who knows what is true or whatever was true.... but one thing facing all car manufacturers is the (US) national charging network never really materialized - its is shit. Charging is still way too slow; and the range is still signifcantly subpar on m…

The spatial computing tree will bear more than one fruit for Apple. Another version may drop the Pro designation and eliminate EyeSight to reduce weight and cost for example. I would be shocked that Apple does did not develop multiple variations a…

Here's another insincere idiot wanting free access to someone else's decades long and ongoing investments. How many third-party companies does Spotify give free access their user bases and services to leverage for their own external benefit? How m…

He's superficially correct - but he seems to be missing (purposely or not) the relatively meaningless cost to be an early-marquee app for their longer term benefit, and shorter term marketing attention. Also probably not interested in "helping" a s…
