I have absolutely no problems with most of Apple's decisions (that's why I have ordered a nearly complete - only the 1 TB SSD, everything else top of the line - 15" MBP within minutes of store availability after the keynote. And I have no second th…

That has been puzzling me for quite some time. The most obvious useful function not available in the iTS: Get alerts for new releases from artists you have purchased stuff from, new episodes/seasons of TV shows previously bought... All the things on…

I find this a strange comment, and I really do not believe that line of reasoning. My virtualization machine (a Dell XPS 15 with 32 GB of RAM and UHD display and the same CPU as the entry-level Touch Bar model) runs 6-7 hours when virtualizing a com…

As I simply have to use MS Office (neither Pages/Numbers/Keynote nor any of the OpenOffice forks handles even 5% of the documents I am getting properly – yes, it is because of proprietary junk, but it does not help), I am very happy about that. Esp…

I am glad they are offering this adapter since I have numerous TB and TB2 peripherals. But somehow this whole TB3 story just screams for a dock / breakout-box that covers many/all things instead of single adapters for each and every purpose... I nee…

Could not resist. 15" model arriving on 11/22. Will finally replace my still gorgeous 2012 Retina. The combination of Touch Bar, huge Trackpad and non-wobbly keys is irresistible. Most expensive Apple-year in a long time... Only minor downside is th…

The even bigger problem now (for them and their customers) is that crews can't really tell the devices apart. Multiple reports from people who had their non-Note Galaxys or non-7 Notes taken away. The official(?) captain's announcement on Lufthansa …

A professional and responsible company recalls a dangerous product, Samsung has really managed to let others make that decision for them after weeks of agony. I hope every consumer on the planet has these scumbags on the shitlist now. #aWallHuggerYe…

No problems with call quality here at all. I have a minor issue with the connection not automatically returning to LTE mode after being in a spot with only 3G coverage, It simply remains on 3G. Setting it to airplane mode and back fixes it for now,…

Picked up the (just) black 7 Plus 256 GB yesterday (128 GB would have been enough, but weren't available) and widely agree with this review so far. New leather cases are much better than the old models, cameras are superb, stereo sound is great for …

The common conception that Apple is behind on that (or on laptop upgrades in general) is less than half true, really. I do have one of the Dell XPS 15 laptops with USB-C/TB3 (mainly got it to give my MS System Center / MCSE lectures, since Apple di…

I went through pretty much all constellations since buying my iPad Pro 12.9" on day one... Apple's Smart Keyboard is OK for typing, but the lack of a backlight and the lack of different viewing angles make it useless (and thanks to Ive's obsession …

cmaus said: Lol still no German keyboard? How is anyone seriously supposed to use that? If this ought to be a very bad joke, it's not funny anymore. Well, FWIW, if you order the 12.9" Smart Keyboard in the German store, you can select a …

There is no "beef"here. The, aptly named, Tidal is under water and Apple does not give a shit, as they should. Music streaming is an attention-share business for brain-dead shareholders. You are losing money on every customer, and investors reward…

I went wireless (for mobile use) when I got my Watch. Having a wireless remote on the wrist and the cans on a leash seemed silly. I normally use the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless, but some Jaybird Bluebuds when jogging with the dogs. Both sound g…

The college I am lecturing for two days a week gave me a Surface 4 Pro "to see if I like it". I do not want to go into details (too painful), but here is a pretty thorough summary Steve Martin did for me...

Once they have Iovine and Ecclestone on the payroll, they just need to revive Dr. Strangelove... Then they could call their first own TV series The Goon Show.
