I have nothing to compare it to and only check the bpm readings sporadically. What I'm still mystified by is the 'movement' calibration (outer ring) in the activity app. Even on days when I've done more than doubled my 'exercise' goal (60 minute…

As many as there are, it would seem basic that Apple maps would default to showing the address search match result that is closest to you, right? But it often doesn't and is still not so good at identifying some of the local landmarks that I'd lik…

Duck Duck Go works just fine on my desktop and phone. I like being able to support them without feeling like I'm taking a hit in the process.

I'd be willing to pay a modest subscription fee for AppleInsider news if it would change its bad habits. I check it just about every day to see what the daily hubbub is. On my desktop, the site occasionally appears to hang after loading all the ads,…

Effective trailer. Who is the character that Kate Winslet playing? I've been absolutely uninterested in Jobs bio-pics, and thought Walter Issacsons biography was flat. This is the Hollywood treatment but with Danny Boyle directing might just tempt…

As these weren't FRAND patents, I never understood why it was even in question. Why did this take so long? The horse has left the barn in a lot of ways, but on principal this strikes me as the correct decision.

With regards to lyrics I honestly don't know, but assuming this is considered a commercial use, then I imagine that there would be a cost to someone streaming them as part of a subscription service. Just guessing though. But when it comes to an…

A couple things that I would like to see unveiled as part of the new Apple TV are visual tie-ins with the new Apple Music service. For instance, a visual show related to the artist that you are listening to, esp if your playlist is comprised enti…

It seems like a no brainer comparison - the crown is easily operated by a single finger, while rotating a bezel requires two fingers opposing each other. Advantage, crown.

It seems that at the current price, that there is already little or no earnings growth built in. The stock is not priced for growing revenue, or declining revenue but flat line, stagnant sales numbers. But Apple has never had the benefit of a high P…

Strange, updating to 10.4 on a desktop yields none of this. Is for mobile only? that would be nonsensical.

Apple Watch isn't the story here, but its importance in initiatives like this going forward will be huge. Obviously the health/activity monitoring aspect of Apple Watch and other similar devices will give these type of programs the most important da…

Thanks for peeling back the curtain on this series of industry attacks; excellent article. By paying attention to the rise of Apple over the years and all the fabricated flaps along the way, it's been a masters course in the art of message manip…
