I actually like FB a lot. The essential idea of connecting people and all the thousands of special interest groups reminiscent of usenet are great. The tracking, the manipulation and selling of user data sucks big time. The former trumps the second …

I am completely in favour of paying for content. In fact, if FB decided to stop collecting and selling data and instead decided to charge users1 USD per year, how much would they rake in. Plenty, I'm sure.

I like everything about this except I use my phone in my car and on my MC daily. I'd be forever removing the phone fro the sleeve to access maps and other notifications.

I don't want to be tracked, or notified, or alerted to anything. And I want a limited amount of ads which my ad blockers manage quite well. One of my favourite Safari features is the Reader View which cuts all the visual crapola. I just got asked by…

Mac OS and IOS will never merge.... and yet, they kinda already have. iOS / iPad OS / Mac OS now just seem like slightly different varieties tailored to each type of device. I can't wait for mac's to get touch screens. Before you laugh me out of t…

Tracking should ALWAYS be an opt in thing. Not just on-line but with credit cards and anything else. I am glad Apple is taking steps. That tracking in any form has somehow become acceptable is just so very wrong.

App Library desperately needs the ability to change folder names and to manually rearrange apps. I like the fact that it is automatic but we need one folder at the top that we can manage. Or at least one that shows frequently used apps and with the …

If any ceo deserves it TC does but truth be told nobody is worth 1 billion. It is obscene by any reasonable metric.

Not only should voting be paid time off, it should be obligatory. It is a small price to pay for a functioning democracy. That the US laughably referred to as 'land of the free' by some of its inhabitants can't manage to stage open and fair election…

I am an on and off Apple News user. I like that it is right there and I like the breath of choice, but I am not crazy about having news curated in the way I think it is (not certain). When I read news I don't really want to only read what I already…

I prefer Apple Maps but the inability to plot routes, with any start point is a big negative. Hope they fix that. And I wish they'd either buy or struck a deal with DDG to use their services somehow. I am not a DDG user most of the time but if they…

30% has always seemed on the high side and it has been controversial since day one. I don't know what the costs are but we do know Apple makes shedloads of money and it would make sense (to me), for Apple to share some of the spoils with the creativ…

AppleInsider said: The MacBook Air is much cheaper and is probably the best choice for the everyday consumer who doesn't fire up Logic or FinalCut Pro often (or at all). Apple's cheapest notebook is still fast enough to handle all the web br…
