Even if the interest rate was half what it is, it’s insane to pay those rates of interest. I haven’t paid any interest on a credit card in over 40 years. I don’t care about wear and tear on the physical card because I never carry it. If a place do…

Wow. Under $100,000. What a bargain. The price of EV’s has fallen each year and there are great cars for less than half that price from Hyundai and others. If Apple release a close to $100,000 car, IMO, that’s really going to hurt their brand an…

Except that artists did make money in the physical model and in the download model, even though labels found ways to rip off artists back then as well. The streaming model doesn’t work for all but the A-list charting artists. I have a family m…

I don’t get how this happens in a large company like Apple. In all the large companies I worked for (and all smaller than Apple), there were many levels of approval needed both before acquisition of goods or services and to approve payment. Any go…

I had an iPhone 6 and avoided buying a new iPhone as the 6 was dying because I was waiting for Apple to restore Touch, as rumored. But apps important to me would no longer work on the last iOS that was available for the 6 and a year ago I bought the…

Back in the day, apps were efficient and wrote small files. Early word processor documents were only slightly larger than the number of characters in the document. Overhead in today’s files is enormous. I can’t believe anyone can accomplish anyth…

It’s really quite simple: if Apple wants to keep the union out, rather than hype or threats, all they need to do is up the pay scale. Apple is known for paying their corporate, marketing, engineering and other such workers well, but their retail w…

This is just greed. Disney+ already generates about $11b in subscriber revenue that they don’t have to share with theaters or international distributors. That’s far more than they ever made from theatrical. Do they really want to match Netflix f…

I’ve disputed a few transactions electronically and in a few cases, spoke to someone and have had no problems whatsoever. The charges were removed immediately pending further investigation and eventually were permanently removed. Most were charges…

Many of the key caps wore away on my late 2016 MBP and one broke off completely. I bought a set of key caps from a third party, but I broke two of the clips in the underlying keyboard in the process, so those caps just sit there loose. One is the P…

The Nikkei article is garbage journalism that quotes no sources. While it has been quite obvious for some time that Nikon was not going to release any new DSLR’s or F-mount lenses, they are not yet leaving that business. The D6, D780, D3500, D850 …

Dealer margins have been cut to almost nothing by almost everyone. These companies don’t seem to believe in the age of e-commerce that they need the retailers. Back in the 1970’s, I sold audio equipment for a NYC-area department store chain. If …

I don't get why under the EU rules, Apple couldn't make the charger USB-C, but keep the phone as Lightning (if they wanted to).
