AppleInsider said: Now according to a Bernstein financial report first spotted by The Register, Google is actually paying Apple significantly more. "We estimate that the ISA [Information Services Agreement] is worth $18B-20B in annual paymen…

Sa change it after the initial setup. It’s hilarious reading the faux outrage out in the community like it’s some kind of massive conspiracy. It only takes seconds. I couldn’t care less if it doesn’t give me that choice at setup. Why stop at def…

darkvader said: So, the same version of the same app isn't a problem on earlier iPhones or iOS versions. But it's somehow that app's fault? Nope. This is on Apple. Have you always been this inept, or was it an acquired trait?

chasm said: Given Apple's recent unethical treatment of workers who want to unionise, I'll be interested to see what evidence she has that she was unfairly dismissed, et al. I have healthy doubt that everything she's claiming will stand up to…

Satechi docks have been nothing but trash over the years in our offices. Unstable drivers, compatibility issues. Even if Satechi (maybe) resolved those problem, I will not touch them ever again. Went with Caldigit and all was well in the village a…

I use AirTag's religiously for all my luggage and certain high-value items. I really wish that Apple's next-gen AirTag be even thinner and preferably flatter. It would be nice if companies would start including AirTag-specific areas in their prod…

I'm a professional underwater photographer. There's been quite a few underwater housing options for smartphones for a while. I do like this version as it appears to be quite a more robust offering. That being said, I would never use my primary pho…

bsd228 said: The Intel NUC hasn't died. Like the IBM PC, it has been coopted by legions of OEMs offering original NUC sized compute units for $200-500. $270 got me a hex core AMD with 2.5gb ethernet, 16gbs, and a win 11 license to toss a…

American companies need to place Chinese nationals under the most intense microscope when given jobs that grant access to U.S. tech. If they have roots in China, they should have their passports immediately taken. This is ridiculous. Shame on the…

grom007 said: I do not understand why Apple does not release the m3 MacBook Pro before the MacBook Air. It gives incentive to consumers to buy the very best. You do know that the M2 MBP's came out only three months ago right?

Can’t happen soon enough. QC will be junk chips soon enough and have to rely on Android scraps.

BiC said: These guys are virgins. They've never had their GiRL track them with that evil machine. This is my fourth post on this topic. I still take the bus, and I'm as paranoid as a pint addict turning the bat. Half my fortune will not b…

Dooofus said: Nothing to see here folks, move along. It's the same old story, people buy Apple products of their own free will. If there is something you don't like about their products, be it the mandatory WebKit-based browsers on iOS or any…

I can't see Microsoft ever really being a major player in the ARM-hardware space. I see Microsoft using whatever Qualcomm ARM chips are available.

Many years ago, a CEO/Owner friend of mine discovered his CFO has embezzled millions from his company. Long story short, the guy went to jail for three years and was ordered to pay back all the stolen money. Money that the thief used basically on …

Every phone company (Hello Samsung) would kill to have this kind of brand recognition and loyalty.
