The WSJ is behind a paywall and is much less impacted by clickbait that the modern internet media landscape suffers from and is one of the few news sources that spends years researching a story. Look at the Theranos investigation that exposed it's f…

Phobos7 said: Unbelievable, yet conceivable that Apple hasn’t addressed this “phenomenon” yet. They have. The 2017,2019 iMacs bond the cover glass to the monitor - I took one apart on my build to put a broken 2017 iMac 5k motherboard in a …

Also win 10 added timeliner recently - it's a recently used files full screen pop up overlay from the taskbar and has been a workflow godsend - best thing to come out of Redmond since the Xbox. I hope apple copies it in the next osX...

cynegils said: The overall price for this machine is pretty close to insanity. The components for the base model, with a 3.5ghz 8 core and accessories, is not worth anything near the starting price of $6K, and that doesn't even include all th…

I installed backup cameras on two older cars for my aging parents - $40-$60 for a kit on Amazon, screen is mounted on dash and no phone connection is needed ~1-2 hours to install. This was a silly idea IMHO - too much fuss - when you get in a car yo…

Am I the only one sick of the Mac Pros not being able to have i5/i7 (and now i9). The forced Xeon crap is getting old - especially since it's primary for data servers which Mac Pros are not and aren't used that way. IMHO it has always been an excuse…

I don't think people get Microsoft's strategy with Surface line - make the best product technically possible with Windows to set a benchmark to drive the other PC OEMs to compete and raise the perception, image, quality and competitiveness of PC des…

I use primarily macs for home and my business but I IT a small medical clinic and bought 6 surface pro3s for electronic medical records. They are nice - the docs fill out the forms with the styluses because it is 3x more efficient then trackpad - bu…
