It should be noted that Verizon gave a years subscription to D+ when announced, and that years ended as of yesterday. I’ll bet D+ loses a bunch of subscribers in November, myself included. A good reason for bragging about how great it was doing in O…

Hey guys, just listened to the segment on ripping Blu-Rays, and this is something I’m doing myself. I use the Computer app on both 3rd and 4th gen TVs with the TV app on my Mac. All my h.265 files are stored on my Drobo, which I was able to specif…

Uh, what about EV routing? This isn't just "EV Data", it's intelligent routing to your destination plotting multiple charging waypoints. This is HUGE, especially with CarPlay integration. Can't believe it's (sort of) mentioned in the title but not O…

Oh, one more gripe. (Sorry.) 32,768? Really Apple? These machines have gobs of virtual memory. I deal with spreadsheets that frequently have more than 2^15 rows. This is a 64 bit machine -- would 2^32 rows really be too much to ask for?

I love Numbers. I've used Excel since it first came out on the Mac back in the '80s, through a couple decades on Windows for Intel and Alpha, and have learned to loathe the ribbon and user-hostile interface it has. However, I do have one gripe, and …

bonobob said: I downloaded Pass2u, and started to create a pass for a loyalty card. The app wanted me to login using my Facebook id (or one of Google or Twitter, I forget which). At this point, I closed and deleted the app. Yup, same her…

sandor said: so why am i supposed to pay $35 a month for OTA channels i get for free? I'm guessing that you probably don't have to. I, OTOH, live in an area with flat flood plains, save for two "mountains". All the TV companies have the…

I absolutely love the new dynamic traffic analysis in Maps. I've been using it extensively this week just to go to work and back home. I've had Maps re-route me several times on my trip to take subtle but important changes that have shaved several m…

I just left the following 1-star review on the iPad version of the Amazon Video app: "Where's the tvOS version of this app? I don't want to watch movies on the small screen when I've got a big screen! Like General Tarkin learned, "the more you tig…

Didn't the FBI (or was it the DoJ?) come out and say yesterday that Apple had never objected to any of the previous requests for information, contrary to what Apple claimed in their Open Letter? If this is true, then the FBI has been caught in yet A…

Whoever said iBeacon was closed? (Besides GoOgle, of course.) The tech is totally open; I know of Beacon providers that also have Android apps that work with them (e.g., BluuBeam: http://bluubeam.com/pages/download). There's nothing proprietary abou…

It's important to note that there appears to be more to come. iWork is just the beginning. If you look at the underlying code, you'll find references to more functions, including calendars, reminders, mail, contacts, and more. This makes a lot of se…

And there were plenty of other folks "designing" iPads in October 2009. Like Wired's Gadget Lab, or DotGizmo. They had some pretty good renderings by then, too. If Samsung was only just starting in October, they were way behind the curve!

I've done some simple testing from a performance perspective, and there aren't any real surprises with Google. They're in the same ballpark as the other remote bind servers like DynDNS and OpenDNS, which is a bit slower than my ISP, but nowhere nea…

ZDnet has an blog article comparing the "analysis" done by Munster with that done by Whitmore. Munster spent 9 hours in 3 stores (i.e., 3 hours in each); Whitmore analyzed the sales results of over 150 stores, including online sellers like Amazon a…

Not just 15 out of 175 million, but over a 4 year period. That's the equivalent of winning the Florida lottery twice in a year! Wow, "800 pages". Not "only 15 occurrences in 4 years", but "800 pages". Sounds more menacing, doesn't it? What …
