Wow, people need to relax and dial it back a bit. "not supported" does not equal "will stop working". There are plenty of products, probably in most of our homes, that are no longer supported but continue to hum along just fine. I have an old iPod …

Wanting to run this awesome cool beta, I googled for and downloaded it from some weird site. Now, not only is my Mac crashing, but so is every other computer on my network! Apple broke my network! /s

As others have already pointed out, Safari isn't the only browser targeted. Historically, all of them get successfully hacked. And the security contest doesn't just target browsers; they also target other popular web-connected apps like Adobe Ac…

In the US, the issue isn't getting the banks and credit cards on-board, the issue is getting stores to adopt / enable it. Every credit card I have supports Apple Pay, yet I have virtually no where to use it. Of course, many stores here are still s…

Count me as a daily reader of Apple News. It's good enough that I've deleted the other news apps from my phone, once it gained the headline 'notifications' like the other news apps. I would still like to see some small improvements. A "dark mode" …

In this day and age where EVERYTHING is being hacked -- from webcams to DVR's to "smart" TV's -- to think that Macs are not being targeted is naive. In my job, I see a LOT of Macs, both business and personal (and a lot of Windows-based machines a…

I've had ad-blocking in Safari since at least iOS 6 or so. It's probably too tedious for most folks, but I find that a majority of websites still function nearly perfectly. At least for my purposes. It blocks all ads, and websites are insanely…

Often overlooked is that Skylake also introduces support for DDR4 memory modules. DDR4 promises to double the access speed over the current DDR3, as well as lower power consumption. Everything else being equal, this by itself has potential to dram…

I'm glad Apple continues to line up banks. But I'd like to see more retailers (yes, I know that in a lot of ways, that's a bit out of Apple's hands). I routinely use ApplePay at Walgreens and Whole Foods (lunch hot-bar). And I've used it a Macys…
