The 'closed' vs. 'open' Mac debate goes back as far as the 1980's. The new Mac Pro is NOT the upgradable machine for the average consumer. It's the overpriced and under-spec'd (in my opinion) machine for Mac-centric video and audio professionals. It…

The Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX in my car supports a Wifi connection. My bigger question is what will be necessary to use the new iOS 13 Car Play features with my existing receiver. I'm assuming it's at least a firmware upgrade...

Looks impressive, however there are a few drawbacks. 1. Single CPU only. Most professional workstations offer a dual CPU option. 2. AMD graphics only. Curious as to whether nor not nVidia GPU's will even work in this machine. 3. Limited storage bay…

A couple of things stand out, which in my opinion are alarming trends: 1. iPhone sales are falling. This could be a reflection of a maturing market and longer upgrade cycles, but I suspect Apple's 'premium' pricing strategy has something to do with…

Glad Apple passed on buying Intel’s 5G modem business. If the world’s leading semiconductor company couldn’t get their 5G product to market, until at least 2020, what makes people think Apple can? I realize Apple has other considerations, but it doe…

Apple using AWS is not a big revelation. Most large companies are using AWS in some capacity. Like most large companies, Apple is also likely using MS Azure and Google Cloud Platform as well. Most companies are utilizing a 'Hybrid' Cloud vs. On-Prem…

I had one of these installed in my 2014 Honda Accord and really like it. Would have preferred a factory-installed CarPlay unit, but most manufacturers only started offering them in the last couple years. My only advice would be to make sure you have…

Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses and take your lumps. Apple has made plenty of mistakes. Anyone remember the Macintosh Cube? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G4_Cube Or the debacle of all Apple debacles, the Apple III https://en.w…

Well...at least Apple had the good sense to kill a product they know wasn’t safe to bring to market. I’m guessing that given that AirPower was an electrical charging device, it either couldn’t pass certification and/or the attorneys thought Apple’s …

I do not support Elizabeth Warren's candidacy, but believe she is fostering an important discussion. EW has been a tireless advocate for consumers vs. big, powerful corporations. Before being elected to the Senate she was a law professor and has stu…

When you run your supply chain, in China, your IP will be constantly under attack. Not sure if there’s much Apple or the US Government can do to combat or prevent this short of pulling out of China...

There is major distinction between the San Bernardino and Stone cases. In the San Bernardino case, the FBI also wanted Apple to provide a backdoor into the shooter’s iPhone. The government can legally obtain a warrant to search your iCloud account…

Appointing Larry Kudlow as Director of National Economic Council is one in a long line of bad decisions/appointments. Kudlow is second only to Peter Navarro in terms of cluelessness...

anantksundaram said: "Apple Cloud Services". A business oxymoron. Haven't the finally outsourced it to AWS? Nope. That's not to say they don't utilize IaaS providers, but Apple builds/owns/maintains a significant amount of infrastructure …

Tim Cook certainly doesn't need my advice, but nonetheless here are some observations and suggestions ;-) - Macroeconomics forces certainly had some impact as the impact of the Trade War, Currency Fluctuations, etc. tended to suppress demand on in…

In my opinion, Apple should work with an existing PC manufacturer to bring a Macintosh Professional Workstation to market. The problem is that a) it's a low-volume product for Apple, b) it takes years and multiple product cycles to refine such a pro…

Anyone who knows Apple's history know that they failed miserably manufacturing in the US. Same for Jobs when he was founder and CEO at NeXT. One of the smartest things he did was to hire Tim Cook to run Apple Operations. It allowed Apple to focus it…

Graham'sNumber said: I love the watch but the Nike app is just not up to the quality of Apple's workout app. I find the Nike app incredibly problematic. Nothing more infuriating than getting back from a run to find the Nike app stopped half w…

I was working at Apple, in Higher Education Sales, when NeXT launched. NeXT was busy poaching Apple HE Sales Reps so on a moment's notice we were flown to NYC and wined and dined for a couple days. It was basically a big party to remind people why t…

I don't use Apple's Email Client on MacOSX or iOS. I've tried, but compared to other email clients, they are just too buggy and cumbersome...
