I've been doing battle, with Direct TV, for the last couple days. When I moved my daughter to my AT&T cell plan somehow Direct TV Now was added to my service. I never received notification and in fact have never even logged into the service. Bas…

Seems like this is just a big transfer of $$$ from taxpayers to shareholders. Would this plant have been built without huge financial incentives? I seriously doubt it...

I worked at Apple, from 1987 to 1992, and during most of those years Scully was revered as a good CEO. He successfully steered the ship out of some treacherous waters but couldn’t prevent Apple from hitting the rocks in 1991-1992. He was obviously a…

Tons of good wireless routers on the market. Mesh are a great solution, especially if you have 'dead spots', but they are still a bit pricy. I bought a Linksys AC1900 with an AC1900+ range extender and it's fast and reliable. Think I paid about $150…

The speaker quality, of AirPod, can't compensate for the deficiencies in Siri. Apple will eventually get it right, but in the meantime Amazon-powered speakers will have wider appeal. It have a Sonos Playbase which I really like...

I read this article last night. It provides what I believe to be an honest assessment of the Crown Prince... https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/09/a-saudi-princes-quest-to-remake-the-middle-east

Every few months a story like this pops up on AI and have the same response. Apple will NOT abandon x86 architecture for the Macintosh. It would kill their Enterprise Mac business. They will continue to develop their own specialized processors, for …

The Air is by far the #1 Apple notebook sold to corporations. It makes sense they would keep it in the line with an upgraded Intel processor. I personally don't think they need a 4K display, on this machine, since most people doing that kind of grap…

I think Apple simply made a decision to get the product to market as soon as possible knowing that it lacks many of the key features of its competitors. Sound quality being the one redeeming value right now. Having already missed the 2017 holiday wi…

Pretty much confirmed what I've thought. Great audio. Missing or lacking in some key features. Expect it will get better over time...

In a mature market Apple's strategy of selling iPhone at higher margins seems to have paid off. Obviously Apple is in an envious position, however their business model depends on bringing cool/new stuff to market and I don't see a new category in th…

I’ll wait for HomePod 2 🤨

Seems like a reasonable resolution for users experiencing slowdowns due to battery issues. Obviously, folks will have different opinions but Apple's reputation is based on user experience and clearly throttling performance, to preserve battery life,…

Corporations are not benevolent organizations dedicated to the welfare of their employees. They are profit-seeking enterprises that will take whatever steps necessary (usually within the law) to maximize revenues, profits, and shareholder value. Yea…

Public corporations have a responsibility to maximize shareholder value. Period. End of story. Employees are generally compensated based on merit and their ability to negotiate with employers. Why would anyone assume that corporations will transfer …

I see the iMac Pro as strictly a stop gap to a redesigned Mac Pro. Most high end users really want a system that they can customize and expand for their particular applications and the iMac's expansion is basically limited to almost entirely externa…

Given that Apple Pay is linked to a user's bank account (Debit card) or credit card, large transfers ($10K+) would be subject to reporting by the financial institution. Creative hackers would always find new ways to try and skirt the laws...

Not working for me either...

Apple takes their NDA’s very seriously. His firing was meant to send a message to other Apple employees and in my opinion was completely appropriate. Sorry to be so harsh, but when you work for a(ny) company you abide by their rules or face the cons…
