PlayStation Vue for me. Netflix on my Apple TV. Yeah. I am surprised Apple is lagging on this, but others have quickly filled the void. PlayStation Vue even works on the latest Apple TV, but since I have an older ATV I watch it on my daughter's PS4.…

BTW, my company was also affected by this outage which was apparently caused by a Global Denial of Service (GDOS) attack...

Apple Music and iTunes Match have not been working properly since about 10:00isn PST this morning. While Apple will not publicly discuss, their Internet Services Operation (ISO) is a user of Amazon Web Services and thus Apple users have likely been …

iPad is a great product, but frankly it's expensive compared to Android-based alternatives. I also don't really consider the MS Surface as an equivalent competitor since the Surface is really more of a PC with 'tablet-like' functionality. The realit…

Impressive quarter. The only downside is that iPhone sales make up an even larger percentage of Apple's revenue. This poses significant downside risks, should sales flatten or not meet/exceed expectations in the future. So while this is good news fo…

This is all Kabuki Theater. What really matters is the change in unemployment and the total number of manufacturing jobs created in the US over the next four years. Also add GDP growth, into the mix, and this is what the Trump Administration will be…

I respectfully disagree with Mr. Thiel with regards to Apple. As a market matures, the rate of innovation always tends to slow. This is true for automobiles, televisions, and just about every other product ever developed. Apple is by no means done b…

Publicly-traded corporations, like Apple, have a responsibility to maximize shareholder value. If manufacturing overseas can facilitate this, better than manufacturing in the US, they will do so regardless of what anyone wants. What's a president Tr…

Trump has a habit of meeting with people for show (he IS a reality TV personality), but in the end he'll do whatever he wants. Silicon Valley has no interest in a president being involved in their business, such as telling them who they can hire, wh…

I generally like the look and feel of my Apple Watch Nike+, but I have to say that the Nike Run Club app, on Apple Watch, is pure shit! Not only does the Watch-only app barely work, but there is really no handoff between the app on iPhone and Apple …

Plenty of good bluetooth headsets on the market. In my opinion, Beats is more hype than anything else. I find them to be uncomfortable, bass-heavy, and overpriced for what they are. The W1 chip is a convenience, but once you pair a headset you usual…

I think Apple's decision to discontinue building their own wireless router has more to do with economics than anything else. Apple's routers appeal mainly to Mac users and thus this limits their sales volume. I am also very intrigued at the emergenc…

Apple can't sell enough monitors to make a decent business with them. That's because Apple monitors are only designed to work with Apple products. Better they should work with several monitor manufactures to support the features of their new Macs su…

Microsoft is definitely going after Apple's mindshare of creative professionals. I think in relation to their past, Microsoft has out innovated Apple. However, Microsoft is still fundamentally a software company and hardware is still a relatively sm…
