Between 2015 and 2020 -- half a decade -- Microsoft contentedly sat on Windows 10. In 2011 it delivered Windows 11. That's a lot like saying Apple "contentedly sat" on Mac OS X from March 2001 to November 2020 because they didn't change the major ve…

I think Mr. Hale needs to go back at look at Apple's history, especially under Jobs. He firmly believed if you don't cannibalize your own products, someone else will. He knew the iPod Mini, nano, and Suffle would cannibalize sales of their higher en…

Also, note that as this article mentions, third-party Mac developers have to add an extended attribute to their app download distributions (com.apple.quarantine) if the apps are distributed outside the Mac App Store. Although most developers will ho…

3,000 square feet for parking? I feel like you're missing at least one digit. You could fit 33 RAV4s in 3,000 square feet if you parked them bumper to bumper.

And didn't even mention that Google Maps couldn't figure out rural addresses that were formatted similar to N5555 Someplace Rd. It happily dropped you in the dead center of the road, didn't matter if that road spanned three counties. We used to ha…

Probably really depends how it is used. We have Find My (with sharing) enabled. We first enabled it to help with my dad, who was having medical issues. If he was somewhere on our land and didn't return as expected, it would allow us to locate and …

You can also add a wireless CarPlay adapter to many cars. I use one in my Expedition all the time. My biggest complaint, and this is probably more of a Ford issue than Apple, although Apple could fix it too, is how many button pushes it takes to g…

Love how his own example blows holes in his argument. "Yes, Apple built the iPhone hardware and they designed iOS, and they deserve to earn a fantastic return by selling their devices with their operating system, as did the railroads deserve to ear…

hucom2000 said: I wish there was a 16 inch MacBook Air, that would be perfect for what I need in screen size and plenty powerful. I'm wondering if they'll eventually come out with a 15" Air, or drop the Air name and just call it a MacBook.…

Just another Dropbox alternative. Box has added Apple Silicon support and is now using the native APIs as well... Interesting how many developers didn't take notes after what happened to QuarkXpress. It was THE page layout program. Then it didn'…
