Meh. Cut the cable some time ago. They can keep their content. I go over the air (mostly dreck, occasionally good stuff) and ATV/Netflix. Get internet access through phone company DSL. Slow on paper (~5 mbit/sec) yet somehow Netflix never stutte…

Samsung has profit envy.

"Flash"? Oh yeah, wasn't that that doohicky that they mainly used for ads about a decade ago? My work PC still has it - I know, because there's a pop-up that appears semi-regularly that says Flash has crashed. I just hit the "x" in the corner an…

Maybe everyone has already seen this, but here's a You Tube video of the actual 4.7" iPhone6 sapphire screen cover undergoing a torture test. Pretty impressive when he steps on one end and tries to break it by lifting the other with his hand. Brit…

Regarding previous stories, I thought this one was pertinent: Quote: Samsung’s management team is meeting from December 17th through the 20th to discuss its plans for the next year, and one of the main topics is “crisis awareness,”ZDNet reported.…

Has anyone said what hardware protocol (if any) they would favor? I'm still using (prehistoric) X-10, which is (generally) fine for turning lights on and off, although not exactly as robust as it should be. I'd move on, but there are so many (incom…

PPS- For what short-term stock market movements are worth (probably not much), AAPL went from 1% down to green as soon as Amazon's announcement was out. Which is to say, Wall Street doesn't see much risk to Apple here. At least not this afternoo…
