Love the idea. But the biggest obstacle to any social network is adoption. I'm not using a network which my friends won't use. This was a huge lesson from Google+ which ostensibly has better privacy options with the Circles concept and great ph…

Still works. Still solid.

iPads are nice to have. But most young kids need basic laptops so they can learn to be productive on a computer. So they can type. So they can look up things. Since Apple has no sub-$500 laptops, Chromebooks are just fine. As a taxpayer I d…

Quote:Originally Posted by fallenjt 1) No one cares about 5X, I meant 6P, the flagship phone. My entire response applies equally if not more so to the 6P which has even higher screen-to-area ratio: 71% and an extra front-facing speaker (the 5X ha…

Quote:Originally Posted by fallenjt 6P looked very nice until I saw the camera hump and huge front top/bottom bezels which served no purpose. Why don't they just put the fingerprint button at the bottom front bezel like iPhone and bring speakers to…

Apple needs to jump in with something like Google's Fi project to target the carrier's stingy behaviour....

Don't see the point of the Pixel C. The problem with Android tablets is not the hardware, it's the lack of great tablet apps (beyond Google's own). iPad has the clear lead here.....

I don't get the complaints about the Fingerprint sensor on the back. It serves two purposes: 1) Maximizes screen real estate in the front. 2) Allows for easy unlock with the sensor in a natural position for the index finger. That's why it's on…

Privacy comes at a price. More specifically the cost of the Apple premium. And that's a price that only a select chunk of the population can afford. That's reality. I supposed one could argue that a user could buy an older generation device and…

Comments on AI are hilarious. Nest was all awesome (being founded by an ex-Apple VP and all that....) until Google snapped them up. Now they're evil? Why? Is my thermostat suddenly spying on me? Laughable. I still like think their products ar…

The problem with Snowden, isn't his whistleblowing revelations that the American government was spying on Americans. It's the fact that he stole thousands and thousands of highly classified files, that had nothing to do with intelligence gathering …
