    Now *this* is the funniest way to start Election Day: first it was 13,000 jobs and that got revised to 3,000 "knowledge-based workers" and now even *that* looks imperiled.

    And all at a hefty cost to Wisconsin voters. For those of you old enough (which means, no one), this will play out like a reboot of "Gung Ho," only the Chinese version.
    At then end, thousands of Chinese workers will be imported due to the shortage. Welcome to the America...

  • Should you upgrade to Apple's redesigned 2018 iPad Pro?

    I thought I could justify an upgrade from my Air2 (quite old now) which performs well enough but lacks features the new pro iPads have. 

    but its it’s the new familiar story with Apple.. so ridiculously expensive. Astronomically so in the case of the iPad Pros. 

    Eapecially when you you factor in a pencil and keyboard to make the most of your new pro device plus any extra storage , case , or LTE. 

    They may be powerful but the iOS approach doesn’t suit all use cases which makes it an additional purchase to a say a laptop and phone (eg. Creatives who also code) 

    iPads worked and sold well because they were a value device (consumption device or companion device). These new pro’s are arguably more than that (strong creative) but I don’t think there are millions of people willing to pay as much as a Mac book pro to have one (with the accessories). The low end iPad isn’t even an upgrade from my Air2 either so at present unless I want to cough up a grand , I’ll be sticking with the air 2. 

    Apple is becoming the Prada of the tech world. Quality.. sure, but priced for the rich! 


    This’s where you’re wrong! Many will buy it for the its application and performance. BMW and Mercedes are expensive too with options. They don’t mean for Toyota Camry or Honda Accord owners.

  • A higher-end AirPods revision would fill a market niche nicely

    AirPods are $139 everyday at Costco. No need for coupons from online retailers.

  • Samsung working on cheaper option for 'Galaxy S10,' just like Apple's iPhone XR

    Samsung copied everything of significance relating to their phones from Apple. You have to be willfully blind to not seie this. On the other hand, they make fine components and deserve respect for that.
    Samsung did copy a lot but not all.

    Just 2 examples:
     - The Galaxy S4 was the first flagship with a 5" screen.  Apple followed only 18 months later with the iPhone 6.
     - Apple copied a lot of the improvements in the notifications from Android to iOS.    
    Are you really that dumb or hust ignorant? Apple was the first one that released the huge screen: 3.5”. Sansung came after with bigger sizes like 4”, 4.5” or 5”. You can’t just cherry pick 1 size and claim to be the first. What a stupid comment!
    btw, for your cluelessness, entire Android was iOS copycat! All notifications, cool features and Widgets came from iOS jailbreak communities. You don’t know what the fck you’re talking about. Go back to pre-iOS Android: it’s a damn OS for physical keyboard, not multitouch UI.

  • Comparing photography: iPhone XS Max versus Google Pixel 3 XL

    fallenjtfallenjt
    Xs Max picture quality is stunning. I have used many generations of iPhones and Xs Max is the only phone that I’m happy with the quality and performance. It takes pictures and focuses so fast that allows to take great quality of pictures of kids who constantly move around.
