  • How to use an inexpensive TV set as a monitor for your Mac, and why you might not want to

    fallenjtfallenjt
    Got this 43” LG 4K monitor for $399 at Costco and love it. It can display my 4 separate HDMI sources at the same time: Mac Mini, Apple TV, Home PC and Work PC. I don’t have to use HDMI switch as with my older monitor.
    Btw, it did come with a remote controller too.

  • Apple details Siri's machine learning upgrades for better listening on HomePod

    fallenjtfallenjt
    To be honest, I’m Apple freak and HomePod was the only Apple product I bought and returned. Beside listening to music, you don’t have much use for it. I use Amazon Echo more at home because of its capabilities and compatibility. I can get 2 Echoes (2nd generation) and an Echo Sub for $200 and they blow HomePod away!

  • The new Mac mini is a great machine, but a $499 model could serve a larger audience

    Unfortunately Apple under Cook is way too greedy for that. The iPhone has convinced them that people are more than willing to pay crazy high prices for an Apple product so why should they release an iPhone or Mac aimed towards education or lower income buyers. If people stopped paying the crazy high prices then Apple would have to lower their margins. But until then Apple has zero incentives to make affordable products for education or anyone else.
    Same for BMW and Mercedes. Don’t like it? Get a Camry or in this case, a China made brand PC.

    I do find this funny every time it happens. All these people paid by Samesung to use their device and show it off, and in the end, those same people are really using a iPhone for their day to day stuff and Apple isn't paying them. Hey, If Samesung wanted to pay me a million dollars to use their phone for a while, I'd do it and leave my iPhone at home. But as soon as the terms were up, I'd be back on my iPhone.
    Would you take $1M to give it up forever?

    As the old saying goes, I think we know what you are; now we are just haggling price. (and please - this is not a personal attack, just a recitation of an oldish joke.)
    I'll bite, I'll gladly take $1M to give up my iPhone forever. I'm a massive Apple fan, and I won't like it, but that equation is a no-brainer, for me at least.
    For an average Joe, yeah $1M is huge but for celebrities, it’s pocket change.
