  • Masimo CEO steps down, but not because of Apple Watch dispute

    "Former Masimo CEO Joe Kiani may have won the war against Apple, but he has resigned after losing a fight with a hedge fund."

    Masimo won a key battle, but has not won the war. Not when Apple still has a lot of leverage and can wait out the remaining patent claims it didn't get invalidated.

  • Cellular Apple Watch buyers call out Verizon's maddening activation block

    I took my new black AW Ultra into the local store and they set it up. Bought the watch from Apple. I have two iPhones, an AW and an iPad on Verizon and I despise them,  the worst service, they are always scheming to charge more in the sneakiest way possible. Like charging me for  Verizon cloud which I don’t want and will never use. But who is better?  I will gladly switch. 
    I've heard nothing but good things about T-Mobile. We use them for our phones, and a couple friends use them for cellular AW. Only caveat: while in NYC no major issues. While in Central Virginia we occasionally get spotty service; don't know about friend's cellular AW coverage though.

  • J.D. Vance shouldn't open his mouth about Apple if he doesn't have a clue

    It's a sad reflection on the fear-mongering negativity one side is using. Personally, I'm a huge fan of lifting us all up instead.

    Above all: Don't believe whatever comes out of the mouth of a selfishly-guided politician just because he said it. Most are all too happy to promote half-truths, mostly lie, or outright lie in order to "win". I'm sorry, but it is no win for us to be misled, and only find out what we were buying after he's already in office; telling us what we can and can't do without being asked again. They don't care if we agreed. They will be the ones in the power chair and will tell us, dictator style, not ask. 
    Agreed.  Yep, he should focus on aliens eating cats and dogs and Governors executing live babies; you know, real news that's fact-checked. /s
    And a few minutes ago, I believe Mr. Trump announced he will do no more debates, not even in the friendly confines of Fox News with Fox moderators. Probably for the best. 
    When you get your ass thoroughly whooped, you stay away from another beating.

  • Apple Watch Series 10 vs Apple Watch Ultra 2 - comparing the biggest wearables

    I'm torn about upgrading to the 10. I usually buy in the Fall and was planning to wait till next year to upgrade since I bought the 9 last fall. But the larger size and jet black has me rethinking. I'll check out the 10 in-person mid-October to decide.

  • Trump vs. Harris: How to watch the September 10 Presidential debate online

    I watched some Apple TV+ & then baseball. Reading friends reactions on social media I didn't miss a thing. Well, besides the "very stable genius" proving once again he is a deranged traitor:

    "I have concepts of a plan"

    "In Springfield, they're eating dogs! They're eating cats!"

    "I saw it on TV!"

    Those are his talking points? At this point his supporters are just as batspit crazy and racist.
