  • Crypto holders left holding the bag as FTX exchange collapses

    I have little sympathy for those who fall for schemes. Putting a little something in high risk is fun and exciting, but like Las Vegas gambling is not a sound financial plan. 

    Cryptocurrency is not a scheme, not a fad. But often it's run by greedy, get-rich-quick-minded folks that aren't looking at the long-term plan. It's a very volatile type of currency, so as long as you invest with that in mind, it can be very lucrative. In other words, don't put all of your eggs into one basket.

  • Apple Music removes Kanye West playlist after controversy


    I have zero sympathy for "Ye" with his recent behaviour.

    "after the singer make antisemitic remarks on Twitter"

    Really?
    Yes, AppleInsider articles are frequently full of typos. Also, apparently I’ve been banned for pointing this out so be careful! They can criticize but clearly don’t like receiving any.

    I've pointed these typos and grammatical errors out, too. If we don't, we're allowing them to continue. Online publications everywhere have gone downhill in terms of editorial quality. It seems to be more about getting fresh content online quickly rather than making sure that content is held to a certain standard.

  • Compared: M2 iPad Pro vs M1 iPad Pro


    Maybe I'm getting old, but this statement just rings as being overly dramatic and excessive:
    Apple's refresh to the line introduces one extremely major change, that of the switch over from M1 to M2. The change in chip should provide a considerable performance boost for those buying it over the previous generation.

    Wasn't it expected? Why is it an "extreme" change? The M2 is not that much of a leap over M1. The move from A-series to M-series was more dramatic, wasn't it?

  • Compared: M2 MacBook Air versus Microsoft Surface Laptop 5


    Gotta give it to Microsoft... the Surface lineup is pretty darn solid! I would never buy one (I don't do Windows™), but happy that there's some serious competition to keep Apple on their toes.

  • Microsoft's next event is around when the Mac & iPad event is expected

    October 23, 2001 is when the world changed. iPod was introduced. I remember because that's my birthday. :smile: 

    I wish Apple would get back to surprising us with new products, not just iterations.
