  • Video: How Apple's Intelligent Tracking Protection in Safari works

    Wow, that would not only piss me off but be the reason I'd never do business with "Bark". Talk about casting a wide net! From time-to-time I get unsolicited but targeted email and I let those businesses know that I've blacklisted them (and I'm sure they give a ****). Like the stock photo site 123RF.com where I'd regularly purchased images until they decided I needed to be spammed as well (ignoring that I was not subscribed to their marketing emails).
    THIS^^

    The problem is I've blacklisted so many sites over the years I have run out of places to buy from! :)

    Problem is exacerbated leading up to Christmas as many of those Companies that I had previously blacklisted and where I had already unsubscribed suddenly started to spam me again.

    What annoys me even more is where I have had to return a product because it is faulty, sub-standard or where I've had a run-in with the Company and I am plagued with adverts from the same company for the same item I had just returned on almost every website I visit...grrrrr.

  • Samsung will debut 'Galaxy S9' at Mobile World Congress next month

    What's the betting it will be called Galaxy SX or Galaxy SX Plus or something else to indicate it is on par with the iPhone X.

    Of course when I say X I actually mean 10 so maybe Galaxy S10/S10 Plus maybe? /s

  • Track the 'bomb cyclone' with the best third-party weather apps for your iPhone or iPad

    Accuweather? The same app that might have violated Apple’s guidelines due to collecting user data even when users specifically block it from doing this?

    And yeah I always wondered why the iPad has never had the Weather app.

    At one time it never had the usual iOS Calculator, Clock (put back in iOS 6), Compass, Stocks & Voice Memos apps either but this could have changed in the last few years.

  • Apple previews Final Cut Pro 10.4 update with 8K timeline alongside new iMac Pro

    Nope. Programmed obsolescence. All-in-one (AIO) computers like iMac are a huge aggression to planet Earth. Computers may last for seven years or less, whereas displays may last for more than 20 years. I am using an Apple Cinema Display 22-inch purchased almost 18 years ago and it works great. And it has been on an average of 15 hours a day, 356 days each year.
    That's the third time I've seen you cut & paste this exact same comment in the last three articles consecutively regarding the iMac Pro! No scratch that...its up to six times now. Do you have a deep-rooted psychological issue with iMac's that you need therapy for?

  • Apple puts 4K Aerial screen saver of Los Angeles skyline into rotation on Apple TV 4K

    Is there any such thing as an Info button or similar so I can get details of where the various screensavers are from and maybe some technical info abut how/what they were filmed on etc? Would really like to know where some of these actually come from...
