  • Apple engineers allegedly testing AI-generated language features

    Goodness, I hope they do something, because Siri sucks in it's current form.  Half the time or more it just does a glorified Google search or your question and tells you to look at your web page.   Not very convenient when you are multi-tasking.   I want a computer "assistant" that is working on being more like the computer on a Star Ship, not a Google assistant.  ;-)

  • Ikea has a new Matter-enabled indoor air quality monitor

    Looks interesting. Unfortunately, I have found that Ikea has about the worst customer service I've ever experienced when it comes to technical products.   Really hope they can get their act together.

  • White House calls Apple and Google 'harmful' in bid to cut app store fees

    What right does the Government have to regulate what a private company charges?

    I can see compelling Apple to allow third party "Stores", but it should be completely up to the consumer as to whether they 

    want to utilize such third parties.  I believe Apple's model has served consumers well.  In exchange for the fees they have 

    kept all kinds of smut and damaging applications off the iOS platform.

    I ordered a Mac 128 about three weeks after the initial release, along with the color printer. Later upgraded that machine to the 512K motherboard, and when available, added the external floppy drive, all of which made the Mac much more usable.

    After 35 years, I still see the same basic interface that I saw the first time that I turned on that 128k Mac, albeit much refined and performant today.

    The only other exciting machine of that time was the Amiga, though I never considered it was a variety of reasons.
     



    I purchased mine within a few weeks of the release.  I don't remember a color printer being available?  I got the B&W Dot Matrix ImageWriter.   It was only a B&W computer.  

    The Amiga was in many ways superior.  I sold both in  a retail store for awhile.  I was super envious of the Amiga's color screen and expandability.   So, when the Mac II came out, we finally had relative parity.  These were fun days in the computer world for sure.
