    In other news,Robocallers plan to implement new technology measures to circumvent STIR/SHAKEN in early 2020.

    I would simply like an option to have all calls go to VM unless the caller is in my contacts. And if no VM is left, that call is deleted and blocked. How hard can that be?
    I want those that call and do not leave a message to be blocked automatically and added to a shared list.

  • Apple COO Jeff Williams 'aware' of iPhone, Mac price concerns

    It’s always the same story. Our puny minds can’t comprehend the expenses Apple has. Well, every company has expenses that are not materials cost. Is that really the customer’s burden to bear? I think what customers want is for some of that past R&D to start to amortize, and result in stable product lines. This unpredictable continuous rise in prices for no compelling reason has everyone concerned. 

    Meanwhile, our puny minds can comprehend the balance sheet, and profit is obscene. The same old story doesn’t fly. 

    Dont get get me wrong I think it’s perfectly fine for Apple to have a wide line of iPhone, but they’ve pushed the envelope on what a flagship model can cost and they’re not doing anything they weren’t doing 5 years ago when a flagship iPhone was $650. 
    It’s kind of like when a car dealer tries to add a service fee for advertising.
    Yeah, but it's the same problem for all industries. Have you ever noticed that every time someone farts in the middle east, gas stations are out there changing the sign ten minutes later? Didn't they already buy that gas in the ground? Maybe I don't understand the oil to the gas pump expense, but it happens. Every year it's the same story, faster processor, better camera, and we lemmings go out and get one. This made sense when they first came out cause every phone was miles above the previous one. No so much anymore. I managed to wait from the 6 to the xs, four years. I'll probably do the same this time. that's two phones in 8 years instead of 6 phones in 6 years. Vote with your wallet.

    I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think Apple raises pigs.

  • Kanye West wants Apple to buy Tidal, calls for executive meeting

    Or, Apple could, you know, let Tidal Die and not pay one cent.

    This means for the first time there is an aluminum unibody that is not getting the latest software. My late 2008 aluminum unibody MacBook didn't make the cut. It's a shame too since it runs fast with the SSD I installed. 
    This is a bummer - My 2008 MacPro is going strong - fully loaded - Updated video etc. I was hoping to get a few more upgrades out of it. So now Im wondering if I upgrade the processors from the 2.8 ghz to the 3.2 if it would work since Apple didn't lock the machine to processors?
