  • Apple still wants 2023 iPhone periscope camera, just not from Samsung

    I wish Apple would come out with, or partner with someone, to produce a minimalist, mirrorless camera that uses an iOS product (iPhone, iPad) as the viewfinder and image analyzer. I don’t think I’m alone in wanting super high quality pictures without having to watch 100 hours of YouTube tutorials and carrying around a clunky DSLR.

  • Definitely not-CGI 'Ted Lasso' actor says he is a 'normal human man'

    I hope this is just a cheesy marketing ploy. That would be slightly less annoying than people being stupid enough to think he's a CGI character. Either way, one more notch in the 'humanity is doomed' column.

  • #AppleToo receives nearly 500 stories of workplace issues in four days

    I was wondering if there are any legitimate reports of bad things happening, but seems like the usual victim card narcissism. Sad, if a bad apple does end up slipping through Apple’s hiring process and actually abuses someone, it’s more likely to get lost in the noise or not taken seriously now.

  • iPad with titanium chassis reportedly on the horizon

    It makes sense that a sturdier material will be needed if they move to a glass back as rumored. Hopefully they can also make them thinner. It's such a cool experience to have something so functional in such small and thin package, and it's something only apple can really pull off.

  • Apple changes Eddy Cue's job title to focus on the company's services

    Every swinging dick in tech blog forums think they know how to run Apple better.

    Lol. Ok, Eddie. So, no one is allowed to point out the hugely squandered lead in voice assistants, or the bumbled maps roll out, or the bumbled foray into casual gaming on the Apple TV, or the incredibly slow homekit roll out, or all the problems the mail app had for years, or the fact that the social capabilities of apple's most social app (music) are almost nonexistant, or that Phil had to take over the app store, or squandering apple's lead in podcasts with incredibly slow feature rollout (they're even called podcasts!), or the fact that the photos app couldn't search for text in images until 2021.. on and on..? That's good to know. I won't bring that stuff up then.
