  • Apple TV sales surge with hardware refresh, but still rank 4th in US streaming device market

    I'm worried that most of Apple's R&D spending is being spent on Project Titan. They really need to spend more on its current product lines, such as the Apple TV, before spending on new business lines.

  • Apple's mysterious WWDC 2016 announcement: What does it mean?

    It means that the next gen Apple Watch will be announced. Included in the watch will be a new sensor that could measure humidity. It's software will use that data to warn you of "rain in five minutes".

  • New iPhone 7 case rumor depicts thinner body, nearly flush camera

    More idiotic regressions from Apple. This "thinner" mania has rendered its products nearly useless. Oh, unless you want to bury your "thin, elegant" iPhone in a bulky, tacky battery case. When Apple itself has to introduced a humpbacked silicone sarcophagus to make its own phone useful, you have utter design failure. And that's what the pompous hack Jony Ive brings to the table: no advancement, but rather regressions that cripple Apple's products to the point of uselessness. NO HEADPHONE JACK? You have to be kidding. Nobody but NOBODY should vote for that stupidity with their money. It's as if Apple can't learn. Remember the disastrous Shuffle that had no controls and required special headphones with a button in their cord and a gimped Morse code to control the thing? Even Apple yanked it off the market and replaced it with the previous design. Then there's the idiotic MacBook that has only one port: an outdated USB port. It doesn't even utilize the modern and extremely versatile Thunderbolt port, which Apple championed! Instead, you get a computer that you can't charge while using peripherals, and has no video output for TVs, projectors, or external monitors. Apple is done. Consumers: Send a message. Don't buy stupidity.
    In a world where everything is going wireless, including an archaic feature that compromises its design is "stupid". I'm sure they will make lightning adapters for those who absolutely must have a tethered earphone.
