  • Samsung's Studio Display rival finally coming in August

    thedbathedba
    First off let's not compare a standard matte display with the nano textured display that Apple offers.
    The latter is far superior as far as image quality is concerned. 
    If all you do is browse the web and do office work, then you should not consider Apple's offerings if on a budget. It's overkill for those use cases. 

    I do however agree that Apple's adjustable stands are a very hard pill to swallow. It probably is an excellent stand when compared to the wobbly alternatives of the competition. However, is accidentally bumping your desk and not having your screen wobble, worth the extra $400?    For everyone to decide individually I guess.

  • Apple TV+ tech problems disrupt Lionel Messi's MLS debut

    First off, all Apple has are the rebroadcasting rights. I don't think Apple has created its own teams of cameramen, studios, trucks etc. 
    While they are going to be blamed for this, I think technically the problems lie elsewhere.

    @Jgreg728 How has Apple been f-ing up the TV business? 
    Their catalog is growing and many of the shows are good quality.

    The 27” iMac was a great machine. Main problem is that every CPU upgrade means tossing a very good monitor. 
    That's the very nature of all in ones and laptops.

    I love to see a new 27 inch or bigger iMac Pro. The Mac Studio is out of my budget:
    The iMac Pro base model cost $4999.
    Today's Mac Studio base model costs $1999, throw in a 27" Studio display for $1599 = $3598. Add to that Keyboard and mouse and track pad and you are still under the "starts at" price of the old iMac Pro.  And we still haven't adjusted prices for inflation.

  • Apple TV+ wants to stream Germany's top football league

    The Bundesliga? The most boring football league in all of Europe? Unless Apple plans to use its financial might and global footprint to restructure it to make it more interesting, no one will tune in. Premier League is the only truly competitive league. 

    Hahahaha!!! Premier League of Britain is just as boring.  They need to get fights into soccer and red cards flying.  NHL made overtime three on three.  Oilers would kill it with McDavid and Draisitle.  55 seconds.  Fifa should make second half 4 men plus Goalkeeper on 4 men plus Goalkeeper.  Same field.  Real skill.  Did I mention that the under 15 Boys (14 year old Boys) beat the national female American team 5-2!!!!!!!!  Don't blame me, I had no part in it.


    So you want to make soccer look like hockey? I think that there a few billion people around the world, far more than there are hockey fans, that would disagree with you. 
    I do agree however that some rules need amending. My examples below involve penalty kicks and are strictly my opinion.
    01) Attacker that was fouled in the box or whose shot caused the penalty, takes it. If said attacker is injured, then his replacement from the bench takes it. Penalties should not be a way of padding the statistics of a team’s top scorer.
    02) Once the penalty has been struck, the ball is dead. The goaltender is already at a disadvantage, no need to add to that with a rebounding ball falling at the feet of an attacker for an easy goal. Also removes grey areas of encroachment before the ball is struck.
    03) One fluid motion by penalty kicker. Again goalie is already limited by the rules. Penalty taker should also have limits on what they can do. Take one shot within a clearly defined time limit after ref’s whistle (say 7 seconds). Ball is in the net or it’s not.

    As for your final comment, I have no idea how it’s relevant to the OP’s statement. If anything it makes you sound like your disparaging women’s sport, sexist.
