  • Apple's iMac predicted to overtake HP and lead the All-in-One market

    For comparison HP All-in-one computers start at $600, the cheapest iMac is $1300.
    Of the 9 All-in-one computers from HP, more than half are under the $1,300 price point.

    I dare say the revenue in this category is vastly different between the two companies.
    Here is the $600 HP all in one.



    Intel i3.......Hmmmm OK!
    DVD Writer .........   :D
    Full HD (1920x1080) ......... 'nuff said.

    I'm sure it has its market somewhere but we can easily why it costs that little.

  • Apple's Lisa Jackson says a green economy is better for the planet and business

    I just saw last night, the latest AppleTV+ documentary “The year earth changed” and it really puts it in perspective how much human activity interferes with everything. 

    As for Mr. “my F350 is an extension of you know my what..... “, he just went on my ignore list.

  • iPhone not migrating to USB-C or getting Touch ID on power button any time soon



    Kuo understands that there are technical issues around waterproofing, but says he believes there are market pressures involved. Specifically, Apple's Made for iPhone (MFi) programme is a profitable business that would be affected.


    I have a very hard time believing this part.  Below is Apple's revenue breakdown by product. Cable and other accessories are only a small part of the Wearables, home and accessories category in red. Let's not forget that this same category also includes Apple watch, HomePods, AirPods, AppleTV's, iPhone/iPad cases etc.
    So that MFi program is probably just a fraction of that and overall would represent nothing but a rounding error. 

    My source for the graph below is from https://www.statista.com/statistics/382260/segments-share-revenue-of-apple/. ;

  • Apple debuts new MacBook Air with Apple Silicon M1 chip

    The only disappointment to me is the maximum RAM is only 16GB and to me that should be the base amount of RAM.
    My 6 year old MBP has 32GB RAM so I won’t be upgarding it yet. Sigh.
    Huh??? There's no way that a 6 year old MacBook Pro ever had 32 GB of RAM. I have the 2015 15" MBP with Graphics card and the most I could've had at that time is 16 GB.

    Calories per minute have a lot variety 
    persons age, gender, weight, resting heart rate, all play a role

    It also breaks down in how much weight a person should lose per week. I originally learned 2 lbs a week is safe, now Ive gone to 1% per week

    300lbs 3lbs per week
    115 1.15 per week

    only thing I hate about the watch is the damn challenges. It’s trying to kill me.

    My February challenge is burn 33,000 calories during the month of February. I’m tired

    16,544 of 33,000 completed. 


    Counting calories or stepping onto a scale are the worst ways of measuring one’s fitness levels. 
    The watch may help the sedentary types to get up and move a bit but will soon plateau if every thing else remains the same in their lifestyle. 

    General rules for everyone should be 
    1) Cut down on processed foods (saturated fats and sugar)
    2) No soda drinks even the ones labeled “diet”
    3) Exercise intelligently (3-4 days a week for 1 hr max per training session of interval and/or cross training)
    4) Moderate your alcohol intake

    No. 3 in particular will introduce your body to the after burn effect where you are essentially using fat reserves to rebuild your muscles. You will continue to burn fat for up to 48 hrs after the training session.
