  • How iPads, iPhones, Macs are used in the special education classroom

     Clearly, devices make it better for teachers and students and provide more options and customization. But frankly, I am not buying the cost savings angle and the article doesn't offer any proof. It also says "after the initial investment ..." Well the initial investment is huge and disregarding it pokes huge holes in the claim of cost savings whether it is taxpayers or parents footing the bill or a combo of that and what about families who can't afford $300-$1000? Schools should put the squeeze or corporations and foundations to pay the devices. After all, the big are taxpayer subsidized anyway.

  • Lufthansa AirTags ban based on incredibly bad regulation interpretation

    Interesting, in three articles I just found, Lufthansa denies they have banned AirTags despite what that tweet says.

  • Apple Maps gets more detailed 3D data for three more countries

    I spend a fair amount of time in Tel Aviv and I must tell you Apple Maps is woefully bad in Tel Aviv. Quite surprising considering its position as the premier tech hub in the Middle East. So much is missing from Apple Maps that I find it mostly unusable there. No transportation information, Many major, long time locations can't be found via search. It is horrible. You would think it was two totally different apps when you compare it to using it in the USA. I try to stay away from Google anything as much as possible. Sadly, Apple forces me to Google Maps.

  • FAANG no more - Facebook finally shifting to META on NASDAQ

    It’s still Zuckerberg and still Facebook.

    Only Zuckerberg and his but kissing board think this will change what they are.

  • Cash-strapped Pegasus spyware developers wanted to sell to 'red-flag' countries

    As Sal Tassio said in The Godfather, “It’s only business.”.
    When NCO started having trouble I predicted they would just go underground and start selling to anyone. Looks like that’s exactly what they want to do. 
    Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you Capitalism in its purest form.
    Just as I told you when you made the exact same post on another Mac oriented website, you screwed up the quote and misattributed it. You don’t look too cool right now. Maybe even foolish. Only someone trying to be your version of cool screws up quotes from one of the most quoted gangster scenes in cinema history.

    First, it's Tessio, not Tassio. Sal Tessio.

    Second, it was said by the Michael Corleone to Sonny Corleone, not by Sal Tessio. Tessio is in the room, but he did not say that. It was said slightly differently three times in that scene. Once by Tom Hagen, once by Sonny Corleone and then the more famous one, that is quoted, by Michael Corleone to Sonny when he questioned Michael about shooting the crooked cop McCluskey.

    Messing up Godfather quotes and misattributing them is a mortal sin. Doing twice via a copy/paste between websites is even more serious. The Godfather would be displeased.
