  • Apple hit with another lawsuit claiming iTunes music piracy

    fred1fred1
    “The plaintiffs in the lawsuit together wrote hundreds of popular songs and jazz standards, including "Over the Rainbow" by Harold Arlen, "I Only Have Eyes for You" by Harry Warren, and "It All Depends on You" by Ray Henderson.“

    These composers do deserve a lot of credit, and maybe even compensation, if they can be plaintiffs in a lawsuit when they’ve been dead for 30 or 40 years!

    How to Force an AirPods Firmware Update

    If you find that a new version of the AirPods firmware is available, but not yet installed, you can try forcing your AirPods to update.

    To do so, put your AirPods into their Charging Case, start charging the case, and place it near your iPhone. Next, open the cover and then dismiss the on-screen battery display.


    Thanks.  I did what you said, waited another 45 minutes, and . .  . success.  Not sure what I gained, but at least I'm up to date.

  • AirPods Pro versus Jabra Elite 75t -- Which is the best wireless earbud?

    fred1fred1
    Yet another comparison of the AirPods Pro with . . . something else that claims that they’re comparable. But the something else doesn’t have active noise cancellation!  Then the two units are not the same and shouldn’t be compared, at least in my mind. ANC is the main reason I got the AirPods Pro and is their most important feature, among many other great ones. Another great feature of the APsP is the way the music or movie pauses when you take one out of your ear. Why isn’t this mentioned?

  • Jony Ive's departure follows years of dissatisfaction and absenteeism

    fred1fred1
    Jony Ive designed Apple Park? That bit of news is going to come as a big surprise to Norman Foster and his firm, who actually designed it. Jony may have had input, but I don’t see Lord Norman being one to listen well to others. When are people going to start giving credit where credit is due, and not where it isn’t? 
    It’s the same with the Apple Store on Park Avenue, New York. Steve Jobs did not design this! It was the firm of Bohlin, Cywinski, Jackson. 
    Get your facts straight people!

    List of countries which support ECG app doesn’t seem to have changed since the March update added most European countries...
    https://www.apple.com/watchos/feature-availability/#apps-ecg
    It’s an additional 5 countries: https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2019/05/14/watchos-ecg/
    Not many, unless you live in one of them.  I wasn’t considering the Watch 4 until March when my country was included. I would have gotten the 3 and spent less.
