  • Up close and hands on with Apple Vision Pro at Apple Park

    I find it interesting that they announced a product that won’t be available for nine months at least. More importantly it won’t be released until after the Fall product announcements. Why didn’t they wait until then to announce it? Was it all the buzz going around? Or just wanting to get people excited so they won’t look at what others come up with between now and then?

  • Apple will not buy Disney, no matter how often it hears that it will

    Screw Disney. Apple should buy Congress. Oh wait a minute…they already do. And they're not alone.
    How can you say that? It’s completely untrue!         They only rent it.

  • iOS 17 could introduce updated Control Center, says leaker

    Sounds like some good changes/additions, but I wish they'd bring back the simple ability to actually turn WiFi & Bluetooth on/off.

    I agree. I can never turn on the Wi-Fi connection from Control Center. Even doing it from Settings takes 10 to 15 seconds every time.

  • Tim Cook wants Apple to buy Manchester United soccer team

    To address a point from Xed:
    (Well, two. I never said Tim was like Elon. I said just the opposite.) 

    But more importantly,
    ”Additionally, they are in need of a new stadium. If Apple gets their team(s) designing a stadium it very well cold become as iconic as its stores—perhaps to the point that you and I might go to see if we're ever in Manchester.”

    A clarification seems to be needed. Apple designers are amazing product designers but they’re not architects. The two fields are very different. Jony Ive did not design the new Apple headquarters, the architect Norman Foster did. Steve Jobs did not design the Cube on 5th Avenue in NY, that was the architectural firm of Bolin, Cywinski, Jackson.  Steve Jobs didn’t design the stair in the first Apple office building, that was the work of the architect I.M. Pei. Just to dispel some rumors I’ve heard over and over. Apple designers have not designed any Apple stores.
