  • Hands On: Microsoft OneNote is powerful, but needs Office to shine

    Hands-on: OneNote is deliberately restricted and does not interface with Word, or anything else. And considering Notes and Pages are FREE, and work with everything, why bother?

  • Apple lobbies against 'right to repair' proposal in Nebraska

    There once was a country,
    That never could see,
    the value of law,
    or education,
    nor integrity. 

    It was discovered once,
    that bullying and dumce
    could be applied universally,
    and would only cost
    the land of the free.

  • Apple an 'antifragile monopoly,' more secure than critics believe, analyst claims

    In other news, erstwhile benchmark of journalistic integrity blogsite, The Verge, has just announced an all-out campaign to discredit Apple, and is lobbying to have the company broken up due to its vast monopoly of profits and customer satisfaction in the tech industry. 

    Gainimg popular support by every company and blogger site impacted by Apple's ruthless product development with the highest standards of engineering and design, Microsoft and Google in particular have remeained conspicuously silent, as their repective monopolies of desktop software and paid search could be next, despite repeatedly being fined for anti-competitive practices. 

    CEO's of former tech leaders, such RIM and Palm, have alternatively made random statements about 'fairness' and 'justice'. Meanwhile, TUSA's president has released a florish of emotional, irrational and inappropriate tweets that may, or may not, have been related to the topic of monopolies. 

    Unusually for popular media, however, major US news sources have begun discrediting ridiculous analysts as being inherently without merit based in their history of being paid to create surveys paid for by parties with vested interests.

    At the time of this writing, Apple, naturally, is continuing to reinvest its profits into technological developments, proving that as a capitalist, consumerist entity is perfectly capable of supporting society with not only jobs but in contributing to standards of living and the overall health of society through transparent competitive practices.

  • Google's second-gen Pixel due in 2017, will tackle Apple iPhone in 'premium' segment

    Google only really did one thing interesting with the Pixel. They added inline hardware encryption, no doubt to improve performance with encryption enabled. To my knowledge, it's the only Android vendor to have ever done so.

    Finally caught up with the iPhone 3GS.
    Haha - ya! iPh3GS functionality with iPh6 specs. It should only be another eight years before they match iPh5S as a whole unit. ;) I cannot believe Goog is just so stupid.

  • Google's second-gen Pixel due in 2017, will tackle Apple iPhone in 'premium' segment

    In other news, Goog has announced plans to rehash its failure Pixel Phone concept to instead borrow heavily from Apple's iPhone 6S, a huge increment in specs compared to last year's hopeful rehash of 2014's iPhone 6. Techbloggers the world over have jumped at the chance to generate a spike in page clicks, allowing them to pay the rent for a few more weeks. Although all gPhones permanently have 'beta' stamped on them, and pundits use any gProduct to bad-mouth the company which is the benchmark in innovation, customer satisfaction, product quality, and usability, Apple is pushing ahead with reality-altering hardware-software devices which simply beg to be touched, used, and displayed. With no comparable services, such as Apple Pay, Continuity, basic security and privacy, nor the demonstrated ability to release a product that reaches above 1% of market share - naturally with no profitability whatsoever - it has been said that the thirteenth attempt at the gPhone will be 'a huge success' that will be 'a million times better than anything Apple currently has' (commenter chose to remain anonymous). Notably, almost no-one of any significance has pointed out the flaws in Goog's black roadmap, transparency, lack of customer services, or hardware profitability. Let's hope gPh13 is a hit, folks!
