  • Apple announces April 20 special event - iPad Pro, AirTags expected

    Did they finally figure out how to attach a logo to email? - Like every 2-bit coder on the planet has for 30 years. 
    Maybe they finally figured out how to calculate the life of a battery / charge! - Like every other company on the planet has for decades. 

    Would be nice if they caught up to every other company on the planet and became relevant again.

  • Apple launched its revolutionary OS X 21 years ago

    Wish they would go back to snow leopard for a few things that just worked better (file structure). It was probably Apples best OS release to date as far as stability. 

    There was an app/extension in OS 9 called Kaleidoscope that let you install themes to change your OS appearance. Some of those are still light years ahead of what we have now. I really miss that program.

  • MacBook Butterfly keyboard lawsuit granted class-action status

    No matter how much R&D and beta testing are done, no product is problem-proof once millions start using it "in the field." The real question is how a company responds to those problems. I've been using Apple computers since 1992 and have had two products with issues during that time: my 2009 iMac and my 2015 MacBook 12'. The iMac developed screen splotches (which were an issue on that model) quite a while after my AppleCare had expired. Apple replaced the whole screen anyway, free of charge. Then the hard drives in that iMac began showing signs of early failure. Again, I was long out of AppleCare by that time, and even though my HD was still problem-free, Apple again replaced it at no charge. With my MacBook 12", I started having a sticky keys issue with the butterfly keyboard about 6 months after AppleCare expired, but Apple still replaced the whole bottom case of my MacBook at no charge. 

    Bottom line: when Apple does discover an issue once a product is out to consumers, they've always done right by me in terms of fixing it at no cost. 
    Bottom line is - the Apple you speak of no-longer exists. 
    Now Apple releases products with known problems and ignores it's customers. It denies denies denies until a class action is filed - and then it rolls out some BS program as a PR move and judgement appeasement. 
    1 hour out of AppleCare and you are SOL.

  • Apple discontinues full-size HomePod, to focus on HomePod mini

    It was an average product that didn’t excel at anything. I’m guessing 99% of those who thought it was great sounding have never set foot in a hifi shop or listened to anything else. It may have been a step up for a few folks here - but It was far from premium. Far. 

    Let’s face the facts - Apple got greedy and only allowed this thing to really work with Apple Music. They walled themselves in and nobody bought it. If they leave it proprietary for the HP Mini - nobody is going to buy that either. They won’t even be able to give them away for free. 

    With the new Sonos eating Apples lunch in every way - this decision just made sense.

  • New tool allows users to transfer iCloud Photos content to Google Photos

    Trash company can't even figure out how to add an image to email signatures - while every 2bit developer in the world can and has for a decade now. 
    Who cares about more useless features in photos.
