  • Microsoft is closing all of its retail stores, permanently

    Apple's integration of hardware, software and services is all the difference here.


    Integration of the shopping experience with the User experience. Apple wants to tell it's own story, for years it was told by others. CompUSA, Circuit City, Best Buy. today Carrier Stores and kiosks. Plugging a camera into a computer, editing music or video on a machine before purchasing. Trying the internet or seeing how MS Office, or for that matter Windows, works on a Mac. Financing a phone separate from a carrier. Buying an unlocked phone. Learning some tips and tricks or getting some help face to face. All of that takes Real People working with Real People. Building that takes real commitment. Something that is not MicroSoft's strong suit.

  • iPhone 7 'Loop Disease' audio chip issue targeted in class action complaint

    Solder joints fracture from bending. Hmm... I didn’t know people were supposed to bend their phones. I’m wondering how many of the “defective” phones were dropped or sat on.

  • No, Apple did not switch to USB-C on its new MacBook Pros to profit from dongle & adapter sales

    "Please take me back to serial, parallel ports and ADB. This new USB connection is a conspiracy by the computer companies to rake us for more money." - Mac Forums in 1996

    One universal connection on a MacBook Pro to drive a 5K display? Transfer data at 40 Gb/s? Power my peripherals? And people complain about also being able to keep their old hardware usable through the use of an adapter. jeez

    As for iPhone to mac does anyone sync with a wire anymore? Wireless syncing has been available since iOS 5 in 2011.

    People need to grow some.
