  • Apple Watch takes 71 percent share of teen market, iPhone remains strong, study says

    levi said:
    So parents are buying their spoiled teenagers an Apple Watch.  How nice.  They lose their phones and break them constantly, so I wonder if this is even true.  I have never seen a teenager wear an Apple Watch, and I have only seen a handful of people wearing one around Los Angeles...and it has been a year since the thing got released.  Best part is the small amount of people wearing an Apple Watch are using their iPhone instead!  Their biggest complaint is how slow it is.  Take a look around, no one wears a smart watch because people are smart enough to realize they do not need a device duplicated by a phone.
    Well for what's worth, I see them frequently - several times daily in SF Bay Area. Also find mine to be indispensable. Look forward to even better versions to come.
    Completely agree. Just before I came across this article I was mentioning to my wife how much I love my  Watch. During my daily routine, when I am out and about, and especially at work I use it constantly, rarely checking my iPhone for anything. Obviously I still use my iPhone a ton when the bigger screen is required, but for quick glances at info and simple tasks it doesn't get any easier. What I've begun enjoying particularly is using it with the Apple Wallet for scanning my Scene card at the movies, Indigo and Shopper's, and seeing the look on the cashiers' faces when it works. "Whoah, that is really cool!" Really looking forward to what's next as well.

  • Ford says Apple and Google are 'welcome' to join automotive arena

    Ford's actually pretty far ahead in the tech game, and they have some of the best engineers in the world. They just managed to pull off a complete swap to building F-150's out of aluminium in a year, which is no mean feat. 
    FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily....psss. Not a fan of any of their design. In fact, their bread and butter model Taurus got horrendous designs over the years. If I'm in the market for American cars (well, I won't...), Chevy is my choice. 

    Well, I couldn't disagree with you more. I love my First On Race Day truck (which I might argue is actually their bread and butter). But, that's the thing with opinions; everybody's got one. I respect your opinion, but I just disagree with it. 

    What I'm hoping is that Ford switches their alleged "partnership" with Google and begins working more closely with Apple, but well... I can always dream, right?

  • VLC comes to Apple TV with wide format support, 'Remote Playback' feature

    Will check this out. Currently using Infuse (and pleasantly surprised how nice it is, though it has some ways to go to be indispensable) since there is no Kodi (haven't yet checked out MrMC - should look at that one too). What are people's favourites here (other than the stock Apple app)?
    I am absolutely LOVING Infuse. What a lifesaver!
