  • Users of Microsoft's 'free' Windows 10 find unexpected ads on lock screen

    To be fair, Microsoft did say this was going to be done even before the first betas of 10 came out. So the only people who didn't know are those who have paid no attention at all in the year plus, since it was announced.

    And for these who say that Apple has had a free OS for years, without Ads, again, to be fair, Apple charges for the OS in the price of the computer, which is, after all, an Apple product. Microsoft has nothing comparable other than their tablets. They need to make money of the software, and giving Windows away for free has cost them billions in sales and income.
    There perhaps another view. MS made such a mess with Windows 8 that the only way of overcoming the resistance to the next Windows upgrade was to give Windows 10 away. For me Windows 8 was the final straw. I moved to Apple which has mostly been a much happier experience.

  • iOS 9.2.1 makes speed boosts for users with Apple's older iPhone 4s and 5

    It looks like Apple are helping to reduce global warming with iOS 9.2.1. The temperature shown for Cupertino is 52 F under iOS 8.4.1 and 48 F under 9.2.1 /s

  • Catcher, other Apple suppliers report setbacks rumored to be linked to iPhone 6s production cuts

    More smoke to the fire. Its time for us Apple fans to realize that March and June quarter will show iPhone unit sales declines YoY. The only thing that can boost iPhone unit sales the next 2 quarters is if the 4 inch phone becomes a big hit and a ton of 4/5 series users were really waiting for it. 

    This news pretty much puts a lock that we see $80 share price in a few months or sooner. Could happen as soon as January 26th earnings call. If Apple guidance for revenue decline for March quarter things could get really ugly. I'd sell some shares now at $100 or gather some capital for the inevitable drop to $80. Long term I see Apple reach $125 by end of year and $140 if 7s shows unit growth. 


    Do we know for a fact that these suppliers are being used for the 6S? If you're right I'm not what the iPhone 7 is going to bring to the party. Are people really not buying the 6S because aesthetically it looks just like the 6? Same thing with this rumored 4" phone. Are there that many people who didn't want a larger phone? And are they willing to buy an inferior phone (there's no indication this phone will have all the flagship features of the 6S) just because it's 4"? Again, if all this is true then IMO it means iPhone peaked with the 6 and Apple needs something else to pick up the slack.
    I don't want a bigger phone nor do l want some of the latest 6S things.  I would be happy to purchase  an improved 4 inch iPhone to replace my 5.  My key requirements are ApplePay, more than 16 gb of storage and a price lower than a 4.7 inch 6S. I actually believe there are a significant number of customers who don't want bigger phones. We will only know for sure once a replacement of the 5S is released.

  • New Year's partygoers wearing Apple Watch will have 'most accurate watch in the room'

    I have been wondering about Apple Watch time. I have a "radio controlled" clock that uses an atomic time signal sent via radio waves to keep it correct, I use the "pips" on BBC Radio 4 that mark the hour and now I have my Apple Watch. None of them have the hour at exactly the same time. I have not been able to properly work out the differences accurately yet but I think its about 5-10 seconds between first and last. Does anyone know why radio waves for the BBC Radio and the atomic controlled clock appear to have a different time to the internet+WiFi used by the Apple Watch?
