  • Research data suggests Apple iPhone marketshare dropping beyond seasonal averages

    I refuse to buy a new iPhone until it is both larger and smaller than my 6S. It must charge using mind control, and the battery must provide 7 days of heavy use while underwater. It must run the full desktop version of Photoshop, support a USB mouse, and project VR directly into my retinas. Oh, and the Plus version needs to write all my Yelp reviews for me while I eat. Am I missing anything?

  • Users upset by Evernote price hikes & two-device limit for free Basic customers

    Did Evernote pro for years, been trying Office365 with OneNote - but by now, both Evernote and OneNote feel ridiculously "heavy" for the simple tasks I want them to do (especially OneNote - good lord!). Switched it all to Apple Notes, works really really well.

  • iCloud Music Library outage triggers error messages, disappearing libraries for Apple Music users

    My library is small - only about 27,000 tracks at 150GB - but I have had no problems with ICML at all. Using iTunes Match and Apple Music, and so have a mix of different sources including concerts and my own originals. Everything syncs perfectly between 5 devices, whether the source is from Apple Music, iTunes Store, a recorded rehearsal or a ripped CD. I've had 2 instances of bad album artwork in a year, that's it. My spouse and grown daughters share a family plan with me, and so of course everyone has their own ID to keep things separate - and AM is working fine for them as well. I am their tech support, I should know. One does need to keep track of and staying logged in to iCloud, but that's pretty easy. It's working as advertised for some of us, at least.

  • Dead Apple employee identified as 25-year-old software engineer, report says [u]

    When I got my engineering degree from a highly regarded technical school (a while back!), the undergraduate suicide rate was the highest in the U.S. Many students suffered from a toxic blend of family pressure, steep competition, and alarmingly low social skills and emotional development - a result of the self-selection that occurs in places like that. While technically capable, they were poorly prepared to deal with the human side of the equation, and came unglued went things went badly. They were some of the loneliest people I ever met.
