  • Siri is reborn in iOS 18 -- everything Apple's voice assistant will be able to do

    AI, as it currently is, is not artificial intelligence.  It is just the next level of processing.  Calling it AI is a great sales’ pitch, though.

  • How to make the most of the iOS Calculator

    The equation above gives a correct answer of 9: 1+2 (=3) *3 = 9.  If you want an answer of 7, it should be stated as 1+ (2*3).  In common usage is wanting to know the percentage of a number. As an example, what is 20% of 100? If you do this on a normal calculator, you would key 20, divide, 100, percent.  On a normal calculator this process gives the correct answer of 20, if you do it on iOS it gives the answer of 1.

    This is because most normal calculators use geometric progression whereas iOS uses arithmetic progression.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    Is a Dad really likely to play with his children or are you likely to be in a meeting wearing a huge headset?  Obviously, fantastic technology.  Will it catch on? 3D TV didn’t because people don’t want to watch telly with a headset on.

  • Five Apple TV+ shows premiering Jan. 27 get new trailers

    I’m hoping the new series will be worth watching. I know it is question of taste but I have recently watched The Mosquito Coast Series 2 and Echo 3.  In the case of the former, there was no story for the whole of the first series. It appears someone spotted this and threw a story in which was revealed in Episode 1 of Series 2. Other than that and allowing that to was well made, it was just nonsense.  As to Echo 3, I stuck with it on the basis of waiting for something to happen which made any sense.  It was seven episodes too long and was just ridiculous.  It portrayed two US guys as well-meaning mass murderers and everyone else as completely useless cannon-fodder. It was a truly appalling display of the supposed greatness of the US and its propensity for mass killing and destruction for no discernible reason.  Presumably, this was the point being made but if it was, it was very badly done. A complete disgrace.
