  • Doom and gloom reporting on Apple Intelligence continues to ignore Apple's playbook

    The “unrealistic expectation” comes from Apple management. It was, and continues to be, unrealistic for them to expect allowing Siri to fall so far off the curve that most loyal Apple users wouldn’t be ready to just give up on it. 

    Now that I’m flooded with Alexa+ that can at handle multiple home automation tasks with ease, why should I wait for Siri just to catch up? 

    Siri is an embarrassment and tarnishes the entire Apple ecosystem.

    Shhhh.... Don't tell the Dotard.  He thinks he just pulled off an amazing deal....
    Yeah, the dotard who conducted the greatest comeback in political history---despite the full force of the US government, media and majority of leftist global powers against him.  I understand why leftists don't like Trump, disagree with him or even hate him.  But I'll never understand how they think he's stupid.  

    The full force of the US government? They rolled over like a horse in labor and let him walk scot free of all of his crimes. Neither you nor I would have been afforded immunity from the Supreme Court nor not being sentenced for our convictions.

  • A clever hack fixes the new Mac mini power button's awkward location

    I've owned an early 2023 Mac Mini M2 since March 2023. I have touched the power button on the back exactly one time. When I first turned it on.

  • Meta needs other companies & developers to challenge Apple Vision Pro

    This will end well, *not*! Let's give up control of an enclosed ecosystem to provide a "better" customer experience?

  • US DOJ attacks nearly every aspect of Apple's business in massive antitrust suit

    If you're as pissed off about this mindless and wildly expensive lawsuit as you should be--the DOJ will spend tens if not hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars to try and force an Android-style open ecosystem down your throat and thereby lessen consumer choice--then don't just rant into the void here. At least email Merrick Garland here: https://www.justice.gov/doj/webform/your-message-department-justice  And if your state is on the list of those that have joined the suit, copy and paste that same email to your state's AG, and let your Congressional and Senate representatives know, too. 
    Agreed and filed my complaint!
    ------------------------------------

    Your message to the Department of Justice:

    Dear Merrick Garland and the rest of the DOJ staff,

    Your lawsuit against Apple is completely misguided and absolutely NOT in the best interest of consumers. Apple provides the best in class smart phones with best in class ecosystem. I don't find either to be excessively expensive and the range of options of apps is completely satisfying. I feel absolutely zero need for you to legislate my experience.

    For any application segment, I have a myriad of choices from both Apple and other companies. Take for instance your claims that Apple has sealed off messaging apps. What about WhatsApp? It's universally available on all smartphones including iPhones.

    There is not a single point of your lawsuit that I feel is valid or fair. In fact, I hold Apple as the most esteemed company we have in America. They build absolutely brilliant technology at affordable price points.

    Pease go take your nonsense elsewhere.

    Mostly Disrespectfully Yours,
