  • Editorial: Apple's impact from social distancing in 2020

    Thank you very much for yet another interesting and brilliantly written article 👍🏼

    Amazingly, “debunking” of the mainstream media narrative continues to be relevant, which feels a little bizarre!
    One has to believe that we, as society, will learn from our mistakes and behave accordingly—after all, we get the politicians and public service media we deserve 👀
    As long as enough of us are clicking on websites of questionable validity, we can avoid any change—which all of us dreads because of the associated and never ending demands of decisions—sometimes even consciously forming an opinion 👀
    It’s way easier to angry!

    Imagine, that COVID-19 was a computer virus which rendered all of our smart devices (Macs, Win, iOS, Android etc.) sick and thus necessitated a two week treatment!
    —terrifying, indeed.
    But maybe something interesting could be gained if we suddenly were left—well, to our own devices?
    I suspect that we would find it difficult to maintain our anger and anxiety, in the absence of the “ready-made-meals” from our favorite bloggers!

  • Why did Apple buy up another $20B in stock at record highs?

    Of all the problems that analysts invent for Apple, the most challenging thing the company faces is actually how to responsibly spend all of the money it is generating from leading the development of the world's consumer technology.
    ... I suspect this makes the board meetings at  quite tense...  :# ;)

  • Apple gets FCC approval for Mac Pro tower, and rack-mount version

    MacPro said:
    Definitely going to get a dozen rack mounted ones and run them in parallel.  ;)
    Get the wheel mounted option—then you can run them in true parallel... (no software needed 👀)

  • Apple just released iPadOS 13.1 - here's what features to look for

    I updated to iPadOS this morning and it keeps asking me to update Apple ID Settings. I enter my iCloud password and it goes away and pops back up again in the settings app 30 seconds later. I probably have entered my password a dozen times now. Anyone have this issue? It's pretty annoying. 
    I had this problem earlier in the beta testing.
    Logging out of iCloud, restart device and then login to iCloud, solved the problem :-)

  • Editorial: Apple's Q319 earnings destroy a mountain of fake data and false reporting

    "we continue to see phenomenal demand for AirPods, and when you tally up the last four quarters, our Wearables business is now bigger than 60% of the companies in the Fortune 500."


    Hats off to all employees at Dell, Samsung and the rest of the tech-industry for staying motivated and performing their duties all day long, year-after-year, when the companies they work for are being embarrassed to no end by Apple and their highly successful way of executing product-design and manufacturing. It’s not like Apple is extraterrestrial or something—they have iPhones,  Watch etc. and the corresponding Android products are not that different—it seems like a fair fight. Yet it isn’t, because there are real differences between the products which translates into distinctly different user-experiences. 
    I truly cannot comprehend how executives and managers involved with strategic decisions in Apple-rivaling companies (an oxymoron, perhaps...?), are able to fully commit to their new product with true belief in the claimed performance and predicted impact on the market—without feeling a little uneasy or outright thinking “why bother?“
