    Yes the GG searchlight is being projected on a building in Gotham City right now.

    Soon we will know that Alphabet would never ever sell our data to anyone (but they will use it internally to seek advantage over their competitors).
    My iTunes keeps nagging (and stopping playlists) to reconnect to the iTunes Store even though the Store preference is off...?

    Apple Support confirmed there is no way to turn this off other than staying 'tethered' to Apple...?

  • iPod Shuffle, cabled EarPods drafted in retro tech revival

    ...as the shuffle can hold lossless music is it still valid especially for workouts...?  No tracking either...

    At this price it might make more sense to buy an iMac and a LunaDisplay. Apple need to release a monitor that is priced less than an iMac. 
    Totally agree. Talking to a neighbor who uses a 2010 MacPro with a nice monitor for that time and I gave him a spec comparison to the 2020 Mac mini and it blows his Mac Pro away. I could see myself moving to the next generation Mac mini as long as I could get a quality display that doesn’t, as you say, cost as much as a current 24” iMac. He’s waiting for this model as well. The base iMac is $1299 so why should a stand-alone 24” display cost more? It should include extra ports as well for this price. 
    Wait as long as you like. Not going to happen. Current monitors that cost less than an iMac are not all that good. An Apple monitor for $1299? No way.
    Wasn’t the 2.5K Thunderbolt Display $999?
    It was, and I still enjoy mine...

    A 4K USBC upgrade would be enough for me. Is 5K Apple's 'bag of hurt'...?
    I wish I felt like Apple was now being governed by enthusiasts vs money men...
    Does every movement become a business?
    Does every era have its day...?

    Why are people with iPhones using Roku? And not Apple TV? My Tv has Roku and it’s clunky and basically not usable 
    Apple TV is an added box/cost ?  Fragmenting tracking for profiling privacy ?

  • Apple delays release of Universal Control for macOS, iPadOS until 2022

    ...if local 'devices in proximity' why does this require iCloud login / tethering on all devices...?
