  • Apple Store in Scotland renamed amid worldwide protests for racial equality

    PC gone crazy as usual - who in Scotland knows who Bucannan is? I had to Google him - stop rewriting our heritage from the outside

  • Five reasons to not buy the Amazon Fire TV Cube

    Obviously  being Apple iTunes based I think you are missing a lot of the positives and downgrading the Fire/Cube as a result 

    Amazon Prime includes a huge range of FREE 4K original content plus a ton of pay to view 4K content 

    Apple iTunes/Apple TV 4K includes zero free 4K content - everything in apple TV/iTunes is paid for content 

    If you are an Amazon Prime subscriber then you get all that original and some third party content free. 

    I think if you are going to compare Apple TV to Amazon Fire you should do that on a cost vs cost basis. So if I pay for Amazon prime TV that 4K content can I get for $100 a year (£80 here in the UK) vs what I would get from iTunes. There is no equivalent subscription on iTunes so no direct comparison is available.

    So if you compare the included 4K content on Amazon vs the cost of paying for every single movie or TV programme on iTunes, then Amazon has a much cheaper option 

    I have no axe to grind but I do think that if you are comparing devices it would be useful if you could compare the real cost of each rather than preferring the Apple TV option which in the end costs way more just because it is Apple

  • iOS 11 lets you turn off iPhone or iPad without the power button

    So you shut down your phone using software because the sleep/wake button is defective... how do you turn it back on? Doesn't seem like a particularly useful feature at all

  • How to: turn your iPhone into a document scanner, and when you shouldn't

    What about Evernote Scannable. It's great at detecting the document boundaries (in my experience better than iOS 11 Notes), can create PDFs or images, email or share using any of your iOS share options and its free. You don't need to use Evernote to use the app. It's also an App Store Editor's Choice.

  • Apple might debut 'MagSafe-like' USB-C adapter with redesigned MacBook Pro line

    Griffin's Breaksafe USB-C cable https://griffintechnology.com/us/breaksafe-magnetic-usb-c-power-cable shows what is already available. Hopefully Apple will make the solution more elegant but if not then a solution already exists. Although for the price of a MBP I'd hope Apple would solve this one rather than having to buy an extra third party product.
