  • Survey finds reliability is the reason workers choose Mac

    Though the actual survey was conducted by a third party, not Jamf itself, according to 9to5Mac. Which keeps it from being directly biased by Jamf.

    It would seem to me they’re already water (and detergent) proof:

    I thought I had lost my AirPods a couple of weeks ago - until I found them on the bottom of my washing machine, after a 40 minute cycle at 40C/105F. They worked perfectly (and of course they’re nice and clean too)!

    Nevertheless I suppose I should recommend not to do this intentionally...

    Amazing quality and performance already, now about to be improved further.
    That happened to me with two different pair of airpods. Both survived. Pretty amazing.

  • Apple debuts 2019 iPad Air with A12 Bionic chip and enhanced 10.5-inch display

    Thinking about this in terms of what our school did last year, this makes a ton of sense. We bought the cheaper iPad for the students and the 10.5 pro for the teachers. We could have saved a ton of money had this been available last year and when we upgrade as long as this setup is still going we will save a ton of money.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook cites GOP tax reform as driver in $350B US investment

    andrewj5790andrewj5790
    What bullshit.

    This is not "tax reform" on any level. This is a payday loan that YOU PEOPLE will need to pay back at 110% interest. Apple's effective tax rate is close to zero now and none of that is coming your way: you will not see an iMac Pro now starting at $1599 and $299 iPhones. Oh, and by the way: with the last two big tax cuts in the 80s and Bush, wages went NOWHERE. They did not rise. Hell, you all got a bigger tax cut in 2009 to offset the Great Recession, though most people, especially phony libertarian techie boyz don't believe they got one. Can't wait to for the parsing of paychecks in February to find that average $18.

    I look forward to the furrowed brows of Americans in a vain attempt to understand things when they start filing their 2018 taxes next year. You people have been ripped off.

    Good times.
    My wife and I didn’t believe we got one in 2009 because our paychecks got smaller (because of tax increases) total income of less than 50k so no we weren’t wealthy. Now I am the sole worker in the family and we make just over 50k. My paycheck will get bigger. Your bloviating doesn’t change that reality.

    That reality is reflected in the Galaxy S8's inability to launch common apps and then switch between them as rapidly, even with 50 percent more RAM than the iPhone. Samsung's Android Galaxy S8 took 7:40 minutes to follow the iPhone 7 Plus through tasks that took iOS less than 3:20 minutes. 

    iPhone 7 Plus has 3GB of RAM. Galaxy S8 has 6GB of RAM. 

    Galaxy S8 has 100% more RAM than the iPhone 7 Plus, not 50% more.

    Am I correct?
    Only the version sold in Asia. In the US you get 4 GB.
