  • Apple calls iPhone X preorders 'off the charts' after rapid sellouts

    If A Hot Dog vendor only has 20 Dodger Dogs at the World Series he is going to sell out quickly. 

    Next we we will hear that supplies are constrained on the HomePod and Black (not Pro) iMac and how quickly they sold out.


    If you don't think the new iMac Pro is a "Pro", I'd hate to see what your requirements for "Pro" hardware are...

    I was surprised they didn’t even acknowledge  the red crown. It seemed pretty un-Apple like to have such a strong colour as a default accent on all models, so I assumed it was tied to some important new feature. I guess not. Was the primary purpose differentiation from earlier models? I’d be very interested in hearing the internal thinking. Just seems..strange, and it in line with their typically understated design ethos. 
    It could be to help identify it as a communication device in situations where people aren't allowed to have a phone.

  • Schlage Sense smart lock Wi-Fi adapter coming, does not extend HomeKit connectivity

    What I look for in getting a lock, is making sure it doesn't h ave that crap SmartKey feature. This is where there's a little hole on the left next to where you install the Key. This lets you easily program the lock to use a different key. Instead of the normal having to pull apart and put new pins in. The problem is, all the plastic used inside to make this possible. Using a simple tool, you can break through the lock in about 10 seconds. When done even lock the door backup. Of course the lock is destroyed internally at that point. Your key will in general continue to work until it just fails. So when I see these so called Smart Locks with the Smart Key feature, I say no thanks!!! Of course I went to home depot looking to get a rekey set and now they don't sell them anymore?!?! Really? LAME! A year ago a Rekeyed 6 locks at my house. 3 of them Deadbolts. Wasn't to, to hard. All the locks now use the same key. Makes things nice.
    Maybe back in 2010, but Smart Key has come a long way.  It also has nothing to do with this, since Kwikset and Baldwin use Smart Key...

  • Apple's 2017 Back to School promo offers wireless Beats with Macs & iPad Pros

    Beats wireless headphones are among the worst reviewed devices on Apple's own website. Was going to get Powerbeats 3 or BeatsX, but they seem to have high failure rates. 
    I've got a pair of Beats Studio Wireless headphones that I've had since November, and have never had an issue.  Battery lasts 8-10 hours per charge, and they've always just worked.
