  • Ralph Nader once again assails Apple's stock buybacks

    I'd like to see them spend more money on their Apple Store employees. I get that you CAN get retail employees cheap, but that doesn't mean you should. They're some of the highest selling retail employees in history and while their wage is better than some, it's not in line with the amount of product they move. Just because their job could be done by other people doesn't mean that they shouldn't be invested in more. There should also be some quality of life improvements for employees. Standing around all day on concrete floors isn't good for anyone.

  • Hands on: iA Writer for Mac and iOS claims to be a calming, relaxing text editor

    Seriously considering buying this. Right now I'm paying off my new MacBook so I'll probably hold off. (Also need to make sure I don't get laid off at the end of next month.) But I feel like this could be a lot of fun to work in. I've mostly been using Pages and I'm pretty accustom to it. But the mode that highlights the type of words you're using could be really good to use when editing for content.

  • Samsung's Galaxy Tab S4 focuses on productivity to take on iPad Pro

    Great let me just open up Affinity Photo ... nope that isn’t for Android ... how about Pixelmator? Nope. Procreate then! Nope. Some garbage app half in Cantonese that’s scrapping my contacts and text messages ... I mean it’s basically just as good.

  • Intel delays 10nm Cannon Lake processor production to late 2019

    I'm VERY happy with my quad core 13 inch MacBook Pro! Today is a great time to buy if you want a Mac that's going to be the best one available for a long while. This is the machine that I'm hoping takes me until Apple flat out stops supporting Intel in macOS.

  • Samsung continues anti-iPhone X crusade with three new videos

    So let's go through all their complaints so far, first it was that he phone doesn't have a headphone jack (guessing the S10 won't have one either given their comments years ago about the headphone jack being on the bottom) and this was a big deal because they don't realize everyone has bluetooth in 2018. Then it was that the modem in the iPhone isn't as theoretically fast as the S9 even though with network latency factored in both phones will feel as fast doing cellular data tasks because the modems are both already faster than they need to be for real world use. Then it was that the S9 had scored better on a camera benchmark even though the iPhone X already has a fantastic camera. Now it's that you can't add storage through micro SD cards, which you've never been able to do with iPhones, that you can't split screen your phone which makes no sense on a screen that small. (It makes sense on their bigger screened device, but I guess nobody's buying Smasung's larger devices. And then they want to make fun of the notch which everyone knows is there, doesn't cover video by default, and is being copied by literally everyone. Good job Samsung, you're as pedantic as an mean Sunday school teacher.
