  • Apple profiles three distinguished Swift Student Challenge winners

    While it’s not for me, I do think it’s funny how the this demographic loves it when Boba Fet or the Mandalorian insists on hiding his face, but not when a woman does it. Examine your biases, my dudes.
    Call me when Boba Fett or Mandalorian are forced to cover their face because of their gender and are treated as second class citizens and not allowed basic privileges like driving. Stop thinking that normalizing misogyny makes you progressive.

  • Hermes has exclusive $699 AirTag Travel Tag, $570 iPhone 12 MagSafe case

    How much??? $699 for $5 of leather, $29 AirTag and $10 assembly cost? The company should be investigated for fraud, what a joke.
    You might call it excessive, extravagant, unaffordable but did you just say Hermes leather is $5 and $10 to assemble? LOL. How many Hermes products do you own to come to that conclusion? Just buy your leather products from Amazon. Just because I cannot afford a Ferrari, I'm not going to make an asinine assertion on the price of aluminum/steel used to make it.

  • Apple disables Group FaceTime as it works on privacy bug fix

    Yes, let's fire the CEO for a "bug" that is sold as products from Google, Amazon, and Facebook that are eavesdropping 24/7. Makes sense - a software error means they cannot POSSIBLY be serious about privacy!

    Mr. Cook grandstands as social activist and prattles on about privacy while his bungling engineers have turned the iPhone into a remotely controlled eavesdropping device.

  • Nevada man thanks Siri for surviving serious Jeep crash

    iPhones are designed to call emergency services even without activation or when roaming on different networks.
    Huh? All cellphones ever built can call 911 without activation or when roaming on different networks. iPhones are nothing special.

    It's why we pay a 911 tax (at least in Canada, I'm not sure about you in the US.) The 911 call is routed through Bell Canada's network (ie, here in Canada, I'm not sure who carries it in the US) I once read. So Bell should be getting some of that 911 tax money in compensation for carrying those emergency calls.
    Before Apple introduced Siri and the others copied, how exactly would you, if paralyzed, call 911?
    Its Canada. Just say "Please" first...

  • Apple thanks Korean police for seizing $900,000 of counterfeit accessories

    Did the shipment belong to that guy on YouTube always bitching about Apple repairs? You know another video will be incoming with that dorky microphone of his across the cheek.
