  • Apple TV+ review: 'The Mosquito Coast' a slog that wastes a strong cast

    What ever happened to experiencing something without preconceptions or bias? I’m halfway through the first episode and enjoying it. Good production quality.

  • Tile bemoans Apple AirTags launch, raises antitrust concerns

    Seems to me Tile needs to quick squawking and get on Apple's "Find My" band wagon.

  • Microsoft buys Siri speech recognition partner Nuance in $19.7B deal

    Being a pretty healthy individual—even at the "advanced" age of 71—I have, happily, not had many AI-based interactions in the healthcare space—at least, not that I know of.

    Though I've been pretty happy with Siri and most of "her" assistance so far, she definitely has her limitations.

    But, just yesterday, when trying to chat on Apple's site, having a question about a product return, I bumped into its AI which was, in my case, pretty stupid. It kept giving automated responses I didn't want. Only after I typed in frustration, "Go away. Give me a live person!" did it comply!

    I can see AI's potential value in gathering and collating data in an assistive sense. But AI is only capable of looking into the past, however granularly, and it will NEVER be able to actually PREDICT the future or come up with original ideas. That's the realm of live beings, only!

    AI systems may be quite useful, but only if given tasks they're properly suited for.

  • Apple overtakes Samsung as global top smartphone manufacturer

    I don't care about any of this yap, yap crap, good or bad in the media.

    I just love Apple products for what they are. Good products.

    Love my late 2014 iMac, my old Mac mini which can still run Mojave for one still-important app, my iPhone XS Max, and my iPad Pro 12.9" with Apple Pencil. Just recently got an Apple Watch Series 6 to replace my 3, and I'm looking forward to the iPhone 12 (or 13) and an M1 iMac.

    I also love Catalina and the latest iOS and iPad OS.
