  • Apple working on Apple Watch bands with data and power for more sensors

    I was hoping the Series 5 watches would give me a minor electrical shock whenever I picked up a donut. Apple you failed me again.

  • Apple has made it clear how you should wear your Apple Watch

    One more thing

    Apple Watch works whether you wear it on your left or right wrist, and it does so by rotating the screen to be the correct side up for you. In either case, Apple's preferred way of your wearing it has the Digital Crown on the side of the watch nearest the top of your wrist. You can use the same screen rotation feature, though, to put the watch on the other way around.


    The vast majority of Apple marketing photos show the watch on the left hand, with the Digital Crown on the upper right side of the watch. Granted left handed people are a minority within the population, but I’ve rarely seen any advertising that normalize wearing the watch on the right wrist with the crown on the bottom left. 
    "Normalize"?! Do you feel the need for Apple to validate your left handedness?
    Spoken by someone that has never need to adjust for anything in their lives.

  • US House to deliver final report on big tech antitrust probe in 'first part' of 2020

    If the Democratic Party goes after banks, I see little reason they shouldn’t go after these tech companies either. 
    "Goes after banks", you mean makes sure banks don't violate banking regulations as they did leading up to the Great Recession at the end of the last decade? 
    Monopolies are bad and it's been proven time and time again but people have short memories.

  • Adobe refutes reports that Photoshop for iPad is 'rudimentary'

    I've been in a "relationship" with Adobe since 1994. As a visual artist PS gave a tool that I could only dream about having. Through the years though Adobe's wrong turns made it one of those companies you love to hate though, they purchased companies who had software they believe they needed then as most corporations do, destroyed what made those apps good and ultimately killed them off leaving a lot of angry customers. I as many have weened myself off Adobe with Photoshop being the last useful app for my purposes. I don't believe Adobe ever really took the Mac platform seriously and it shows to this day. I don't expect this to change with their iOS version.

  • Apple, Facebook reportedly vie for choice NYC office space

    I've met some of the people who work for Facebook and one who worked for Apple, I can tell you they want to live in NYC because... it's NYC. They are attracted to what the city offers especially for young unmarried people. They will pay more for everything willingly. A person does not really need a car here, I never had a drivers license and walk, take the subway and occasional taxi. The money you pay on rent and eating out would go to car insurance, gas and maintenance. It's is not the place (thankfully) for everyone but the city has been a magnet for people with ambition and dreams for 300 years.
