  • Apple Music now streaming new Kanye West 'Donda' event

    Not seeing how people are triggered by Kanye... Is not caring for his music and his antics, and wanting him to get help triggered? Is feeling sorry for how he was used by republican campaign workers in certain states (to get him on the ballot to peel of some voters), is that being triggered? It's more like feeling bad for him, and no respect for people who used him.

  • New AirPods with updated design slated for fall launch

    I hope they change the squeeze method of interacting with them, and keep the tapping or something else. So cumbersome to squeeze without them coming out or moving their position in your ear. So in other words, I hope they don't borrow that "feature" from the Pros.

  • Apple says hardware leaks harm consumers

    Leaks don't hurt consumers any more than Apple's own decisions do (eliminating useful ports on their devices, talk about hurting consumers). Why didn't the letter explain "how" it hurts consumers?

  • Face ID could reach Mac lineup within a 'couple of years'

    In the meantime, just buy an Apple Watch.   It works just as well.  And, if you're wearing a mask, you need it to unlock even your phone.

    Apple Watch unlocking of my Mac works very inconsistently. Can't depend on it. I never know when it will work and when it will not. I'm happy when it does work, and when it doesn't I have no idea why. Meanwhile, for my work computer, I use WIndows Hello which is not perfect but overall works very well. I know there were some cases where security researchers were able to trick it. But if you look at the risk/convenience analysis, its worth it, and it's here and now, not sometime in the future.

    Lots of woke Snowflakes at Apple and all these tech companies. They need to see what other people have to endure to make a living.
    The entitled of today don't seem to be able to look beyond their own little selves, and for that I pity them. 

    I suppose this is what you get when a generation or two have been deprived of exposure to world history, not to mention the concept of gratitude.
    To a large degree I think you are right on.  With apologies to the many history teachers out there who try their best, world history as it is taught in American public schools has been an abomination and an afterthought for decades.  We are now reaping the fruits of the woeful ignorance of the younger generation in the work force.  Spoiled from childhood, they have no concept of the struggles of previous generations and what they had to do to put food on the table.

    Most of our history lessons, however, are learned through life experience.  And these young individuals at Apple are about to experience, as they say, a “teachable moment.“  Good luck to them.
    Can you imagine if today's generation were thrust back into WWII, risking their lives under the most trying, miserable circumstances? An Axis victory would have been assured.

    It's doubtful today's entitled generation could even imagine such sacrifice, let alone understand how their abundant freedoms come directly from all that sacrifice made not so long ago.

    What a pile of garbage. This could be said by each generation of the generation following it, if you had this kind of attitude. This could probably have been said of the WW2 generation before US entered the war, while US was isolationist, by the generation that fought in WW1. Truth is, each generation will do what it needs to be done, if put on the spot, as they were during WW2. I'd be more worried about entitled brats like yourself, thinking you have the monopoly on sacrifice, and hardships. That's the easiest thing for people to do, thump their chest and call others entitled. When you're sitting in traffic, with nothing to do productive except listen to audiobooks, you can think that time can be spent better. Some people work better from office, some better from home, depending on their personality, position, family situation, location, etc. A sensible company such as Apple should take in consideration all of those things. I hope they will. To me their position is a bit too rigid.
