  • In software development 'cultural shift', Apple won't hold features for major annual point...

    This is absolutely great news! I’m a huge Apple fan, but lately they have stumbled with the software reliability side and also too many things are released as a beta. I don’t like that Apple. I like the reliable Apple that releases stuff when it is ready. There is no point in trying to cram everything into a single update. I also like the idea that they would scatter the release of bigger features across the year. There would always be something to look forward to meaning that we don’t have to wait a whole year to get cool new features. :)

  • Apple iPhone 8 Plus vs Google Pixel 2 XL: camera is only part of the package

    Despite the Pixel being a good phone, it is overpriced for what you get.

     And the bokeh effect on Dieter’s post is awful. Really awful. The same level that some low end Huawei phones do it. Parts of the background are in focus and it is all inconsistent. If you do any bit of photography with a real camera or even the iPhone, you know that is bad bokeh. Or should I say shallow depth of field.

  • Microsoft revamps Cortana app for iOS with new look, streamlined UI

    Yeah. I really don’t understand why someone with an iOS device would download this?

  • Google could pay Apple up to $3B to hold default search status on iPhones

    I have also been using DuckDuckGo on all of my devices for a few years now. Have not missed Google search here in Finland.

  • iPad quarterly sales grow year-over-year for the first time since 2013, best non-holiday q...

    I have to say I am LOVING my new iPad Pro 12,9 with the Apple Pencil. It replaced my nearly 4 year old iPad Air 1st gen witch wasn't seeing much action due to the smaller screen and not being able to use the Apple Pencil.

    I am a musician, guitar teacher and I do photography, photomanipulation and vector graphics as a hobby. I can do all of it on my iPad Pro now with the great big screen that can fit a proper sized sheet of music on it that I can mark up in rehearsals or when teaching my students. I dont have to carry any papers with me because I scan all of it to my iPad with a scanner app. I can also edit my photos taken with a DSLR on Affinity Photo. Still waiting for Affinity to launch Designer (vector graphics) for the iPad though. Also can't wait for iOS 11 to take the whole thing to yet another level!!

    I tried to do all of this with the older iPad but the hardware and software wasn't there yet. Now it is!!! Simply amazing!!
