  • State report says Foxconn's Wisconsin plant 'more of a showcase' than a factory

  • Editorial: With sales falling backward, Google's Pixel 3a takes a desperate step into chea...

    DED: Maybe this has already been noted, but I think there's a factor-of-10 error in your monthly sales rate calculations. Based on the numbers provided, Pixel sales in 2016 were 650,000 units per month, not 65,000 (1.9MM divided by 3), unless I'm missing something. And the 2017 monthly sales rate was 287,500, not 28,750 (3,450,000/12).

    This in no way interferes with your argument, of course. Thanks as always.

  • Apple unveils 5th-gen iPad mini with Apple Pencil support, better Retina display

    Sorry Tim Apple, I'm not blown away by this 
    oh! does this not delight, pleasure, amaze and orgasm you?

    for shame, Apple!

    perhaps this product was not made for you? has that occurred to you? probably not.

    i rarely check into the comments on new Apple products these days, but having done so here, for a very welcome update on a product I still use practically every day, I see the quality and the tone of the trolling has stayed, disappointingly, stale and well, perhaps outdated? now, some new, innovative trolling without those embarrassing old-fashioned bezels, and with FaceID, actionable from every word? and with bigger, fatter pencils? that would really have 'blown <me> away'!

    i'm so disappointed. in fact, I am outraged!

    after 20 years you'd think these people would have moved on to newer, more exciting targets? apparently not.

    PS also:

    to the person complaining that the updated Mini is "for the person who wants the smallest and least usable Apple Pencil:" I have both Pencils, and I believe that the Gen1 is actually perhaps a millimeter *larger* than the Gen1 (i.e. they're practically identical in size, tho not shape or weight), but I should check on that.

    anyway, trolls! carry on! like the 80's, perhaps you'll be back in vogue just any year now!

  • Samsung has a long history of mocking Apple before copying it

    Amusing. I have one issue with it, and I keep seeing it, or some variation, popping up in both pro- and anti-Apple punditry re: the removal of the headphone jack:

                  "it did mean we all have headphones lying around that we can't use any more."

    C'mon. This is just a pure, flat-out lie. All wired headphones with 3.5mm jacks can still be used with the jack-less iPhone by using a lightning adapter, available from Apple or 3PV's for $9 or $10.

    With the adapter, you can't use your headphones and charge the phone at the same time. But that is not what the statement above says. And there are adapters available that enable simultaneous charging/listening.

    So cut it out. Please.
