  • Mac Pro and Mac Studio refreshes may wait till 2025

    When you click on “view comments” for an articles, why can’t you automatically scroll down to the comments instead of the user having to scroll through the article a second time?  Not a very Apple like experience.

  • iPad Pro hands on: Luxury technology in an impossibly-thin package

    This isn’t luxury anything until the toddler software is improved.

  • Apple to unveil AI-enabled Safari browser alongside new operating systems

    The AI based ad blocker sounds like a compelling feature. However, I fully expect that those who benefit from selling ads will come up with their own AI to block the ad blockers. Blocker versus anti blocker. Full on AI wars lie ahead. This should come as no surprise since none of the ad blockers I've tried over the years, including 1Blocker, are fully effective. Plus, a number of websites are already detecting the presence of an ad blocker and refusing to show the content. 

    Maybe this is the time for Apple to reconsider building their own gateway/router. If they built their own gateway/router they could put their Eraser technology at the head of your WAN connection where it can serve as a supercharged Apple Pi-hole. Besides being a tasty sounding network appliance It could also be a convenient place to stick a HomeKit gateway with support for all of the networks support by Matter and Thread. No more need to hide matter/thread support in things like Apple TVs and HomePods, where it's always seemed like a weird mix of functional responsibilities. Speaker is a gateway too? Okay.
    That going to pretty tough considering Apple controls the browser.  As long as Apple is not manipulating the DOM is going to be impossible for the website to know if anything is being blocked.

    Web ads suck but how else do you think your favorite websites will stay in business? Are you prepared to pay a subscription to every site? I doubt it…
    The ad industry has brought this upon themselves.  The trick is not to just block the ads, but do it without being detected.  If Apple can dance around the “turn off your ad blocker” alert its game over for ads on the web.

  • Despite Apple pushback, Oregon has passed its right-to-repair bill banning parts pairing

    Well done Oregon! Look forward to seeing more States take similar steps for the benefit of consumers.
    Consumers are now going to have genuine parts in they iPhone swapped out for cheap Chinese knockoffs and repair shops will then sell the genuine parts on EBay.  Oregon should really be focusing on it homeless and drug problem.  Most there can’t even afford an iPhone.
