  • Customer FineWoven complaints lead to threadbare response from Apple

    does apple know something we don't? after 30-60-90 days, does the material suddenly look good? Or is just a line to get people to buy a new one every month hoping it somehow works better  and lasts longer "this" time?

  • YouTube TV loses Disney networks as Google fails to make a deal

    Yep, saw the message on my YouTube TV today. I don’t like that I can’t watch ABC News or even my local news on ABC but I’ll be damned if I going to switch providers over it. I don’t care about College Football and the Patriots don’t air on ABC. 
    I don’t care either.  It will be back anyway.  
    Nah, the Disney channels won't be back especially when Hulu+ Live is competing directly with YouTubeTV.

  • Apple's iOS 15 to reportedly use facial recognition to validate ID cards

    This is a very slippery slope. 
    Imagine the day when you chose to put your drivers license on your phone, and you get pulled over. You'll need to unlock your phone and swipe over to your wallet-app and bring up the ID to show the officer. What's that officer going to do next? Go back to his squad car and scroll through your entire unlocked phone looking for anything and at everything. You'll say that's an invasion of privacy and they will say "hey you unlocked it and gave it to me!!" 

    If anyone at Apple cares about the right to privacy (at least in the United States), there should be a way to open the wallet, load the ID of choice and display it until a password is entered or the phone runs out of battery.

  • Qualcomm thinks it can make a laptop chip better than Apple's M1

    reading the comments here is pretty sobering. 

    1. QUALCOMM already makes laptop chips (for Microsoft) - Microsoft SQ1 and SQ2 

    2. Windows 10 ARM64 exists and runs quite well. Old versions of Windows on ARM (Windows RT) were terrible failures. 

    All that being said, Apple's M1 is running circles around the SQ1/SQ2 chips and runs Windows 10 ARM faster in emulation mode than the SQ1/SQ2 natively, which is very impressive.

  • Apple looks to make Group FaceTime audio calls more realistic

    That's funny, Dolby Voice (with blue jeans now) has been doing this for years.
