  • AirPods Pro crackling issue target of new class-action lawsuit

    I’ve had two complete sets of original AirPod Pro replaced because of the crackling. The Apple employees were great and understanding and no questions asked.

  • Why Apple's smart home speaker dreams are still falling short

    Scot1Scot1
    We have both HomePods and Amazon echo. 
    I’m so tired of hearing from Siri, “I found a result on the Internet, I can send it to your phone if you’d like.”   When I ask Alexa the same question, she answers the question almost immediately. Make no mistake, I love my Apple products, but at least until recently Siri has been hugely lacking. I suspect that’s one reason why so many of us use Amazon or Google for our smart device devices.

  • US fights Canada over new tech tax that could cost Apple billions

    Maybe it's about time the USA starts charging Canadian "visitors" every time they come across the border to buy gas and groceries at a big discount over Canadian prices. Check the Costco gas station in Bellingham, WA, and see how many cars with BC plates are there. Let's also start charging taxes or tariffs on semi truck trailers having free rein on USA highways. 
    As a Canadian who lives in White Rock BC, (next to the US boarder), you are correct, many Canadians on this side dodge the expensive gas by driving across the border. I won’t. You see, that expensive gas has a large carbon tax included to fight global warming and also includes a large transit tax that helps pay for the skytrain and hydrogen busses that move is around the Vancouver lower mainland. I have a few shares in Apple and am a bit of a fanboy. The digital tax, in my opinion, is reasonable. What the article doesn’t point out is that several other countries also have a similar tax and that there is a global agreement being negotiated that includes the US, but no consensus has been reached to date. Canada, with a population of 41 million, one tenth of the US decided to take a stand and acted unilaterally after several years of delay. 

    And by the way, the gas some of my neighbours purchase south of the boarder comes from Canadian oil which is then refined at Arco BP refinery near Birch Bay, WA. and then shipped north to sell back to us. 

    Canadians are America’s’ best friends. Sorry we hurt your feelings.

    What if M$ and Apple BOTH pulled out of the EU?!?  That would be awesome!  Just goto war.  Either that or Apple, Microsoft, and Google are going to have to keep funding the EU regime, with billions every year, that goes who knows where...  Just all three PULL OUT!!  And leave um to their own facilities.

    Serious, this is huge, first the EU demotes the European monarchies, changes most of the currency, lately they are trying to extort American companies...  and the EU Dictators could care less...

    How? just keep making stuff/penalties up!
    The population of the EU is larger that the USA. Not a good move to pull out of a large market.
