  • Apple TV+ review: Catching up with full seasons of Apple's original shows

    I’ll join the praise for Ted Lasso. It has a different beat than Scrubs, which was Bill Lawrence’s breakout show and still one of the greatest shows of all time that still holds up to this day, but its ability to make you both laugh, cry, jump for joy, and want to hold those closest to you all in the same scene is right up there with it.

    when I saw they were making this show, I rolled my eyes. When I saw Bill Lawrence was involved, I was instantly on board, and they knocked it out of the park. The only disappointment is that it was only 10 episodes and we don’t know when season 2 is coming!

  • 'AirTags' leak reveals circular button design of tracking accessory

    Without the size, this leak is worthless.  Did anyone think it was going to be a triangle or square?  My expectation and hope is that it will be surprisingly small--think fingernail size rather than half-dollar size.
    The article itself, that you just commented on, clearly states it will be about the size of a bottle cap in diameter.

    uBlock works wonders.
    Adguard is 10X better
    Seconded for AdGuard. Plus the fact that you can set up their DNS on your home router and stop all ads on everything in the house makes it even better!

  • JPMorgan to shut down Chase Pay app in early 2020

    Remember, Apple Pay only works for Apple customers -- and not at all in many countries.
    You mean just like how Samsung Pay only works for Samsung Users?  At the end of the day, Apple developed their own platform and they are going to keep it proprietary for now. If they want they can release an android version of Apple Pay, just like they did for Apple Music. 

    As as far as countries, Apple Pay is in 56 Countries, and that  is nothing to sneeze at.

    Yeah, but until Antarctica is on board, is it really a viable platform?

  • Apple creates Memoji tribute to US Women's World Cup victory

    Hmmm. Would Apple have rooted for an opposing team? I think inclusion is important and they should have but would they have?
    Apple is an American company, and that is where their connection to the American women's team is. Apple has no connection to The Netherlands women's team, so it'd be a little odd seeing Apple congratulate them on an American technology web site after theoretically beating the American team. Apple has a plenty good enough track record with inclusion when it comes to Pride Month, Black History Month, Women's History Month, Chinese New Year, etc. They are also the only major tech company that includes all religious holidays in their holiday calendar (Ramadan, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, etc.). Most other calendar providers, including Google, only provide the typical Easter, Christmas, etc. There are plenty of things you can criticize Apple for, but being inclusive is not one of them. As a straight, white, Christian, conservative (gasp!) American male, I appreciate what Apple does, and hope they can lead other technology companies to do that same by example.
