  • The new MacBook Pro: Why did Apple backtrack on everything?

    Just saw one of these come into my office the other day for setup.   Yes,  it’s great to have the SD card back.  Most people into photography\videography like myself are happy to have it back.   The hdmi is handy too.   I prefer the wedge shape and lighter weight of the Air, which is my laptop of choice.  But,  good to see the pro model gets these ports.  I do have to complain about the notch.  May be to early to be sure,  but my reaction to looking at it the first time is that it’s an abomination.  Who cares about a tiny bit of extra screen space it gives?   Yes, tricks can be used to hide it, like dark mode.  But why should users have to hide something that should not even be there?  The notch is one thing that I doubt will be copied by the windows laptops.  So,  the rumor is Apple is going to ruin the Air laptops with this too?  May be time to get the current Air while I still can.

  • 'iPhone 15' will get in-screen Touch ID, 'iPhone Fold' arrives in 2024 says Ming-Chi Kuo

    To the people who keep saying they don’t understand why anybody wants to “go back” to Touch ID -  the answer is simple - many people like it,  that’s why.

  • ReST Smart Bed review: An app-connected mattress for a good night's rest

    $3,000 for a mattress is obscene. I’ll keep my Avocado - it has a 25 year warranty and cost 1/3rd of that.
    I can’t imagine having the same mattress for 25 years LOL

    Wow. How did the subject of Covid become part of this article???????
    Because Touch ID does not care if somebody has a mask on or not

  • Epic Games CEO slams Apple 'government spyware'

    Why are people so up in arms about this?  If you have nothing to hide why are you fighting Apple’s attempt to make the world safer from criminals and sick people?   This “ceo” made the amazingly stupid comment about “presumption of guilt”?   Well,  at least in the United States a person is innocent until proven guilty.   

    I’m frankly amazed by the feedback in this forum in the last few days,  people who trust and love Apple and now don’t want to help Apple try to make the world safer.  

    If you work for any large company I hope you know that any email, chat messages and files on company computers can be looked at and scanned by security and network admins.

    if you want total privacy,  get rid of cloud storage and maybe go back to using a typewriter LOL

    Apple does not want their products used for crime and is making an attempt to do something about it - what is so hard to understand?
