  • Here are some of the best mouse and trackpad choices for your new Mac mini

    I got an iMac a couple of years ago. I used the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse for a year and a half and finally said enough. I was tired of the flat keys and bad ergonomic position of the keyboard. I was sick of it not always recognizing that I wanted to wake the system with a keystroke. I was sick of the brain dead charging process of the Magic Mouse. I was sick of how at least once a day the mouse would start tracking at half speed. I'd have to flip it over for a few seconds to get it to reset itself. Traded both in for a mouse and keyboard from MacAlley. They work great, the mouse is flawless, the keyboard is more comfortable to type on and has legs so I can tilt it up for a better position. Oh and they are wired. I really don't see the appeal of Bluetooth mice and keyboards. The cables are really not in the way, you never have to charge them, you never have connection issues, they just work. Especially on something like an iMac with four USB ports it seems far better, for me at least.

  • Compare the iPhone XS and iPhone XR versus the size of other iPhones with this printable g...

    For all that huge screen on the iPhone X, the case isn't truly that much bigger than that of the iPhone SE.
    A point that bears repeating. I bought my SE for the small size. A small screen was just a consequence of that small size. I'm very pleased with them increasing the screen size by eliminating the chin and forehead. I can't wait to hold an XS in my hand to see how it feels.

  • Apple records first-ever accident in self-driving car program [u]

    Unless you are an old lady who never has merged before. Then you cause accidents.
    Unless you are waiting for a hole in traffic. 1mph is essentially stopped. It was waiting for an opening.

  • The road to Steve Jobs' resignation, and the rise of Tim Cook as his successor

    Jobs was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the fall of 2003. In an extreme example of Jobs' stubborn nature, he first fought his disease with alternative medicine, as well as a special diet.
    And if he hadn't done that, he might be here still. Get yourself checked for cancer. If the find it do EXACTLY what your doctor says. Radiation, Surgery, Chemo, Immunotherapy, whatever. \Don't let the scam artists on the web fool you. Fighting cancer is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do. But there is a way to beat it. And that is NOT with diet, meditation, acupuncture or any of that other BS.

  • Ralph Nader once again assails Apple's stock buybacks

    It's sad to see a person who once was a great consumer rights advocate reduced to a whining luddite. His high point was Unsafe at any Speed, and it's been downhill from there. The only thing he didn't say is "get off my lawn". Why does anyone pay attention to someone so badly out of touch? If he want's to rail about something there are FAR more pressing things he could use his voice for.
