  • Jony Ive's LoveFrom unveils Terra Carta Seal recognizing corporate sustainability efforts

    If this doesn't represent how out of touch our elite class is, I don't know what does.  Not to slam AI at all here, but this is a story about a former Apple design chief who "unveiled" a.....logo.  But wait, it's better.  It's a logo for an abstract "sustainability" initiative pushed by professional climate lunatic, hypocrite and royal bag of douche, Prince Chaahhles.  I get why AI would cover it...Jonny Ive was responsible for such much that is Apple.  But this guy seems to have become a caricature of himself.  Remember the parodies about (fake) Apple product introductions? That's nearly what this is.  I'd like it better if he, you know, designed a beautiful product that was functional and helped the environment. 

    Regardless of the merits of the logo, when you have nothing to say about the central questions of our time, you resort to calling people ‘hypocrites,’ it’s easy, and it’s a form of pointless ‘whataboutism.’ But, the simple truth is that the conservative intends to conserve only power and privilege, nothing else. Certainly NOT nature. They deeply resent anyone who points out problems, crises, or the insanity of their beloved political-economic system. So, they resort to slander, as they did with Rachel Carson, Dr King, and continue to do with Prince Charles, Al Gore and Greta Thunberg.

  • Apple's iPad marketshare growing in declining tablet market

    And how frequently one buys iPad? Every three years? We can calculate cost and it ain't gonna be good for Apple. For the record, I still have first gen iPad Retina and its screen looks far better than 2 years old iPad Pro. They should think how to avoid that yellow tint after that sort period of time. Compared side by side in the same mode. It is not just about AI and processor speed. Yes old is slow, but quality was there.
    And as far as Chromebook, well one can by Samsung Galaxy S7 and pay $200 that is normal price instead. Sure resolution is not the same as iPad, but for size and functions there is not much need to go crazy resolutions.

    I just bought my third iPad since 2010. My mother’s has had two iPads over eight years, I just bought her third. That’s not bad going, I doubt many pc users are getting more than 4 to 5 years use out of a laptop, for instance. I have other computers, but in my mother’s case I did not hesitate to buy her the new iPad Air when her previous machine broke. Pretty good for Apple, in my view. 

    (Might your iPad Pro set to Night Mode? Might that be the problem?)

    “I’ve been waiting 48 hours in my hotel room in Bangkok after I used Apple’s Massages app to book a massage. So far nothing.” 1 star.

  • Apple rumored to release 27-inch iMac with mini-LED display in early 2022

    I think Apple should copy what Lenovo does with their business AiO monitors.  The Mac Mini would be perfect for something like this.  This way you could extend the life of the monitor when upgrading your Mac.


    Ouch. My eyes are hurting. Does that thing take a floppy disk?

    There are a whol range of options between what we did and nothing though.

    and China? Right. I guess if it isnt written down, it never happened. 
    China had no notice of the arrival of the disease, yet they succeeded in mitigating it. Their economy is open. They will lock down entire cities when they detect only a handful of cases. There are places whose official cases and deaths are not credible, for example, India’s figures are notorious. But even Johns Hopkins researchers take China’s official tallies at face value.
