Rather than fix the mouse, Apple went on the cheap and swapped out the connector, in the same horrible location. [snip]  But when they fail, let us never shy away from calling it like it is: a BIG FAIL!

Huh!!?? The Apple Magic Mouse is a spectacularly excellent mouse. Its comfort and intuitive ease-of-use is unequaled. Scrolling, up, down, sideways, brilliant! It integrates perfectly with the OS productivity functionality, like Mission Control, Exposé, Launchpad etc. Recharging the mouse upside down once every two-three months does not reach the level of a first-world problem. 

There is an unmistakable whiff of desperation in the efforts of these social media dudes.

Now that the UK is out of the EU, there ought to be a law that forbids Murdoch’s People, i.e. Britons, from discussing the EU or mentioning it, even in furtive, hushed tones, with severe penalties for violations.

What a weird comment.

Thanks

What a sensationalist pile of bull crap. This is like when Apple introduced the first 5G iPhone and said that medical professionals could perform surgery from across the country which has never once happened. Hospitals buy all sorts of junk because they have special interest groups to test new technologies. To think that a single product is going to inspire a wave of late retirement is laughable. 

Huh‽ 

Hmm, a smart speaker from Apple, the computer company in Cupertino, California; or a smart speaker from the East German Stasi in East Berlin; or a smart speaker from the Russian KGB in Moscow? Decisions, decisions, decisions… 

Does the business model of the company that we are buying into, not warrant any mention at all from a tech journalist?
