  • A5X: How Apple took iPad to a luxury tier rivals couldn't match

    We upgraded our iPads to the retina versions the day they were available.
    Now, our iPads are "good enough" and we sit here with money [burning a whole in our pockets] waiting for the resolution to double again.
    I don't care about: speed, camera, color.
    I care about image quality.

    Sorry to say but doubling the resolution would not make a difference in image quality unless you use your iPad less than 1 foot from your face

    Color on the other hand IS image quality and the human brain is more sensitive to color than resolution. So an HDR iPad would be a worthy upgrade.

  • Apple's iPad still leading global tablet market despite Amazon surge

    If Amazon achieves higher marketshare selling 20 buck knockoff iPads you'll begin to hear the doom news and teasing from the android boys.

    I didn't know all the other tablets had that big of a market share. Go figure.

    Most non-iPads are in a drawer or in the landfill. Heck monitoring has proved that most aren't online.

  • Samsung issues patch for Galaxy S10 fingerprint sensor problem

    I say this when Apple does it, and I'll say it now:  going from learning of a hardware defect to releasing a fix in 2 weeks is pretty darn impressive.  

    Having said that, this defect is more ridiculous that any Apple bug/oversight than I can think of.

    My assumption is that this can't be as bad as the article implies.  Surely I can't walk up to your Samsung phone, add a screen protector and now I can unlock your fingerprint-protected phone, right?  It's gotta be that if you have a certain type of protector on when you enroll your fingerprint any finger thereafter will unlock it.  Which means that I can't use this vector to attack any phone that didn't start with a bad screen protector.  That seems plausible, right?  

    You don't get it here.

    Say Granny Alice got a "shiny new iPhone" (she thinks it's an iPhone) and puts a screen protector on it (maybe even an iPhone screen protector!). Now any scumbag can unlock her phone. She doesn't read Apple Insider because she's too busy watching the cooking channel.

    How can ACSI report that Samsung is ahead of Apple in customer satisfaction for desktops in the US?
    I get that Samsung is ahead of Apple in dishwashers, but how can Samsung be ahead in a category they don't have any products in?
    Easy.  According to ACSI, customers who purchased Samsung desktops were overall more satisfied with their purchase than customers who purchased Apple desktops.  Quick example: Apple customers rated their desktop purchase satisfaction level at a 97 on average.  Samsung customers rated their desktop purchase satisfaction l

    Let me repeat: The ACSI survey shows that customers prefer something that doesn't exist (Samsung doesn't sell desktops in the US) to Apple. The Samsung marketing team took that one a bit too far.
    Samsung sold AiO desktops in the US.  You can still get them from Amazon and other online retailers.

     I guess the 100 people who bought them really loved their Windows machine!

    Just looked them up and wow their Amazon reviews are horrid!!
