  • YouTube TV will cost a lot more per month in April

    We just switched to YouTube TV last month due to Sling's recent price increase and their asinine policy of 1 Blue stream even in the combo bundle. Low and behold, YouTube TV now says I'll pay more than Sling. Guess I'll go back to Sling...or Fubo...or Hulu...or...

    I'm sure glad they're not complete idiots like the cable companies that charge you to start and quit the service in addition to requiring a contract.

  • Apple's Q1 earnings hit hard by iPhone production problems

    Overlooked is this was still the 2nd highest revenue and gross margin quarter in Apple history.

  • Apple celebrates music recognition app Shazam turning 20

    While the technology, techniques, and algorithms behind Shazam have been around for more than 50 years, the speed and accuracy at which Shazam operates using only the sensor and processing capabilities present in a pocketable smartphone is nothing short of amazing. 

    I have to agree...we often become complacent in overlooking the marvel of such technology. Like you, the speed in which it almost flawlessly accomplishes its task is still an amazing feat!

  • Apple TV+ signs multi-year deal with Playtone, 'Greyhound' sequel sets sail

    Many stories will only be cheapened with a sequel.

    I would prefer someone else’s story. 
    I can certainly agree with this sentiment...by a long shot, sequels seem to fail to match or simply mimic the original. There are obvious exceptions like Godfather II, Dark Knight, Empire Strikes Back, and Road Warrior/Mad Max 2

    The only thing I'd say for Greyhound is that it unto itself is a great movie. That it can carry on other stories during wartime is a little like Star Wars stories or Toy Story avenues, so I give it a good chance to be as well as the original.

  • Peloton halts production of fitness bikes, cites 'significant' loss of demand

    Ouch! Probably good short term medicine for long term success.

    Personally, I can't justify the cost of such a unit and am quite satisfied with my current stationary bike (at a fraction of Peloton price) while watching Apple Fitness+ on nearby TV.
