  • Microsoft's Surface Duo suffers a Face ID-style demo failure, nobody cares

    Oh no, a phone that's still 6-8 months from release had a software problem.  Might as well just cancel the whole project now.

  • The story of the iMac is the story of Apple

    Their computers are just over priced and always late to the game. A underpowered $6000 MacPro, and 2 year old iMac Pro and a 10 year old design iMac with outdated peripherals. 
    It's been 21 years since the iMac was first available for purchase, it's been at least 30 years of hearing comments like this. Apple is not going to license macOS for use outside of their own hardware. They tried that for a bit and have said it would never happen again. The main iMac design hasn't really been changed since 2004 but how are you going to change an all-in-one design with the logic board behind the display? You might as well say that all desktop tower designs have remained the same since the late 80's. Can't they come up with anything new?

    No thanks, Google. No thanks, Amazon.
    I guess you don't have a smartphone, PC, and/or tablet either.

  • How to use external storage on iPad and iPhone with iOS 13

    P_DevilP_Devil
    It looks like videos and photos open right up in the Files app and aren't copied to other apps before opening. This is exactly what I was hoping Apple would do. Give me the ability to copy movies to a thumb drive and play them directly off the drive using my 11" iPad Pro without copying to my iPad's internal storage.

  • Apple is not deleting your iTunes or movie purchases, and it isn't getting out of media sa...

    Perfect.  I knew that my purchased movies weren't going anywhere but were rather just organized in a separate app.  I was a little worried about home sharing as I use that all the time.  My Mac Mini hosts over 400 movies through iTunes to all of my Apple TV units in my house (four of them).  I don't want to use Plex as, for whatever reason, it is still transcoding even though I told it not to and I'm playing h.264 files that my Apple TV can handle natively.  Plus I hate getting an ad everyday for their pay service, I'm not going to subscribe to something again when I can use what Apple offers.

    Home sharing being built into Catalina will be nice, same with syncing to devices.  I'd rather have a feature built into the OS, which is already heavy, instead of weighing down the individual apps.
