  • The biggest and boldest TV launches at CES 2024

    The LG Signature OLED T is interesting but if it’s wireless how do you connect a gaming system to it? 
    The reference to wireless is how the Zero Connect Box sends A/V to the display and speakers. It does mean that the Zero Connect Box won't have any HDMI ports for connecting media appliances, gaming consoles, cable/sat boxes, eARC etc.

    It's also not the kind of display you want for gaming (or even watching movies) as it's not a great traditional OLED display on its own.

  • How to manage activity on the Dynamic Island in iOS 17

    I love the concept of the Dynamic Island and maybe it was always meant to be more of a sublet feature, but I do feel that its full potential has been fully realized (read: implemented) yet by Apple. What that potential is I cannot say, but every time I think about it I get this niggle that something seemingly obvious has been overlooked.

  • Microsoft briefly edged out Apple as the most valuable company in the US

    Blame or credit AI (not the website) and VP (not the Vice President.)
    VP = Apple Vision Pro?

  • Satechi reveals game-changing 145W GaN travel charger at CES 2024

    That's nice for that design style, but I'm preferring the flatter designs that are less likely to fall out on airplanes and in wall sockets that are worn.

  • Vision Pro could gain an Apple Pencil-like controller

    Based on virtually every analysis of Apple’s patent drawings, this is guaranteed to never appear in this form factor or even in one of its products. Usually the core technology in the patent ends up hidden in a future product in ways no one ever suspected. And so sorry that 3 versions of Apple Pencil is confusing to you.  
    1) The patent drawing isn't  an exact rendering of the implementation in the device they are creating. Go back 100 years and you'll see that, but the system if very different now. 

    2) Based on this image can you tell me the 3 versions of the Apple Pencil? I can, which is better than most, but I can't tell you which devices they will work on. I'll have to google that... every... single... time. My feeling is that Apple cut corners in future proofing the Pencil since it was always going to be a small peanuts accessory which is why their cross usage is abysmal and confusing. Furthermore, as someone who is not a regular iPad user, but who uses their MBP all day, I have a real need for a good stylus on my trackpad. I would love for Apple to include a digitizer in the MBP trackpad.
