  • Apple's upcoming low-cost MacBook: Colorful and affordable

    greg.edwards69greg.edwards69
    So it's a large ipad, with a fixed keyboard, no touch screen and runs MacOS. It will sell by the bucketload.

    Personally, I'd love to see Apple revisit the 12" MacBook with this processor instead. It was a brilliant design, just hampered by dreadful performance.

    .... I don't get it.

  • iPadOS 26 fixes nearly everything wrong with the platform after everyone already left

    greg.edwards69greg.edwards69
    Whilst I welcome the changes that iPadOS 26 brings, finally freeing it from its iOS-based shackles, it does seem like they are trying to Mac-i-fy the iPad with the additions of a menu bar, pointer, beefed-up Files app, and Expose-style multitasking. At this point, it makes you wonder whether they should just stick MacOS on the damned thing, particularly, if like the author, you want full-fat apps and not stripped down iPad versions of apps.

  • Nothing CEO takes shots at Apple, ludicrously says that apps are going away

    I am enjoying watching Tech companies flounder.     Most of them lost the plot along time ago.  

    In the infancy of the home computing revolution the messaging was far more empowering and it had to 

    be because the Internet wasn't a thing.  


    Today computing users are disempowered at alarming levels.  Companies want to employ this "let me do it for you" 

    ideology.  Nothing is swimming in the same VC infested waters that all of these other companies are.   They're all  

    singing the same tune "you can trust me to be your only source".  The lack of outrage about Snowden's reveal 

    told the people that matter that consumers don't care about privacy and thus sovereignty of their digital lives.  

    People are bored with technology because they've been told that they should just consume content and if they dare be 

    creative why now have AI crank out some derivative images and prose for you.  "Let me do it for you" 

    Just like I don't do everything for my children because I realize it will only hinder their executive function.  The companies 

    are driven by the love of profit,  not my well being or possibility of improving my executive function.   I keep returning to Barry Schwartz's Paradox of Choice.  

    At least Apple has given people the choice to disengage Apple Intelligence.    I'm getting CoPilot and Gemini crammed down 

    my throat whether I want to or not. 
    It reminds me of the dot.com bubble in the late nineties. That bubble burst not long after, and normality ensued.  Perhaps AI will go the same way?

    PS, you don't have to press return at the end of every line. It makes for difficult reading.

  • Apple Maps still calls it the Gulf of Mexico, and politicians are upset

    greg.edwards69greg.edwards69
    It's worth mentioning that Mexico has more miles along the coast with 1,743 miles compared with 1,680 miles for the USA.
