  • Sleep apnea in, hypertension out for Apple Watch Series 10

    Apple is more interested in profits than helping their customers lead healthier lives. The licensing fee they would have to pay for O2 levels is a pittance in the overall scheme of finances at Apple. They got caught violating a patent and their ego is preventing them from admitting it which is preventing existing and future customers from the health benefits of monitoring O2 saturation.

  • Delta CEO criticizes Microsoft's fragility, praises Apple's stability

    Ultimately what is probably needed is running virtual machines to serve up apps to basically dumb “terminals” at individual locations.  Reduce the complexity of the work station.  Reduce the risk of problems.

  • Another Apple ad campaign crashes and burns under pressure from viewers

    kelliekellie
    It’s amusing seeing a super woke company like Apple getting skewered and canceled by the woke culture that has proliferated the world.  A culture Apple has helped to create and spread. Is it ironic or hypocritical of Apple - the way their product announcements are made, embracing environmentalism, DEI, LGBTQ, etc. - to produce advertising content that triggers the demographics they try to appeal to and highlight?  Just goes to show, when you get wrapped up in the politics of diversity, super sensitivity to particular groups of people and a general sense of pandering to so many sub groups of people, that you can’t succeed because you can’t please everybody, all the time.  I enjoyed the commercial.  It was very humorous.  The cinematography was top notch. It was a fun story line.  Bottom line, in the end, the Thai boxing company was able to produce the 500,000 boxes the company needed to please their very unlikeable customer Chad. Thailand you delivered the goods.  Now everyone , take a chill pill.

    The primary cause of the outage was due to Crowdstrike shipping a faulty malware template that either wasn’t tested or was accidentally shipped out unknowingly 

    the secondary cause is every Crowdstrike customer who blindly allowed the update to occur without doing their own testing and validation.  Sure it would be nice to totally trust the vendor, but they don’t suffer the consequences.  

    The third cause of the failure was Microsoft allowing Crowdstrike to run in kernel mode.  So when Crowdstrike choked, it brought down each and every PC. A simple reboot would not fix the problem.  

    The fourth cause of the problem is EU regulators who told Microsoft that if they were going to force applications vendors to use a Microsoft API to access the kernel, that would be considered anti-competitive. So Microsoft had no choice but to allow Crowdstrike unprotected access to the kernel.  Apple is allowed to control access to its kernel. 

    The Delta CEO is criticizing Microsoft purely to try and squeeze money out of Microsoft.  The CEO is clueless about Windows vs Mac.  He’s just trying to shake down Microsoft. The Delta CEO needs to ask the Delta CIO why he allowed Crowdstrike updates to occur without validation and testing.  Trust but verify as Ronald Regan used to say about the Russians.

  • 13-inch iPad Pro review: hardware of the future running software of the past

    kelliekellie
    Apple’s strongest skill is compelling hardware design.  Frequently Apple’s quest for design aesthetics creates functionality problems.  The quest for thin form factors had in the past created heat management issues, resulting in slower operations.  Or keyboard keys that loose their tactile feel or longterm reliability issues. The M4 iPad on the other hand has no hardware shortcomings, even though Apple made it incredibly thin.  The performance is outstanding.  The screen images are incredible.  Unfortunately, all of this hardware superiority is hobbled by an operating system that misses the mark.  Apple is a hardware company first. And a software company second.  Their hardware design and manufacturing capabilities are significantly better than their software development abilities.  This is why they are playing catchup with AI.  I am prepared to be underwhelmed with their WWDC announcements regarding AI, operating systems and other application software.  Now that Mac, iPhone and iPad all run on the same hardware architecture, Apple should ditch iPad OS and focus on creating an iPad specific version of MacOs.  If you are going to pay a Mac price for an M4 iPad, you should have access to an OS that offers greater functionality than iPadOS. This way Apple could focus on software development for one less operating system and give customers greater performance, functionality and satisfaction.
