  • A cheap Bluetooth transmitter can spoof some iPhone notifications

    Your best defense against a shark attack: Stay outta the damn water!
    Your best defense against hacking: same!

    What are people doing on their iPhones that would benefit from 40Gbps data transmission bandwidth?
    Transferring 4K videos taken using iPhones to their Macs?
    LOL!! You could do that at 20Gbps. Or 10. Or 1. It would give you more time to think whether that 4K video is worth the drive space!

  • Apple TV+ plans to milk all it can out of Lionel Messi

    Very smart move from Apple. Reinvigorate a flailing and boring MLS with a star player. More will follow, and Apple is in there early, for cheap.
    Yeah, he's scored 9 goals in 6 days. Or was it 6 goals in 9 days?

    But who cares? REAL football started on Saturday, and Da Bearss won! Ditka!

  • Excellent Newton documentary now on YouTube

    I well remember back in the day, about 2 years after Newton was introduced. My employer at the time, an Apple SMB VAR, did a recycling event, where we invited our clients to have their outdated and out of use equipment responsibly recycled, instead of going to landfills. One medical practice brought in about 25 Newtons. Others brought in more. By the end of the day, we had about 50 of them or so, along with dozens of expansion cards. We also took in LaserWriters, displays, assorted Macs, and a complete NextCube, with screen, all manuals and discs. Needless to say, we didn't give that one to the recyclers! We sold it on eBay for about $2,500 if memory serves. We also got an Anniversary Mac, which the owner kept for his collection.
