  • Apple, other tech companies pledge to continue efforts to meet Paris climate accord

    Excellent. Just because Donnie doesn't understand science, doesn't mean we roll back progress. 
    Science isn't always right. They still can't figure out how much carbon emissions are from humans vs the environment. 
    Who's the 'they' in that statement?  The folks that write right wing blogs?  If you actually did some genuine research you'd find 'they' the scientists of the world actually have a very accurate handle on this.

  • Fall update will bring Continuity- & Universal Clipboard-like features to Microsoft's Wind...

    These features all require me putting my personal information on a Microsoft server.   While I trust Microsoft more than I trust Google, that still ain't sayin' much...
    .
    It's one of, if not the main, reason I use Apple products. 


    Just select the personalization / advanced option during install and keep unchecking every pre-checked box there is, that's what I always do, everything works fine just no Cortana or snooping from MS.

  • Why Apple should cater to 'serious' gamers - and why it probably won't

    I'd rather Apple NOT focus on games. Someone in this world has to get some work done.

    I guess I can make my Mac SE into a real  fish tank now ...  ;)   My two G4s are staying though as I can run  System 9 and even early OS X beta.
    That will still let you connect to the internet via Ethernet, right? How modern of a web browser can you use?
    Do you mean the G4s?  If so in OS 9 yep it can connect and even to Apple updates (of course it says there are none)  but it is stuck with the Mac version of Internet Explorer and can display only gibberish on 99.99% of sites.    As nostalgia creeps in,  I had a network of Macs in the late 1980's early 1990's with TOPs  mail system for about thirty Macs linked across three  remote locations (different cities) using dedicated telephone lines.  It is amazing how long the internet has been with us, I was able to connect to a Disney 'site' on the internet from UK in 1982 using an Apple ][ and a modem, and it had colored images and information about Disney World and the new park EPCOT!  I flew over that year in December to visit EPCOT, the year it opened because of that experience on the net.  How time flies.

  • Samsung's Galaxy S8 facial recognition feature defeated with digital photo

     I assumed this was an April Fools joke but it was posted yesterday so maybe not.  If true it will teach Samsung to wait and copy Apple as usual and not try to innovate, "it’s not in their DNA."  ROFL ...

    Great encore to the exploding trick too!
