  • Intel continues 'go PC' campaign with specious Apple Silicon comparison website

    I'm guessing Intel wants to get a few rabbit punches in before the desktop versions of the M series arrive this year. 
    Exactly.  They are desperate to set the narrative against the M1 on Non-native apps.  If you can get people to believe you at an emotional level, facts in the future will have very little effect on them later...

  • Epson's EcoTank ET-4760 review: a multi-function powerhouse at a steep price

    We have an Epson WF-2860 that uses the standard ink cartridges. If I order the high capacity ink it costs around $100 for the four colors (I tried the cheap aftermarket ink cartridges and they were a disaster). So these EcoTank models look pretty tempting to me and would seem to pay for themselves in short order in the cost of ink alone.
    We made the switch last spring. I couldn’t stand dropping $100 for ink. Every time I thought of upgrading but it’s hard when the printer still works...
    it’s going to pay for itself so fast, I wish I had done it years ago!

  • Facebook preparing to take Apple to court over iOS 14 privacy features

    Sadly, regardless of legal action, this issue will resolve itself in Facebook’s favor. 
    They will simply make a game “answer these 5 questions to find out what flavor cake you are” and before it reveals the answer, you will have to click on a little box opting in to giving unfettered access.  90% of the public will do it ...

  • Apple's AirPods Max likely lacks U1 Ultra Wideband chip

    Seriously Apple , I am a genuine audiophile and understand that you can pay £1000 + Sennheiser HD 800 headphones that are out of this world.  The £500 + price tag is too expensive for most consumers who know that Beats and Bose headphones are great premium headphones in the £300 range. They won’t appeal to professionals who shop in the £1000 + range either.   It’s at a crazy price point, £350 would have put it above the AirPods Pro yet still within reach for people looking for Apple designed headphones. 

    I love Apple products and even defended the Mac Pro price, because it is aimed at a particular market.

    The AirPods Pro sit between two markets and I may be wrong , but I don’t see strong sales, outside or early adopters with money, who just love Apple Stuff. 
    Why do people keep commenting on the price of something that they have never tried. 
    Trying it wouldn’t affect my purchase decision, I am not in the market for any headphones that cost more than $150–i don’t care how awesome. 
    I just don’t see why people take the price/market slot so personally. If it isn’t for you, have some popcorn and wait to see how it sells. There are plenty of options in all price ranges...

  • M1 Macs deliver Apple's first support for USB4

    "M1 Macs with support for both the refreshed new USB4 and compatibility with existing the Thunderbolt 3 devices that Mac users already have" except external GPUs or anyone that uses more than 2 displays.
    These devices are NOT pro devices. These are consumer devices. GPUs? 3+ displays?  For an entry level/low cost device?  
    Get a grip.  Don’t let the eye popping benchmarks fool you, these are not the Apple Si pro machines you are looking for because they are NOT pro machines. (I know the 13 incher says pro, but let’s not let marketing sidetrack the discussion) Wait till Apple releases a 16inch MBP or Mac Pro that has limitations that matter to pros to complain about that.
