  • Apple stock hits new record high after Apple Intelligence reveals

    Watched the price go down during yesterday's keynote (Apple is doomed!) and then wondered how big the bounce would be today. As it turns out, pretty darn big. My stock account thanks you.

  • Netflix is finally killing off support for 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TVs

    Still happily watching a 25-year-old CRT TV with a digital converter. During commercials I get a beverage from my 55-year-old refrigerator, which soldiers on without complaint. The forced obsolescence of basically new hardware for something as mundane as watching TV is ridiculous.
    If you're still on a CRT you clearly do not care about the quality of your image.
    It's not that I don't care; it's a case of diminishing returns. The CRT with digital signal is perfectly acceptable. It's like the audiophile world: The best sound doesn't equate with the best musical performance.
    Technology changes since then are hardly forced obsolescence.
    No, they're not, and, if I want to get the very best in cutting-edge tech, I have no objection to that requiring that I buy cutting-edge devices. I do object to extorting me to buy new equipment to continue to get the service that already works fine.

  • How to connect just about any vintage Mac to a modern monitor

    I feel somehow as though one of the main purposes of this article was to be able to use those great stock photos of old Macs ... and I'm totally OK with that. :D

  • Apple users are keeping their iPads for a very long time

    Still using my iPad mini ... my original iPad mini with cellular. Biggest complaint is web designers who build unnecessarily complicated pages (mostly to serve ads) which that version of Safari can't handle. Email, Facetime, YouTube all still OK.
