  • Apple decision to skip congressional hearing on China draws swift rebuke

    I am for a thorough investigation of ties — especially any less-than-savory ties — between US tech and China, but this sounds like a grandstanding exercise and a fishing expedition.

    Why was Apple the only US tech company called? Moreover, to put Apple on the same platform as TikTok, a silly, 13-year olds’ social-site-du-jour is insulting. Sounds to me like the Congressional equivalent of a cheap click-bait.

  • Spotify says subscriber growth now doubles Apple Music

    I don’t stream so I use neither, but anecdotal evidence from the past many months from co-workers and family members (and their friends) does seem to favor Spotify.

  • Apple increases orders for iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro

    I think there has been some "pre-ponement" of buying in anticipation of the Oct 15 tariffs (which again may go up further in December). For example, two people in my family, who might have normally waited for Christmas, decided to get theirs early.

    And, both of them sprung for the 11

  • Hands on: Titanium Apple Watch Edition Series 5 is worth the extra cost

    I've had the black aluminum Nike model both in Series 2 and Series 4....I am a personal trainer and spend 8-10 hours in a gym banging it around. Has yet to show a scratch. 

    I've seen a few youtube videos that people say the titanium looks a little cheap and to the average on-looker they won't know the difference between the aluminum vs the titanium. I'm not a fan of the light gray aluminum as I think it looks cheap.

    Im thinking of getting the silver stainless steel for the premium look. Would love to hear anyone's opinion with their experience...
    I’ve had the silver stainless steel twice (currently have the black stainless steel which is even more beautiful), and I can say that both of those Watches served me very well. Almost no scratches at all on either. And quite classy looking.

  • NBC 'Peacock' streaming service expected in 2020 with 15,000 hours of content

    Yay, yet another streaming service... Can never have too many of these damned things, right?  :| How many subscriptions can you collect?
    Let’s see now. CBS, NBC, Disney, HBO (and competitors), Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Amazon Prime, Spotify/AppleMusic/Amazon, various sundry sports channels (NFL Gamepass, MLB, NBA), high-speed internet, mobile plan... what am I missing. 

    And this just the beginning. How laughably stupid can these people get?

    I think I’ll just keep my Xfinity and not worry about all this nonsense.
