  • Fifth Avenue Apple Store hit with Trump environmental protest graffiti

    What a bunch of idiots, especially using spray paint on a building. Surely they will need to use some chemicals to remove the spray paint now. 
    I can not condone any acts of vandalism. 


    I condone neither vandalism nor the gross stupidity demonstrated in this action by the actor and his adoring fans.

  • Next Apple TV+ dramedy will be 'I'm Glad My Mom Died' starring Jennifer Aniston

    Oooof hope they change that title. Cold as ice.
    And apropos of the subject matter of the book. It's not my idea of entertainment, so it's a pass for me. It looks to be one of those series that Apple does which often gets critical acclaim without much of viewers eyes. There's many people like seeing others misfortunes whether to commiserate or criticize. Even if I don't view the material, I like that Apple does allow projects like this.

  • Redesigned iPhone 17 Pro camera may lead Apple to reposition its logo

    There are a number of areas the logo can move to and fit design standards. 
    For Apple that number is 1.

  • Nearly one million 'Fortnite' users getting FTC refunds for unauthorized charges

    The following scenarios are eligible to apply for a refund:
    • Unauthorized in-game purchases made by a minor using a parent's credit card between January 2017 and November 2018

    What is it about this that merits a refund? How is any website supposed to know if a kid has or doesn't have permission to use Mom or Dad's card? I'm not seeing anything that makes it Epic's fault for accepting these charges.

    It reminds me of the woman years back who did work from home and gave her young child (6yo?) her/an iPad to play with. He was able to spend thousands of dollars on power ups and video games, while her attention was elsewhere. There were parental controls in place that could have prevented the charges. That's aside from giving the kid an iPad and telling him to go play.

    Go away Son. You bother me.

    That might be a tad unfair, but not much. So if unauthorized game purchases by a minor blah blah, are being refunded, what is Epic required to do to prevent this? What now is the parent's role and accountability?

    I'm not talking about parenting in general, but there are many areas and incidents where there are dedicated steps a parent could have taken but didn't, resulting in something bad happening. Like these credit card charges. 

    Hey, I didn't know so I don't owe.

    What a crock.

  • Samsung announces 2025 monitors with preorder discounts of up to $300 off

    The issue with Apple vs other displays is a 27"/5K screen vs a 32"/4K screen. I've got a 27" 5K iMac and love the screen, but for the same money as the ASD, a good 32"/4K screen would be preferable if considering that spec alone.

    I'd like to see Apple make an 32" XDR Lite but that won't happen. 30" is a nonstarter. It's just not enough of a delta with a 27" screen.
