  • French advertisers file complaint over Apple's iOS 14 privacy plan

    Tracking should ALWAYS be an opt in thing. Not just on-line but with credit cards and anything else. I am glad Apple is taking steps. That tracking in any form has somehow become acceptable is just so very wrong.

  • Everything new in iOS 14.2 beta 1 -- updates to Control Center, Watch icon & more

    App Library desperately needs the ability to change folder names and to manually rearrange apps. I like the fact that it is automatic but we need one folder at the top that we can manage. Or at least one that shows frequently used apps and with the ability for us to dictate how many apps will be included in said folder.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook is now a billionaire

    If any ceo deserves it TC does but truth be told nobody is worth 1 billion. It is obscene by any reasonable metric.

    No doubt. But then again, 'easy' is not what they are going for  :D

  • Apple announces new unscripted travel series 'Long Way Up'

     I hope they go into why they went with the HD Livewire over a more established electric motorcycle like Zero, which have more range and seem to be better suited to more difficult roads/two tracks(guessing HD is a sponsor).  It will be interesting how they handle charging in less developed area's.  If they rely on a diesel generator on their chase vehicle its going to be a pretty dumb to refer to these as sustainable.  With their current range they are still more or less city bikes, as I believe the range drops under 100 miles at highway speeds.
    Id be willing to wager my 2016 Bonnie there is a single primary reason they chose the particular bikes they did - money. Once that decision was made and we have all come to terms with the fact that from a straight up motorcycling pov it may not have been the best choice - there is no reason the series shouldn't be great. The question of e-bikes is always interesting and no matter what anybody says I am sure it is the way of the future. How the duo will handle mapping out proper routes in terms of charging will be interesting though I have no doubt that there will be plenty of back-up available, if not along with them then at short notice.
