  • Lenovo intros portable 14-inch ThinkVision M14 USB-C monitor

    So, why attach a 14" monitor to a 14" (give or take an inch) laptop?
    Yeh, I know there are uses for 2 monitors.  But that seems to be limited.

    Lenovo doesn't make too many mistakes.   So, what am I missing here?
    You already said it... to have two monitors -- more screen real estate. I have a 15-inch MBP, but I primarily used it hooked up to an LG 27-inch 4K monitor, so that I can have my Safari browser and Microsoft Word (or any other number of apps) running in portrait mode side by side. I feel so confined when I'm working on "just" my laptop display. 

    If when on the road, I could pull out a second portable monitor to hook up to my MBP, that would be awesome. I'd love the increased productivity. And Lenovo is forever running deals, so I can see this being below $200 not long after launch.

  • Cook confirms iPhone upgrades are on the decline as users 'hang on' to hardware for longer...

    Well duh. I plunked down $1,000 for an iPhone X in November 2017 and there was really no need to upgrade to a iPhone XS -- there was simply not enough of an upgrade to warrant plunking down another $1,000.

    So instead of giving my wife my old phone (like I usually) do, I got a $29 battery replacement to go in her iPhone 7 (80% health) and I had my iPhone X battery replaced as well (even at 88% for another $29). That should keep up going through 2019 and perhaps beyond. The phones work great, so really no need to upgrade unless Apple puts out something truly remarkable this year.

    I did, however, upgrade my Apple Watch Series 2 SS to an Apple Watch Series 4 SS LTE -- now that was like a night and day difference -- WOW!

  • Apple to simplify Safari AutoFill with Touch ID support in macOS 10.14.4

    Face ID needs to come to the Mac yesterday. Fumbling for the power button location doesn’t need any more new use cases. Touch ID just isn’t a good experience on the Mac.  Your hands are already resting on a physical keyboard. Unless you have a really complicated password, it’s almost always more convenient to just type it in. Only Face ID would be superior to this, as it would authenticate before you even realize you need to. 
    If you are still using passwords that are easier to type than moving your finger three inches over to the fingerprint sensor, you’re doing it wrong. 
    BINGO!

    I had to do a double take to make sure this wasn’t April Fool’s Day.

    It would be better if Apple kept their mouth shut on this topic, instead of trotting out numbers that can be interpreted negatively in a big way. It is almost as if Apple is sending out an invite to tech media to troll them now.
    Apple didn't trot the numbers out in public... it was LEAKED.
