  • Tim Cook donates $2M to unnamed charity

    Do we really need to know this? Is it the Tim Cook insider show??? Let the guy give privately and keep it professional and focused on Apple! Very disappointing that you can’t respect his privacy.

  • Tim Cook says Japan's Seiko Advance is why there's a Midnight Green iPhone

    Took the phone out of the box and put on a glass protector and put it in the case I had ordered. Just took it out now to look at this green color for the first time and then put it back in the case. I tried going commando with my X once and broke the glass in a few weeks so won’t be doing that again ...

  • Elcomsoft tool can seize partial keychain from locked iPhones on iOS 13.3

    So Apple can just buy a version of the tool and write code to fix it? $1,500 is a trivial price to pay.

    Geekbench benchmarks are in.

    Those stats are showing that the 8-core, 12-core, and 16-core Mac Pro processor, the entry and mid-range builds, are performing very similarly to the two-year-old 2017 iMac. If you already have an iMac and planning on cheap-ing out with an entry-point Mac Pro build expecting better performance over what you have you might rethink it. 
    Must be that they are not using a highly secretive piece of test software that is 10+ years old that can’t be discussed except to tell people to trust them on it!😁 Come to think of it I wonder if it is Shiller’s “innovating” ass? 😂 I digress. Disappointing of true but as you move up it seems to be a very powerful machine. I never buy a first gen Apple whatever so will wait at least a year till the next version comes out and some of the possible issues are resolved. Till then the iMacs work really well for us.

  • AT&T starts actual 5G rollout in ten markets -- but without mmWave

    Thanks for the links @"avon b7" The big advantages then seem to be on the backend for companies (lower latency, better coverage etc) and an internet chip in everything so what little privacy we have will be hacked or sold by Google! So far in my house the IoT has given us a doorbell, light controller, a thermostat, a roomba controller, Alexa and a fridge from Samsung with the promise that I can look inside to see what I need to buy when shopping (how many have ever really done that?). Certainly some small conveniences but not the next industrial revolution. I remain open to ideas but largely unconvinced that I really need it.
