  • Hands on: Bose's speaker-equipped Frames sunglasses for the iPhone

    Looks like a complete waste of money. Consider just investing that $200.

  • Apple's iPad is the king of a declining European, Middle Eastern tablet market

    Quite simply the iPad puts all Android tablets to shame. Android has yet to be optimized for tablets and apps look like crap scaled up. The $50-$100 tablets you find on street corners and in the Dollar Store don’t even count.
    The iPad has a long way to go, that said, I 100% agree with your statement. I had an Android tablet for awhile, a high end 2014 Samsung note 10.1, and it was garbage other than the screen and pen. Slow and the apps were useless, most of the time just phone apps scaling up to tablet screen size, often still leaving black areas of the screen. Disliked the screen ratio too. It was crap unless you just watch movies. My 4 year year old iPad 2 was better. 

    If theres anywhere I’d rather have Apple or nothing, it’s the iPad and Apple Watch. Just not a fan of Apple’s desktops.

  • Bose to follow up QC35 line with Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 in late June

    I thought 350$ was ridiculous.  I almost got the Sony XM3s for 299 shipped a couple weeks ago but that’s a load for headphones.

  • Tim Cook tells Tulane University grads that 'my generation has failed you'

    Regarding climate change and one’s carbon footprint. Does Tim Cook drive an electric vehicle? Does Time Cook use public transportation to get to work? When he flies to China does Tim Cook travel coach on a common carrier or does he fly in the Apple corporate jet? Or is he the same kind of hypocrite that Al Gore is with his three mansions and private jets? You see, this is the kind of thing we peasants wonder about. When the BIG changes the climate advocates want are implemented will the elites still travel in luxury or will they be squeezed into mass transit cigar tubes like the rest of us will be? When we peasants are reduced to rationed heating and cooling will theTim Cooks of the world still be nice and cool in their mansions? Don’t squawk about renewable clean energy when there’s absolutely no hope of that energy source ever catching up with the exponential growth of energy demands. Nuclear Fusion is still a pipe dream that’s been promised for the last sixty years at least with no commercial reactor in sight.
    In my mind, this is exactly it, you are 100% correct. I hope we continue to invest heavily in fusion, who knows what we will find. 

    But the the sad truth is, until we can plateau and maybe even decline our world population, we are chasing a moving target we will never meet. Same is true for world hunger. Technology and advanced methods are the only reasons we’ve made it this far.

    The Democrats are like a herd of cats. I've been one long enough to know. They aren't "playing" this at all.

    As regards China, thou doth protest too much, methinks. China is so very, very far from being a true competitor to the US and the "free world" it isn't even a joke. Yes, they're pirates. In the larger scheme of things, that's their main weakness, and the only way they can get out of that box is to free their people. Anyone see that about to happen?

    (The following is Off Topic, and possibly this post will get removed by the editors. Hope you get to read it before that happens.)

    You and I are both intelligent enough to know what I mean by long game versus short game, and the inherent problem with playing the short game.

    I'm 73 years old. Once upon a time, I thought of Republicans as the Noble Opposition. That went by the wayside a while back, but never quite so deeply into the weeds as it now has. Why? Because they've played the short game, and then the even shorter game, and now the even shorter game, searching out any and all ways to get the votes to give them power. To do what? Give power to the crazies?

    I don't say that all Republicans are unprincipled. I have too many Republican friends to think that. But their party has sold its soul to the devil for a mess of pottage, to the point where they are no longer even close to being the party of fiscal conservatism they once were and that I once admired. How bad is it? It's so bad that the Democrats are now the fiscal conservatives!

    I call myself a Democrat and a liberal, but a few decades back I was a moderate. And I really haven't changed. Kind of says it all....
    I agree with your statements in general about the repblican party but to say the democratic party is any different is either ignorance or arragance or both. 

    Oh, please. This from the person who can't spell "republican" or "arrogance"....
    Good Lord. I was at a brisk walking pace in between sprints, typing on an iPhone. It’s pretty clear they were typos.
