  • Comparing Apple's HomePod versus the Fluance Fi70 speaker

    Yup, I can just see the massive Fluance speaker sitting on a kitchen counter. And if you need to ask Siri for something, you can just pull out your iPhone (as long as you have it with you).

    Better idea: instead of comparing the Fluance to the HomePod, compare it to a high end amplifier/receiver with a 7.1 Dolby surround speaker system. That comparison would make more sense.

    These analysts are ALWAYS wrong!

    If, as you say, analysts are always wrong... Then everybody would be billionaires by just doing the opposite of what any analyst recommends.

    But in reality saying "analysts are ALWAYS wrong!" is an untruth. The fact is that some analysts have better records of providing accurate analysis than others. Analysts prognosticate based on available data, and in general, they are neither right all of the time nor are they wrong all of the time.

  • Ralph Nader once again assails Apple's stock buybacks

    "It could have been used — two percent of it to double the income of the serf laborers, 1.3 million Chinese laborers in the contractor that builds the iPhones." Nader doesn't realize that Apple is a customer of its foreign suppliers. It's like admonishing customers of McDonald's for not increasing the wages of McDonald's employees.

  • How to play music using your Mac's keyboard with GarageBand's Musical Typing

    "Apple included Musical Typing, which allows users to use their Mac's keyboard as a makeshift musical keyboard, assigning different keys to notes."

    It would be great if someone came out with colored (removable) stickers for the keyboard, to match the colors in the Musical Typing window.

  • Where is Apple's innovative iPad, MacBook Pro hardware to rival Microsoft's Surface?

    Microsoft's products are only "innovative" on the surface (pun intended). They are products that try to be different, but without any consideration to whether that difference is warranted or even useful. Microsoft's computer products look "interesting" at first glance, but they pale in productivity and usefulness compared to personal computers from Apple and other manufacturers (especially when you compare products in the same price range or lower). Toss in the added disadvantages of Microsoft's piss-poor product reliability and support, and it explains why sales of Microsoft's Surface computers have been so anemic.
