  • Second class action suit targets Powerbeats Pro battery life, charging issues

    I experience this issue every few weeks, and it’s related to the design of the case and how the headphones magnetically seat in there. It feel like this could be improved if the case had a light to indicate that each headphone was seated correctly, or alternatively a better mechanism for making electric contact. The other issue I have is that as they don’t have a power off button. If I don’t have the case with me (which happens when I run home from work) then overnight the charge depletes from 80% to zero, and require charging before their next use. It seems that it would be easy to incorporate a long press to turn them off completely and save battery.

  • How we ended up with the 'Pregnant Man' Emoji

    It probably should be called “pregnant woman dressed as a man” (which is effectively male misappropriation) as we all know that it is scientifically impossible for a male to become pregnant.

  • Steve Jobs introduced the first MacBook Pro 16 years ago

    I still think 'MacBook' is a dumb name -- 'PowerBook' and 'iBook' were better names. 
    “PowerBook” is too generic, and hard to protect as a brand. At least MacBook say exactly what it is, and keeps the Mac brand in the forefront. That said, the naming conventions are interesting. Typically more, the iNames are for the iOS devices (iPad, iPhone) MacBook is for portable running macOS but then iMac, is kind of a hybrid name, and likewise MacPro. And of course AppleTV is different again. Perhaps they should be ApplePhone, AppleBook, ApplePad, ApplePro, AppleTV, ApplePods!  Maybe not. It certainly is a mixture of iNames, Pro’s, Mac, Power, Air, and Pods, but perhaps that’s not really a problem!

  • Canon ink cartridges become an unexpected chip shortage victim

    The ink/toner deferred profit model which Canon, Epson, Brother etc.  use, should have been stopped years ago. Its simply irresponsible and environmentally absurd. If it is cheaper for me to buy a brand new printer (with included ink) than it is to buy a few cartridges of ink, then something is wrong. This results in people simply throwing printers away when they run out of ink, buying a whole new printer, to save money. Time these companies were called out for their price fixing and environmental damage.
