  • Microsoft's Cortana heading to Xbox One, will take on Apple's Siri in the living room

    Forget Cortana. Did anyone get an invite for the Pied Piper beta?

  • Apple.com hosts tribute to late boxer Muhammad Ali

    You: Racist whiner. (and stock market loser) :)

    No he's not. 

    Ali was racist. There is no dispute. But he wasn't in your face about it. 

    There the was nothing good about Nation of Islam either. 

    And cheating on your wife is bad. Ali did that too. 

    As as a person, everything be has good and bad. Ali had a lot of his good and bad known because he was a public figure. 

    To to me he was a man fortunate to make a name for himself and a lot of money in sports. I can't think of anything he did to actually help people at large. 

    But it he was larger than life, was not free funny and provided people with tremendous entertainment. 

    Hes left behind a family, some of whom ARE trying to help people at large and 

    hes he's now gone. And it's polite to pay respect. But he was simply a man, faults and all. No reason to pretend otherwise. 

    That said, I see no reason for anyone to point out his faults at this time as its very sensitive to his family and loved ones. No more than we'd like folks to do it to our family members when they pass on. 
    It's pretty easy to hate those that hate and oppress you.

  • Apple TV won't get Amazon Prime Video until Apple agrees to 'acceptable business terms'

    Since Apple doesn't charge developers a cent to have their video subscription services on AppleTV, we can see Amazon's idea of "acceptable business terms", involves either handing over iTunes account information or paying Amazon a stipend. 
    It's stupid.. if they don't want to sell content with the cut to Apple why don't they just do what they've done for YEARS on iOS and make it only for streaming Prime Video and accessing your Amazon Video library.. probably because it will make the Fire TV more useless than it already is!
    That theory might hold water if Amazon Video wasn't on every other streamer. It's on  Roku,  smart TVs of every brand, Blu ray players that have built in steamers, and the gaming consoles.

  • No warrant needed to obtain location data held by cellphone carriers, US court rules

    Yes but who exactly has access to this location information? Can the local cop or any  low level government official simply look up my cell phone number and track me?
    They would have to contact the carrier and get it from them.
