  • Tim Cook opens doors at Apple's Fifth Avenue flagship store [u]

    Can AI add to the piece with some history?  Wasn't the original Glass Cube made of many panes of glass (biggest avail per technology), then when tech got better, it was re-glassed with bigger panes?

    If I'm seeing the image correctly, it's 3 panes per side now?  Amazing.

    Three years from now, single panes per side!  It will be so cool they won't interrupt a pane for a door, and they'll hog out a Bilco-Door through the sidewalk!

    E.
    A history of the store and cube would be nice. It looks like the sides were 3 pieces high and 6 pieces wide with the roof being 6×6.
    I agree, but since AI moved to Quiller Media (well, Hudler actually) the history of links is all gone. And the search function doesn't really do much. On top of that the guy who 'did' ifoapplestore dot com passed away.

  • How to take a screenshot on a Mac - the comprehensive guide


    You can't use the menus to take a screen grab, you can solely use a keyboard shortcut.
    Of course you can. You think Apple wouldn't think of that? It's in Preview, the obvious place to look:

  • Apple Watch vs Fitbit Versa: which fitness tracker watch is right for you?


    In two years Garmin will no longer make smart watches. And most likely shopping their IP to be bought out or go bankrupt. 2018 Net Income: - $694 million. It's imploding.
    Hmm, awkward post. When I look at their ticker I see they went up from $19 in Dec '08 to $79 now. Their watch lineup is more populair than ever. They are the #1 in the world for sport devices. Expanding their product line, expanding their IP portfolio (Dynastream!)

    After 30 years, not 'imploding'.

  • If you think Tim Cook is 'robbing' you, then so was Steve Jobs

    Setting this report aside, we can also look at what has changed:

    First iPhone came with a dock. That later became a $30 accessory, today it's $49, with the only change being the colour.
    The CCK came with a SD Card reader plus a USB adapter. Sold for $30. Today still being sold for $30, but per adapter, doubling the price.
    Replacing the glass used to be $60, then $90, then $229, then came the iPhoneX: $550 to replace the glass.

    Obviously things have changed, especially with the glass/displays. But what all seemed 'reasonable' now come across as greedy to some...and these folks will likely be very sincere in their believes. Possibly even 'right'.
