  • Amazon continues to claim top spot in Harris reputation poll, Apple plummets to 29th

    Amazon continues to play to win while Apple plays it conservatively so as to not lose. It's hard to tell what Apple is getting out of high R&D spending apart from whatever new stuff is going into the iPhone. I
    That's just it...why does Apple have to care what some survey respondents say about the company?  As the richest by cash company in the world, known for setting technological firsts focusing on what today you don't know you need...who cares?  HomePod...lackluster today.  Tomorrow, controlling all your HomeKit devices through your "didn't know you needed it 10 years ago" iPhone.  That's what billions a quarter in R&D does.  Sorry the planting of 1000s of trees at the Apple Park campus didn't appeal to the respondents and get Apple higher than 29 in a Harris survey!

  • New 'Close Your Rings' minisite encourages using Apple Watch Activity app

    I’m addicted to closing all three rings daily. Been working out (cardio 30 min, strength 25-30 min) five days a week for the past three years.  Picked up the series 3 in October and now doing variety exercise workouts on the weekends to get to seven days.  Started at 880 Move calories to close when I got the watch, and now at 1010! Best is total calories. I’m now at 3200 per day so I control my eating at 2250-2500 without any diet at all (but obviously no fast or junk foods), and I’ve dropped 10 pounds in 4 months...really dropped, not just water fluctuations, etc.  Slow and sure is my routine.  Hitting 50 in April and feeling like I’m 35 again!  Love this device!

  • Hands On: Rogue Amoeba's Loopback is the Mac utility every audio user needs

    And how is Audio Hijack compared to LoopBack?  I use AH all the time and the latest major version is sort of a plug and build system.  Plugin the sources into a configuration (graphically) and link the order or priority. Done. Even place audio plugins for sound manipulation on any source in your custom build. Much cheaper than $99.

  • Apple carries first-ever in-store, third-party Wi-Fi router in form of Linksys Velop

    Anybody using Plume?  I considered it but haven’t gone yet to mesh. I’d use my house hardwiring for Ethernet backhauling to maximize the WiFi connectivity for delivery. Just curious about Plume vs the others mentioned here.
