  • Sprint and T-Mobile merger gets federal approval

    titantigertitantiger
    Yep, Sprint wasn't going to make it long term, so one way or the other, we were only going to have 3 major carriers within the next few years.  But this merger is far better than AT&T and Verizon snatching up portions of Sprint and then putting the squeeze on TMobile afterward.

    Full disclosure: I've been with TMo for 2+ years now and been very happy overall, so this will only make it better.

  • Google snubs Apple TV users with Nest login migrations

    Another reason why if Google owns it or I get wind that they will buy it, I refuse to purchase the product.  They can't be trusted - with support or with my data.

    I hold Apple to a higher standard. Do you know why? Because the Apple of 2007-2012 actually cared about that standard. 
    Looking at the Apple leadership team at https://www.apple.com/uk/leadership/
    and I think they are missing a role; Senior VP of Quality.
    Ideally a perfectionist like Steve who regardless of the financial cost to the company will slap down and say “no” to any VP wanting to release hardware/ software/ service that fails to meet Steve’s standards of quality and industry leading perfection. The standards that made Apple unique.
    Ultimately, Tim Cook is to be held accountable for Apple's fall from excellence. Mr. Cook is busy worrying about share price, public expectations, media rants, and SJW causes.
    As for Apple's VPs, they should be held accountable for making sure their personnel understand the Apple ecosystem and how the new product or service fits within it. A hands-on VP should never see a preliminary (much less a final) design that does not logically and aesthetically integrate with other Apple products.
    Mr. Cook has spent years scrambling to come up with the next big thing, while the loyal user stumbles along with poor Cloud services, indecipherable photo management, woefully inept customer support, and on and on.
    Give me a break.  MobileMe, which became iCloud, was a total mess under Jobs.  So was the first few iterations of Apple Maps.  Overall Cook is doing a very good job and Steve Jobs wasn't immune to poor quality software disasters.

  • Kuo: 2020 iPhone will borrow from iPhone 4 metal frame design

    From his lips to God's ears.  I have not been a fan of the curved edge displays since they were introduced with the iPhone 6.  I loved the flat design of the iPhone 4 and 5 and thought the 4 was the best looking iPhone ever made.

    As long as they don't make it the same way where to get into the phone you removed the back panel and to replace the screen basically meant having to take all the innards of the phone completely out.
