    Apple is fortunate that their competition focuses on the wrong things...

    Apple's tiny AirPods are turning in mighty big numbers and the demand still exceeds supply. After using them for over a year I now know why.

    I see people of all ages wearing them.....EVERYWHERE! These are a huge success for Apple. 
    I was in NYC for the last few days, and AirPods were indeed *everywhere*!!  I could not believe how many people I saw wearing them (this is a city where a lot of people were ear buds of some kind).  Walking in th street you easily saw 5-10 persons per minute wearing them. 

    I think they were close to the number with the default white EarPods.  

    Sorry haters - AirPods appear to be a tremendous success...probably the most successful Apple product accessory in history...

  • Tested: Apple's patch fixes the thermal slowdowns in the 2018 i9 MacBook Pro

    Sorry, but I don't believe it.  I read on the Internet that Apple's MBP design isn't capable of reaching the target clock speeds, and that is all I need to know.  A YouTube blogger clearly knows more about this than Apple.  No doubt Apple has already silenced him....

  • Google's Pixel Android strategy is destroying HTC the same way Moto X gutted Motorola

    Google will keep iterating and will slowly gain share.  This is typical Google MO.   They took years and years before Chrome became a thing and now completely dominates.   Google alway comes late and when people think the segment is dead and wins the space.

    Laptops the same way.  Google Chromebooks in 2018 grew 50% yoy while Mac sales peaked in 2015 and Windows years ago.  Only one growing is Chromeboiks but took years.  Same with K12 for Google and now over 64% share in the US.

    Even search took a while as well as Gmail.  The only over night success that comes to mind is the Google WiFi.  It has taken 18 months for the Google home to over take the Alexa devices.

    Guess the other they will lead from the beginning and would guess keep it is self driving cars.   But in most cases Google comes late and takes years to domintate.
    You know that Google doesn't sell the VAST majority of Chromebook units into education, right?  Google produced a high end Chromebook that had few sales.  The low cost Chromebooks in education are sold by PC vendors.  Google makes no revenue off these sales...though it is of course useful at obtaining young new users for their services.
