  • As you may expect, the internet already says that Apple's headset is doomed, apparently

    If someone isn’t interested in the concept of VR or AR, that is fine.  But anyone who gives their opinion on a product based on the design, features, or price of a product before those details are even known is an absolute moron.

    The internet has allowed morons to share their moronic thoughts with others.  The ones that listen turn into morons themselves.  This is the real pandemic — welcome to the internet:  home of the moron flu.
    Right now I am not interested, and doubt I will be. But then I said that about AirPods.  Until I tried them.  My partner said that about AirPods. Until she tried them.  So you just never know. As Steve Jobs once said, “It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.”

    Doomed like the iPhone is. We know as genius Steve Balmer said it’s too costly, will never sell much.  Fortunately Microsoft released the Microsoft Kin and Microsoft’s phones took over the world.  As did their tablets.  Oh wait...

  • Comparing the 2018 MacBook Air with the less-expensive 2017 model

    kiowavtkiowavt
    Beware.  I moved from a MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM to the 2018 Air with 16GB RAM.  I love everything but the fan running constantly and the incredible lag time now on doing certain things even if only a few applications are open.  It’s SLOW.  It gets bogged down when it should not. Not sure why, and not enough to make me go back, but shocking considering my girlfriend has an older MacBook Air and the performance seems at least equal and the fan runs less.  With more pixels comes greater power needed to deliver to them I guess, saps the system maybe?  Anyway, I love it, but am surprised by the underpowered feel.

  • The top seven MacBook Air features that make the 2018 model great

    kiowavtkiowavt
    I own one. Keyboard does seem better than my MacBook Pro which had so many keyboard issues Apple finally replaced it. And the larger trackpad is a mixed bag. I had to give up on the MacBook Pro as a tiny graze of the trackpad would delete things or move the cursor to a new place. Has happened only a few times so far with the new Air, but I had an Air years back and never had that. Finally the fan. So far, for me, runs 100% of the time. Pretty loud. I have tried closing apps, etc, but now just try to tune it out.

  • New HomePod, 'AirPods 2,' death of 3D Touch all expected in 2019

    kiowavtkiowavt
    I turned 3D Touch off. More annoying than useful. There are so many fans here I may try it again. But at this point I will not even blink if it’s gone.
