    This is the only show I finish watching in ATV+. I really love it. Not that other is bad, just not very interested me.

    Hope companies are more willing to invested in science fiction series than dragon series. 
    I am waiting for Asimov’s Foundations. 
    Hope Apple get's it 'right', whatever that is. Foundation can be a little slow at times and understandably anachronistic. In a short segment that I have seen, I noticed a gender change in one character, which is good to see.

  • Intel-based iMac refresh will launch in the next week, leakers claim

    No one wants this outdated look anymore.  Zero interest in paying Apple prices for a 2012 design.
    If they're there, they'll sell. I sell Macs at an AASP and plenty of people want the iMac. Our channel has been dry as all get out and I have had to beg borrow and barter to get them, because of WSFH and a lot of people's older 2009-2011 iMacs starting to age out. Older folks like the large screens on the 27", more traditional users like them, and they have larger storage drives.

     Check your ego.  You do not represent others.  

    I plan on buying one this year regardless of how it looks.  We can certainly argue a design being “outdated”, but at least the current iMac’s design is the most elegant compared to the competition.

    My 2009 27" i7 iMac is taking forever (not literally) to boot and log me in but is reliable with it's 8 GB RAM and 3 TB drive. I'm in the market this year and even though I'm not an Intel fan I'm not stressed about buying close to an Apple silicon release. Regarding design, not fussed there either, however, if Apple went to a slimmer design similar to my system, which is old enough for many not to be familiar with it, systems might catch the eye.

  • Testing Apple Watch sleep tracking on watchOS 7 & iOS 14

    What is next? Toilet tracking? No, thanks! I know how to sleep. Not much to it, really. Have been doing it every day for the last 58 years. I find it sad that some people believe that they need (or even want) this...
    So, the whole point to this post is to criticise others. You have a right to your opinion. I've tracked my sleep for years and have found changes interesting.
    Good for you.

    Most of Apple’s health programme is geared around prevention, and sleep tracking is no exception. Lots of physical and mental health problems can be traced to lack of sleep. 
    It is quite straight forward to find reputable information, in this example, from Harvard medical School - https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/sleep-and-mental-health. Adequate sleep happens to be something I struggle with and welcome assistance in understanding my circumstances.
