Is it just me (always possible!) or does this roundup make this year's WWDC seem more like "housekeeping" as opposed to some real reno work or getting new furniture? Not that any of the above is bad, not at all, lots of little welcome changes, but i…

I really wish Apple would release data on how many people are actually using its self-repair options. Would love to know what tiny fraction of 1% all of this "right to repair" legislation is designed to serve, although I'm sure the Radio Shack and H…

It appears your Boox screen is set to grayscale... at least I hope that's the case! Some actual color shots would be nice. But as my beloved Kindle Oasis battery dips below 90% capacity, and with Amazon innovation and QC on new Kindles seemingly i…

I somehow missed the Gruber article when it came out, but just went back and read it. I can't say that I found it rude, per se, and in fact, the vast majority of it was just recounting 'facts on the ground" about which there is no dispute. However, …

AppleZulu said: In a nutshell, this explains why Apple is “behind” with AI, but actually isn’t. Indeed. No doubt that Apple is "behind" in the technosphere press and comment boards like this one for the tech obsessed (and I include mysel…

I'm a fan. Clean, simple, Ends the mishmosh of different numbers for MacOS, WatchOS and iOS/iPadOS. And while we're simplifying: Stop naming each year's new MacOS. A number is enough. I can never remember which CA locale is this year's MacOS. Do …
