I wouldn't say I "love" going to the office but my job, and the jobs of those who work on my projects, pretty much require being at the office. When people do work from home they're operating at about 75% of capacity because they need to rely on people at the office to get them the information...

I'm not sure "seamlessly" is the right terminology. It can do it relatively seamlessly if you know which options to turn on that aren't on by default.

I agree with this take. The very news organizations wanting to get paid for the links all host their own Facebook pages and post links to their news articles. So they're actively putting their content on Facebook and then complaining that they want to get paid by Facebook for the links on the...

I agree. My niece and nephew can use the crap out of their iphone or ipad but the second they can't connect with WiFi they're calling out to Dad ... who's just as useless at fixing as they are. They know how to play the games and use the apps they want to use. They're faster than I am at...

Isn't that exactly what Apple is doing right now in growing their advertising arm in apps (theirs and others)? They want to monetize that data, not by selling the data but to use that data to sell ads. You want to make good money on Apple platforms you'll have to use their advertising system and...

I think your "99.99%" is very optimistic. I see people charging with cables all the time. My brother's whole family only charges with cables. They don't have a single wireless charger in the house despite having four phones with wireless charging capability.

Lots of people remark about how "young people" are so "up" on the new technology. My response is always the same .... "ask them how it works". The vast majority of the kids they're looking at with their "excellent skills" using technology don't have the first clue how any of it works. They know...

All true. On the MSRP item, people got a result in complaining about how selling price wasn't matching MSRP. It wasn't the result they wanted, but it was a result. The end effect is that there will likely be no MSRP. The manufacturer's don't want to take the heat for the retailer and why...

I still miss the old blackberry physical keyboards. I used to send email on my phone far more when I had a blackberry with a physical keyboard than I do now with an iPhone or Android device. That said, the ability to have all that screen space for viewing attachments or other web based media...

Here's my take on work from home. Your mileage may vary. I find different industries / countries / regions / cultures just deal with these issues differently so the expectation that there is a one-size-fits-all answer to work from home is ridiculous. What works in one region / industry may be a...

Yeah, I don't see a lot of room for changes, at least not easily, in what they're showing. That said, if they just 3-D printed the outside shell of a home and then you studded all the interior walls then you'd have a fairly fast build with excellent water proofing properties and then good...

Eh. I see it more as a pre-emptive strike against regulators. They see regulators around the world looking at Apple and Google's storefronts and wanting to regulate them. I see this as Microsoft saying to those regulators "look at us, we'll let anyone in, we don't care" so when they start...

I'm not bent out of shape on game prices. Compared to inflation they're doing quite well. They continue to be extremely great value in a $$ per hour in terms of entertainment.

See, I carry two phones. One iPhone from work and an Android phone for myself. Two reasons from my perspective. One is that the company is horrible at providing new phones. I'm currently using a scratched up iPhone 8 that was used by many others before it got dropped in my lap only last year...

If I was a betting man, I'd bet that most home users never update whatever comes on their computer. If they have Win10 now they'll have Win10 until they replace the machine. When support stops for Win10 they'll keep using it and not care. They barely run windows updates which is why MS started...
