It started when I accidentally hit "add a caption" to a picture on my phone. It produced my image, only with my dachshund's body outlined and identified as a dachshund. So photo recognition software is going into my photos and identifying things, great. (I wonder how it would react to human...

Is anyone else planning to get one of the new iMacs unveiled last Tuesday? My very first Mac was a purple iMac, a G3 model I bought in the Year 2000. I'm planning to get a purple M1 iMac for the end of next month. The new Apple Silicon chips are meant to be marvellous, and having a purple iMac...

Just announced that they are selling new unlocked iPhone SE for cheap. https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/clearance/iphone

Maybe a new consolidated thread now that the even is over, and the new phone and OS are out ? Here is some bad update news: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/24/6839235/apple-ios-8-0-1-released Apple releases iOS 8.0.1, users report major problems with update Apparently breaking touchid and cell...

Tech giants at work, stifling innovation and finding ways to siphon money without producing anything of value... http://www.dailytech.com/Apple+and+Microsoft+Expand+Patent+Trolling+Sue+TWC+Cisco+via+Subsidiary/article33987c.htm

Apple avoids taxes with ‘complex web’ of offshore entities, Senate inquiry finds I'm pretty sure it's not just Apple that is guilty of this, but this story is about Apple in particular, which is one of the largest, most valuable, and most profitable companies in the world, so I think it...

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/09/with-amazon-in-its-sights-barnes-noble-announces-new-nook-tablets/ Barnes & Noble has updated its Nook tablet lineup ahead of the holiday season, and like Amazon its traditional 7" product is being joined by a larger 9" version. These tablets, dubbed the...

Apple v. Samsung has been described by various tech bloggers as "the patent trial of the century". Apple has filed for $2.525 billion in damages from Samsung, and this week, Apple released a table and four charts detailing each alleged violation and the damages they expect. It's an interesting...

I was thinking they could buy out MS, but ironically that might be blocked by anti-monopoly laws. Even at the low inflation rates of 2% per year that cash is a $2 billion/year loss for the company in the balance sheet. What to buy, what to invest in? Personally, I think they should just...

So... My MacBookPro of about 5 years just died (and died hard, nothing but the superdrive spins up on pressing the power stud). So I got an iMac (a bit overdue). However, my TimeMachine will not back-up to the new machine because it's version is not supported in the newest Mac OS. Also, the...

Well it's not specific to an iMac. Last night there was a big thunderstorm and lightening struck nearby. When I tried to get on the net this morning, I noticed the modem was dead. I tried another modem (and another ethernet cable) but couldn't connect to the internet, even the modem looked fine...

All knowing Leader whose demise would signal the end of it all. Fanatical followers who seem to be deluding themselves more and more. The continued extortion of money in order to "belong" and get "the answers." Ridicule of those not already converted. Promise of protection for those that...

Not being much of an Apple user, I was wondering how it stacked up to Microsoft. Thoughts?

I've decided that my next laptop is going to be a 13" MacBook Pro. I haven't used a Mac for about twenty years. The first computer I ever used (apart from the TRS-80, which I don't think counts) was a Macintosh. This was in 1986. My school had two computer labs - one with Macs (the 512k and...

from: Daily Telegraph Can this work? "We give users the ability to see and feel non-ionizing radiation." Sounds a bit like woo to me.

I've got an Apple Xserve that had two 1TB drives in it marked as a single 1TB RAID1 array. I was running out of space so I swapped out the drives for 2TB drives. Unfortunately the RAID volume isn't seeing the extra space. The RAID Set does show the extra space, the individual drives show...

"Windows 7 'took ideas' from Apple" (And please lets not get into any mac v pc, Apple v Microsoft fanboy crap.) I've been using Windows 7 as my main PC's OS since it was released and my secondary PC is a Mac running OS/X and I have to say I really can't see what MS is meant to have borrowed...

There's an article in the Telegraph about an apple which is half red and half green. They say it's a very rare mutation. I think that nature very rarely creates straight lines or, emulates planes in oval objects. Knives, on the other hand, do that quite often. So does duct tape. I have two...

Question, I want to try out some software on my spanking new Macbook. (I'm new to mac) A friend has given me some programs he has downloaded (graphical software and video editing software). I want to give these programs a try before I buy (or find a free alternative, if I can). Is this...

I'm brand new to the Mac world. I just got a Macbook Pro and I'm looking for recommendations from the Mac supporters around here. What are the must-have programs, utilities, web sites, accessories, etc.? While I bought the Macbook to try and write software for the iPhone / iPod Touch I'm also...

So what's everyone's prediction for MacWorld Expo 2008, which takes place in the middle of January, and is anyone excited about it? As far as I can see, we should expect the following: 1: A sub-notebook which uses flash memory instead of a HDD. 2: A new model of the iPhone, with 3G and a few...

Wow. Just Wow. This is an awesome machine. This is more like a mockup of what some futuristic machine ought to be than a real machine; It is much too perfect in every way. The screen is bright and amazingly clear, even with teeny-tiny text. The interface is intuitive. The touchscreen...

http://www.apple.com/macosx/ Leaping even further ahead of Windows.

I've tossed Windows and moved to a Mac. Where has this been all my life? I think I'm in love.

"The first 30 years were just the beginning. Welcome to 2007." It's a good thing they're not building up expectations. You still have a few hours left to get in your predictions. iPhone - Yes or No? iTV - what's the deal? Beatles on iTunes? Steve usually keeps a few secrets truly secret...

The new Apple store apparently resembles a similar structure in Mecca known as the Ka'ba. Now Muslims want a lock on cube designs. What's next?

So, I was stuck with only a bad lense...I'm expecting good photos from the pros that came! First off, a BIG thank you to everyone for bringing STUFF! Food, cheese, bread, wine, beer, more food..... I met some new friends, and got to catch up with old friends! We laughed a LOT! REbecca...
