Re: Apple’s US Education Store now requires institution verification to buy discounted products

AJ — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 15:37:01 -0000

For the past several years I've been using my Veterans status to use the military discount Apple offers. You need to go through VerifyMe in order to be verified, then are redirected to Apple's site for purchasing.

Re: Your smartphone is making you stupid, antisocial and unhealthy. So why can’t you put it down?

AJ — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:12:24 -0000

My kids love their hand me down iPhones - on the weekends. Sometimes they can't put it down. But sometimes they do put them down without prompting them, to play with each other or do other things like draw or build. I don't think they are addicted, but simply occupying their time. I'm sure if I gave them a Nintendo Switch or PS4 they'd be on there as well.

Re: One thing Google’s Pixel offers that Apple doesn’t

AJ — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 13:28:13 -0000

This reminds me when Gmail became available and was touted as "unlimited". It hurt other competitors - like Yahoo! where I worked at the time. I'm not sure it's enough to push people to buy the Pixel, but it is a good selling point.

Re: Apple in talks to buy Tidal music service

Why can't they do both at the same time - work on what is already there while also trying to buy a flailing platform?

Re: Noise complaints and secret doings at Apple Sunnyvale facility

AJ — Fri, 19 Feb 2016 12:30:20 -0000

If you know or look at a map of the area, there are mostly businesses down that street, and it is off of an expressway! Unless the noise is super loud I don't see how it can be as bothersome as the neighbors say.

8/9. Darn.

Re: Highlights from Dr. Dre's 'Compton' | EW.com

AJ — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 02:55:54 -0000

Haven't heard the whole album, but when Dre says, "when a rapper needed guns way more than a stylus” couldn't he be referring to the stylus of a record player? You know, the needle? Would make more sense to me.

One of the shows I'm looking forward to this fall. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Great news! Good cause.

Isn't that the Internet in general though?

People voted with their wallets. Simple as that.

Re: Sprint iPhone to be a “multibillion dollar gamble,” says WSJ

I'm never going back to Sprint, but good to know choice of carriers is expanding.

Re: GQ’s New iPad App: Better, But Not by Much

AJ — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 19:28:15 -0000

I really want to subscribe to GQ on the iPad. But if they continue this $4.99 a pop with no in-app subscription purchase, then I'll subscribe to the paper version. Too bad.

"Oh Grandma Lita, it's a video of me and Nana. You should be able to click on the picture to start the video. Miss you and Grandpa. See you soon," says Mia.

Will Gianfranco Lanci resign in 2-3 years if his prediction doesn't come to pass?

Re: Mia and Roseola

She cried a little. I think mostly out of hunger.

"Grandma, it looks worse than it is. It's not itchy. The people in daycare just don't like the way it looks," says Mia.

One of my favorite Counting Crows songs. Way better than "Mr. Jones"

Re: Mia Takes a Bath

AJ — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 18:01:53 -0000

Hi Grandma,

Actually, it was pretty hot yesterday. It was nice taking a warm bath, especially after the long day I had at daycare. Mom makes sure I stay warm when she's bathing me.

Miss you. Love you.

Mia

Re: Android Is As Open As The Clenched Fist I’d Like To Punch The Carriers With

All I know is my iPhone does what I want it to do, open or not.

Re: Six Apart’s Vox Heads To DeadPool

AJ — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:34:00 -0000

Had my blog there once. Like any other social network/blogging platform, it's good when people are there. But the people I knew left in droves several years back.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab preview

I'm just wanting to know how much does it cost and how long is the battery life?

Thank you for your mini review. My wife and I are interested in the camera portion of the new iPhone. It seems when our new baby is doing "something" the only camera we have readily available is an iPhone.

Looks like it's time to upgrade!

They're mighty full, aren't they? I guess she takes after both Farrah and I.
