    Presumably you get some kind of bulk discount if you're storing 100PB.

    What frustrates me the most is that Apple never admits a mistake. I'm never going to buy an iPhone without a headphone jack, but reinstating the jack on a future model would be adm…

    Any word yet on whether it still has Mini Toslink support?

    I'm no sound engineer, but intuitively the design of the AirPods slightly exacerbates noise cancellation issues by: a) Placing the microphone further from a person's mouth, or at l…

    There's no need to be obtuse. The advanced noise cancelling, pairing, and synchronization tech are solutions to problems that don't exist (or are less pronounced, in the foremost c…

    It's not for lack of effort. I've racked my brains and I simply cannot understand why anyone would prefer these to existing wired or wireless headphones.

    I also prefer in-ear headphones when out and about, so would compare the AirPods to something like the Klipsch S4i [1] Compared to the Klipsch earphones, the AirPods: 1) Are more t…

    Hopefully the delay is a chance for the product designers to go back to the drawing board. I simply cannot fathom why anyone would want to own a pair.

    Is anyone else getting serious connector fatigue? For so long, USB 2.0 with a Type-A connector was the standard. You saw Type-B connectors on printer cables, but the other end alwa…

    Unless you're using private NZB sites with encrypted/obfuscated files, usenet is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Even then, private torrent trackers are better for choice.

    If you're referring to topsites, they are archaic, their rules are outdated, and they optimize for speed over quality of releases. In terms of breadth and quality of content, priva…

    As per the iPhone 7, removing the 3.5mm port would free up a fair amount of internal space, which could be used for other purposes, and ultimately contribute to making the laptop t…

    The 3.5mm port on the MacBook Pro is not just for headphones. It doubles as an S/PDIF connector for outputting digital optical audio, so can be used to feed external DACs or other …

    My use case is similar, and I'm bullish on USB-C improving this mess. At your desk, you just need a dock. Everything you currently connect to your laptop can be connected to that d…
