  Leading up to Apple's World Wide Developer Conference, I wrote a piece over at Ethervision.net on what we should expect.  Check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks!  

Yesterday, March 21st, Apple came out with some new products. Early in the day, Apple shut down the online Apple Store saying it would be down until 5am Pacific Time.  This is usually a good clue that new products are arriving.  Shortly after 5am the store was back up and running with little to no… Continue reading Apple’s Quiet Release →

When Apple announced the AirPods back in September 2016, I wasn't impressed.  They were Apple's current EarPods with the cable cut off.  At least that was my impression. Maybe I was blinded by the new iPhone 7 and the new Apple Watch Apple announced as well.  But I just was not excited for these.  At… Continue reading Apple AirPods – Unexpectedly Great →

Aye yi yi...iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.  My decision between these two have been so back and forth, it has been driving me insane. For the previous two iPhone launches, I stuck with the smaller 4.7-inch devices.  For me, the iPhone 6 was underwhelming coming from the 5s. I don't know what it was about… Continue reading iPhone 7 Plus Thoughts →

I feel like I have to explain my Apple fascination when talking to those who have never used such device.  I have an iPhone (of course), iPad Air 2 (watching Supergirl,above), Apple Watch Series 2, 2012 MacBook Pro and an Apple TV all of which I use pretty consistently.  The thing I love about Apple… Continue reading Why Apple? →
