Apple Products, iOS Updates and iPhone Discussions

Thought I would mention to stay away from that Crystal ad block. It was the biggest seller until the man announced that he would allow companies to be added to his white list to display ads. Stupid move on his part. So there are others. I went with Blockbear since they are the same people that I use for my VPN.
How are you liking the ad blocking? I use Private Internet Access for VPN. So far its been inexpensive and worked flawlessly across platforms, iOS, Mac, Windows, etc...

 
I'm serious I think I am done with PCs for the most part, in the future I will be buying a MAC.
 
You guys do know that you can run Windows easily in a Mac right with either using Bootcamp or Parallels. I remember when @ndboarder use to be into Macs.

They have nice hardware, and it can run Windows. That said, from my experimenting days and owning one, parallels isn't ideal. Bootcamp works, but then you have to split your drive between the two - one or the other likely may not be big enough. The OS X portion that I ever used I could never get completely used to or comfortable with - plus other than to play around with OS X it was only good for a bit of web browsing or checking email.

IMO there is plenty of equally as nice hardware on the market today and you'd be better off dual booting Windows and Linux than bothering with OS X

 
My wife has been complaining about this.

Users are reporting that iOS 9.1 is shutting off their alarms. The result being an outpouring of anger on social media as people are late to work, missing appointments and even flights. Perhaps the most high profile tweet comes from the Pixies’ guitarist Joey Santiago.
 
Well it may not be a Macbook Pro, but my Wife's brother gave me his 21.5" Imac. It will allow me to get use to a Mac. That is what I am typing on at the moment. So far I am liking it though.
 
Loving this thing so much. It's amazing for such and old machine. I see why photographers use them the color is so sharp and so accurate. This isn't even a 5k model. I can't even imagine. I think this will be replacing my main computer on my desk soon. Also the built in speakers are amazing!
 
I had a call in on my imac the other day. Had no idea it did this. I knew I could receive and send texts on here, but I was just sitting here and I heard my phone ring at the other end of the house then I had a slide out that showed whose calling. I clicked accept and said "Hello?" sure enough you can just answer your phone and talk like normal. It was really cool. Also got time machine setup which is amazing. I don't get why Windows can't have something so simple? It would save people so much headache. My drobo works flawless with it and in fact data transfers are WAY faster than doing it over my PC. I have no idea why? I basically never touch my PC anymore. Besides gaming I wouldn't have a need for it any longer.
 
Big update out 9.3
Is it the "let the FBI unlock the terrorists phone" update?  FBI says they don't need Apple's help now though, and now Apple wants to know how the FBI will hack their phone.  Ever wonder if all the back and forth is just posturing for the public?

It's the usual update to make your phone slower so you have to upgrade.

From what I have read online lately as far as anyone can tell they think the government actually backed down. They knew Apple was willing to go to any means to not get this pushed through. Considering Apple has more money than even our current government it does make you wonder. At the same time I am about 50-50 on this one. I am somewhat like @ndboarder and think this is just a show to maybe make criminals think that they are safe and make them want to put their trust in a already back door product. But then the other side make me want to believe that maybe, just maybe there is still some privacy and good guys out there fighting for it.
