May not be wise if the reports of screen breaks on review machines extend to the production run.
“You may wonder if there’s a market for a 7.9-inch iPad when you can buy a 6.5-inch iPhone.”
Well yes there is. It’s bigger than you might think.
Started working on a review of the Audiofly AF56W wireless headphones. One of the points I was planning to make was that they are harder to lose than the Apple AirPods.
Went out for coffee. Came back to carry on testing.
I think you can guess what happened next.
I have a micro.blog as well as my website:
My segment on RNZ Nine-to-Noon programme yesterday.
Apple’s profits sour and deep fakes get deeper
For non-NZ readers: RNZ is Radio New Zealand.
When I first came to New Zealand from London I was invited to a cocktail party. Following my experience I put my best suit on and was thinking about Martinis or a Tom Collins. In the event it was Lion Brown, Jacobs Creek and old men wearing shorts.
“It’s not a direct comparison, but is some ways Huawei is the Apple of China’s eye.”
A true story. It isn’t recent, but it did happen.
Client: You didn’t follow the brief. Me: I’m a journalist. I write facts. When I interviewed people and checked sources it was clear the premise in your brief was untrue. I reported what I found. Client: But that’s not what we asked for. Me: You won’t look stupid. You won’t get sued. Your readers won’t throw X down in disgust. Client: We don’t care. You’re unreliable. You’ll never work for us again.
Of course it would be best if this wasn’t necessary.

Call me cynical if you like, but this Taipan wireless router is sporting the tech-sector’s equivalent of go-fast stripes. It’s a bit faster than the ISP supplied model, but only marginal improvement.
Found my journalist notebooks from 1998-99. Was given a huge amount of Y2K propaganda by enterprise computer people… much of it sounded a bit over the top at the time…
10 million words
I’m a journalist.
Writing for newspapers and magazines has been my main job for almost 40 years.
For most of the past decade, I’ve worked seven days a week, 50 weeks of the year. Earlier in my life I had regular jobs which had paid holiday and I didn’t always need to work through the weekend. But still long hours.
I estimate that over the long haul I’ve written an average of 5,000 words a week. That’s around 250,000 a year. Over 40 years it adds up to 10 million words give or take.
A scheme by Auckland Airport is helping local people into work. Which is important as it sits next to an area of high unemployment.
