All Apple All Day

We finally did it - the AAAD household are now cord-cutters. And so far, so good. The impetus for this change? Sony's PlayStation Vue service is now available on AppleTV. Here are our (very early) thoughts....

Mac Mini: 2005-2014? The Mac Keynote was, as expected, all about the new MacBook Pro.

I've been waiting to pick up a Mac Mini.  Before I make any decisions, though, I'm waiting a week.

We have quite a few internet devices in the AAAD household. We also have a 10-year old, and it's difficult to limit screen time, or monitor what he sees when he IS on the internet. Circle with Disney should help. We've had it for 2 weeks - here are my initial impressions.

We signed up for HP Instant Ink last summer. It's been 14 months, which gives us enough time to look at our printer usage and billing, and determine whether this was a good deal or not.  

Yesterday was iOS 10 day. And for several iPhone owners, that led to some problems. For me, it meant that Messages became unusable, crashing on startup. It was so bad that checking the settings for Messages would crash Settings! Now, everything seems to be working fine. Here's how I did it.

As I'm typing this post, it's a little after noon, Central Time, on September 13, and my iPhone 6 is updating to iOS 10. I could have waited. I'll be picking up an iPhone 7 Plus on Friday, and that will definitely have iOS 10 installed. But who can wait for that? iOS 10 means HomeKit. And HomeKit is the reason AAAD exists. Let's go.
