The new Apple TV delivers an all-new experience with Touch andSiri, powerful new hardware, and great content, games, and more on the App Store. The Touch surface on the new Siri Remote offers innovative ways to interact with your TV, creating a connected experience with a screen that's across the room. With Siri, finding something to watch is as easy as just asking. And with apps, Apple TV allows you to customize your TV for personal and shared experiences in the living room.

I've had this thing for over a year and a half now and I have to say, this is the worst product apple has ever released. CONSTANT network errors, and disconnects. You have to sign into every freaking thing but the remote only understands letters half the time, plus you have to say your password to your whole apple account in front of everyone or type it with the ridiculous remote. I've tried and tried to get the phone remote app to work but every single time I need it to work it can't find the tv.
Did I mention the ridiculous remote? Of course you always pick it up the wrong way because it's symmetrical front and back. But then you set it down and the stupid touch interface is constantly getting tripped. Dog steps on it? Show paused. Slides between sofa cushions? The menu freaks out. It will take you another minute to get back where you were.
I hate this thing. What finally prompted me to write the review is that I
Be been sitting here trying to get Hulu to work for over a half hour and got bored with "network error" screens. I went to test Internet on my iPad and see if it was the connection or just appleTV sucking again. Well here I am writing this review on a fully functional wifi connection.

I was going to sell my old Apple TV 1. I think I'll keep it and trash this piece of garbage. Don't waste your money.

Finally a full size bluetooth mouse that works
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: sewercat
I don't know what's going on. I dropped my basic little $30 Logitech bluetooth mouse that had been a workhorse for years but had not been able to find a replacement that worked. I set the seemingly achievable goal of having forward/backward buttons and on a full-size mouse that works on a Mac...nothing. Tired the Logitech, triathalon, Microsoft Sculpt, a handful of mice off amazon, a Razer mouse, a Mad Catz mouse, an HP mouse, and even Apple's expensive magic mouse 2. every last one of them has had some sort of issue from scroll wheels that didn't work to batteries that wouldn't hold a charge to simply not connecting to connecting but then refusing to connect after installing drivers.
This one seems to do everything it's supposed to. It holds a charge, the buttons work without any headaches. I had given up on hoping for a bluetooth mouse and bought a USB hub about a month ago, but this one works seamlessly on bluetooth. I'm a little peeved that I had to spend $64 to get a mouse that fulfills pretty basic criteria but at least it's cheaper than the magic mouse.

Battery hassles are a thing of the past with the solar-powered Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750. It charges itself whenever there's light, so you can say goodbye to batteries, power bricks and charging cables. With sleek lines and a thin profile, this stylish, streamlined keyboard adds style to your workspace. Combining the best of traditional keyboards, laptops and a Logitech-only concave key cap design, you'll enjoy faster, quieter, feel-good typing -hour after hour. Plus, you'll get wireless freedom thanks to the Logitech Unifying receiver.

I bought this keyboard a while ago and kept having issues with it lagging and stuttering after a couple of hours of use. This playing Overwatch or Battlefield my character would just get stuck and stutter around. For the longest time I thought it was an internet issue until I noticed it doing the same thing writing text and tested it on a bunch of other computers and got the same issue. Logitech sent a replacement and were pretty easy to deal with, even if they took their sweet time actually shipping it.
I went to install the replacement today but when I pulled it out of the box and tilted it to remove the tissue paper wrapping the 0 key from the numpad fell off in my lap. I tried to go back to the original that lagged but it won't even turn on now. Logitech has said they'll send a second replacement but at this point I really just wish they'd let me select something else or give me a voucher to buy a different logitech keyboard at the store rather than make me wait for another replacement to arrive. I hate doing this but I'm going to have to go buy and return another keyboard just so I can use my computer while I wait for a 3'rd K750 to arrive.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

The creative tool I was hoping for since 2009
on November 21, 2015
Posted by: sewercat
When the iPad was initially announced lot of us in creative fields were hoping for a cintiq killer- a $600 mobile touchscreen device that would run OS X and provide a viable alternative from the $2000 Wacom Cintiq. We were disappointed over and over again as it became clear that Apple was only interested in making a consumption device and we were left at the mercy of Wacom's monopoly in worthwhile drawing tablets.
Finally the device I wa hoping for has arrived. I can say that the Apple pencil is, by far, the best digital drawing tool I've ever found. I've owned and either sold or returned a 13" cintiq, a 22" cintiq (each of which cost more than twice as much as the iPad pro and stylus) a number of intuos tablets, a Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 and every pressure sensitive iPad stylus under the sun. This one is really the best.
The latency, pressure sensitivity, palm rejection no overall feel all work amazingly well. Though I initially wanted a full desktop OS so that I could run photoshop, I can honestly say that the apps available right now, right out of the gate blow away anything I could do on a 13 inch cintiq with a full blown desktop app.The multitouch ruler in the notes app is incredibly handy. Procreate,53, and Adobe sketch are all very well thought out for drawing and painting and eliminate the endless battle to figure out how to get the keyboard shortcuts I needed without having to setup an actual keyboard on my sofa. It eliminates the weird neckstrain of leaning on my drawing arm while trying to reposition the keyboard in a better way when at a desk. I simply don't need a keyboard anymore because the requisite tools are all within a couple of taps. I draw on the iPad and sync to the desktop.
My only critique would be that there's no eraser on the top, but rather a charger,but it's a fairly minor thing to tap on an eraser tool vs flip the pen around.

it does most things a stylus would
November 22, 2015
It does most things a stylus would except for gestures. It doesn't swipe down for notifications or up for the control center. It also doesn't do multitouch (likely part of the palm rejection is that when the pencil is detected it doesn't accept multitouch gestures)
It does do long press in some places but not in others. Holding on an app to invoke the app deletion and rearrangement mode works fine. Holding on text to bring up a dictionary or copy and paste options does nothing. Theres a handy guide below:
