Re: Apple HomePod Discontinued: Apple to Focus on Smaller, HomePod Mini, USA Today

Thanks for the link you sent in another message, I will be responding. My problem is that a lot of the stations I want our foreign language. And the Amazon devices and the Google devices will play them. Siri won’t. Why not? And even HomePod aside, Siri just sends me to the web far too often. Eve

Re: Apple HomePod Discontinued: Apple to Focus on Smaller, HomePod Mini, USA Today

Well, far be it from me to defend Siri, but she's gotten a lot better, at least with regard to playing radio stations. I can now get her to play every station I want to hear, either from public radio, Tune-In, or iHeart. You might give that another try. I don't get why some music just won't pl

send feedback to Apple re HomePod

Hi all, I just sent feedback to Apple regarding their decision to discontinue the HomePod. I would encourage anyone else who sees this as a bad decision to do the same. You can send feedback by going to this link: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ Cheers, Donna -- The following information is i

Re: Apple HomePod Discontinued: Apple to Focus on Smaller, HomePod Mini, USA Today

Hi Donna, I agree with you with regard to privacy issues. But I honestly don’t think Apple has done what they could or should have done with Siri and never mind privacy issues. That is, privacy issues shouldn’t matter in these cases. Why, for instance, can’t you get radio stations around the wor

Re: Apple HomePod Discontinued: Apple to Focus on Smaller, HomePod Mini, USA Today

Hi, Mary, I'm sure everyone on this list knows I've had my frustrations with Siri. lol That said, I'd still rather have Siri than either Alexa or Google. Not that any company has a flawless track record, but I trust Apple's handling of privacy issues much more than either Amazon or Google. Also

Re: Apple HomePod Discontinued: Apple to Focus on Smaller, HomePod Mini, USA Today

I couldn’t agree more, Donna. I was really disappointed. The problem with the homePod isn’t the speaker, it’s Apple and that god awful Siri. They really have not done what they should be doing with that. And there’s no way I’m interested in any HomePod mini. Why? I bought a pair of HomePods for

Apple HomePod Discontinued: Apple to Focus on Smaller, HomePod Mini, USA Today

Hello Everyone, Well, I knew this day would come. I did not think it would happen so soon but . Since purchasing my original HomePod, all I have asked Apple to do was to add a device-specific equalizer so as to allow listeners to customize the sounds balance. This feature has long since been av

Re: Tips on using powerpoint with Voiceover.

I rarely use PowerPoint on any operating system, and when I do, it's generally for reading someone else's presentation. So I don't have suggestions to offer, except that you should also try Apple's KeyNote (part of iWorks) as it may be more accessible under Mac OS than Microsoft's PowerPoint i
