  • 106: Why Apple is Killing AirPort

    Apple has just cancelled it's AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, and AirPort Time Capsule line of Wi-Fi routers.

    "We're discontinuing the Apple AirPort base station products. They will be available through Apple.com, Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers while supplies last."

    That's the statement Apple gave me but, as you might expect, there's a lot more to this story.

  • 101: Exynos Inefficiencies, with John Poole

    Samsung's Exynos 9810 chipset is fast. Really fast. Depending on where you live, it's the chip used in the Galaxy S9. Here's the thing — It's also highly inefficient compared to its counterpart, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845. Primate Labs founder and purveyor of Geekbench, John Poole, shares his expertise regarding why the Exynos is a step in the right direction, but still needs more optimization to balance performance vs. battery life.
