The Headphone Jack Must DIE!

Image result for headphone jack


We've all been fond of the things we get used to, we fall into routines, we expect somethings out of life. When those routines are broken it takes us a while to adapt. This is particularly true about the headphone jack. To see the damage casued by the headphone jack we need to go back way back

History Lesson: Floppies

Floppies were revolutionary , for their time they were the most cutting edge technology available. people could now transfer data more easily than ever before. Just plug it in and you're done! In 1980 this was as seamless as it got, You're looking at the snapchat, iCloud and iMessage of the 20th century.
And then Apple comes along and kills the floppy drive if the internet was as prevalent as it is today then, I'm sure the internet would have been inundated with posts about how "Removing the Floppy drive is a horrible choice" but in retrospect we see how futile it would have been to stick with floppies.

History Lesson : MacBook Air

Fast forward a few decades Apple strikes again! This time the beloved CD drive gets axed. At the time the Internet was in uproar unlike the last time.People were flabbergasted How could they remove the CD drive! Again fast forward a few years and laptops and computers without a CD drive is commonplace.( When was the last time you used a CD?). Turns out there was a better way and we just didn't see it at the time.

Back To The Headphone Jack

I'm sure you've started to see a trend here people get really pissed when something is removed but they get over it really easily. Don't believe me? Just look at the reactions of the iPhone & and the Google Pixel 2. People Just didn't care about the headphone jack a year later after the iPhone 7.

But Bluetooth Isn't Good Enough

The only way a technology becomes "good" is if theres enough demand for it. If companies see that there is a large enough market for bluetooth headphones they're going to invest heavily to make better bluetooth headphones. Look at how many amazing wireless headphones have dropped since phones started ditching the headphone jack. Apple has created more demand for bluetooth headphones and thus they've moved the industry along.

In 10 years no ones going to care about the headphone jack. It'll be one of those technologies that was widely used and then fell out of favor.

So let me know what you think in the comments below.

The Huawei Ban Is Justified (Hear Me Out)

So a few a year or so ago I talked about the consequences of using a Huawei phone here  and more than a year later things aren't all that different. Recently Huawei was accused of being a security threat by the United States and has asked all American companies to not do business with Huawei. So that means that Huawei is now cut off from Intel, Qualcomm and most importantly Android. Now this might seem harsh at first glance. The US is unfairly targeting a law abiding company just for the fact that it is Chinese. But a closer look reveals much more.  How China Does Business Unlike in the west and much of the world. China does not have a protections for intellectual property. That means that no ones protecting your idea from being ripped off by someone else and then being brought to market. In most of the world if someone violates a patent you can sue them. Case and point look at pressy a small Kickstarter that makes a small button that plugs into your phones headphone jack (

So Which Is The Best Browser For Your Mac?

With all the chrome bashing that's been going on of late, It got me wondering and a bit jealous cause I was missing out on the aforementioned Chrome bashing. Does it really matter what browser you use? I mean they all fundamentally do the same thing, It turns all the ones and zeros of the internet into things that you can actually read on your screen. But as is turns out a whole lot of things have to happen for your favourite website to be displayed to you, In the shady back alleys of code that our browsers run on, It turns out that each browser does things a little bit differently. So what are our options? The Three main browsers that we'll be taking a look at today will be Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  Safari Safari is the browser that comes with your iPhone or iPad or your Mac as we are discussing in this case. It's a fast fluid responsive modern browser. It's my browser on choice. Safari a few things going for it. First off it's a first party brows

My iOS 13 Wishlist

Around this time last year I wrote the  iOS 12 wish list , And to my surprise most of my prayers were answered, and iOS 12 has been wonderful for the last 5 months or so. But now we're coming up on another WWDC, Yes its still 5 months away but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from speculating what the next version of iOS will be.Here are a few features that I'd like to see on the next version of iOS. A New Look For iOS 13 Ever since iOS 7 iOS has looked the same more or less, With its flat icons and punchy colours. I feel that the time for a refresh is long overdue. Don't get me wrong it looks great but, Its stale and I fresh new coat of paint can go wonders in making iOS 13 feel radically different. Apple has their work cut out for them if they do decide to go down this route. Finding a new design aesthetic isn't the most easiest thing in the world. When you consider that the new design refresh will have be loved and should be simple to use for millions
