  • Please don't wish for a 'free' App Store

    redraider11redraider11
    This is only getting traction because Apple publishes the cut they get from developers. Why don’t ALL retail outlets just be required to show the markup on all of their products and then people will really see that Apple doesn’t take any more or less then other stores? I mean, Best Buy basically marks up cables for TVs like 90%. People are so freaking ignorant to how the world works it’s ridiculous. These are Apple’s devices and Apple’s stores, they can do what the hell they want. Don’t like it? Then there are other options. It’s that simple. Idiots.

    It doesn't have any impact whatsoever on 99.8% of users IMO. TBH there's almost certainly going to be those rare instances where an already illegal activity and being able to access that person's a data may actually save lives and property. Personally it would be nothing I'd have even a second's concern about. I'm also sure that there's that segment who has so little to worry about in their lives that they'll create a mountain of hand-wringing concern over it for lack of anything else.

    Most folks really do have far more important issues to deal with, things that personally affect their lives. This isn't one of them. 

    Just my 2 cents. 
    I have to agree with this statement. The chances of a non-VIP like 99.8% of IPhone users having his phone compromised by a Cellebrite hacking process is virtually zero. 
    You’re such a sheep. You’ve been brainwashed not to even care about you’re own privacy. Let me guess, you also believe don’t believe in the 2nd Amendment because it’s impossible for governments to get out of control and the police are there to protect you. 

    Just because politicians have convinced you that you don’t need privacy or individual liberty doesn’t mean the rest of us are going to believe that BS.

    I’m fine with this technology, but Apple should do anything and everything to make it null and void to protect its customers.

    Won't be long before every producer of content will have their hands in our pockets. Cord cutters, your dream has come true. No more free lunch grandpa, the world is taking its cues from Spirit Air, pay toilets, and toll roads. No taxes, but everything you use will cost you. Justifying your accounts at the end of the month will be a nightmare with hundreds of nickel and dime charges flowing from your phone, watch, and car. Brave New World. 
    Wow! Capitalism! What a concept!
    Right, community out, every man for himself in. I'm sure that's how humanity progressed. 
    Capitalism is the only reason companies like Apple and Disney even exist so I'm not sure what you're implying. Disney has their own product they want to sell and they want to cut out the middle man not unlike, oh I don't know, Apple with their retail stores? The market will decide if this is a good move or not. Disney seems to think it is. Does it kind of suck? Well yes because I have a one year old and it's awesome to get Disney movies included with Netflix and I don't really want to shill out more money for another subscription service. Only time and people voting with their wallets will tell.

    I've been saying this for YEARS:

    Apple needs to make more political contributions. Not to get 'favors' but just to get treated fairly. 

    As an Apple shareholder I see no problem with Apple spending a few hundred million on political contributions.
    This is EXACTLY what is wrong with our government in the first place, taking kick backs from corporations instead of working for the people. Get your crony capitalism BS out of here.

    Start supporting input (not just output) from other vendor dongles and I do not care. No I will not wear those "earings" because I do not like to stuff my ears with some devices plus they leak sound like sieve. I prefer quality over ear stuff - not fashinable gadgets.
    They’re not just fashionable gadgets, they’re amazing for the office environment. Super light, I’m able to hear my podcasts while also being able to hear things going on around me, they pause automatically when I need to take them out, and no wires to get in the way. Just because they don’t work for you doesn’t make them useless for other people.

    I’ve never had a problem finding installed apps.  The floating video is a feature I want to turn off.  It’s second only to auto playing videos in annoyance.

    The App Store on the other hand... unless you already know the name of the app, it’s a waste of time.  You’re better off searching Google.
    You must be fun at parties.

  • FCC ordered to take public feedback on net neutrality repeal

    Sorry it is not fast enough for you, It will be a slow death, you will hardly notice at first then one day certain websites seem sluggish while the big guns will be lighting fast. 
    Under “net neutrality” only the big guns will win though. All ISPs under “net neutrality” would have to go through a bunch of red tape if they want to expand and foster new innovations. Whom do you think will be able to cut through the red tape faster, if at all?Thats right Verizon, AT&T, etc., not your smaller ISPs. With more regulation just comes more crony capitalism. There’s a reason why Google, Facebook, etc. SUPPORT “net neutrality” and it isn’t because they want to help the little guys. 

    I hate it when politicians give laws like this these names. It draws public support, but most of the public are idiots and don’t actually read what the law will do and the ramifications they bring.

  • Apple TV+ subscriptions flat despite COVID-19 quarantine, increased demand for originals

    redraider11redraider11
    Typical corporate shareholder BS. Always need to be expanding, increasing sales (not a bad thing except when companies go outside of their specialty), trending upward, bigger quotas, yadda yadda, etc. How about Apple just focus on good hardware and software? Apple is not a movie or music studio. You can only expand so much until you’re a jack of all
    trades and a master of one. Knock it off already and partner with the people that actually know what they’re doing in their respective spaces. Of course, as I’m writing this Apple is actually working on a car. Good grief.
