I know this is difficult for many people here to understand but there is a very big difference between consumer marketing and enterprise marketing. If you have never worked for a company that does B2B, has wholesale partners, is a Fortune 500 compan…

This article's headline is deceitful. They aren't "stealing" [sic] if they own it. This is just a shameful clickbait title. While no one here has read any contracts between Apple and its suppliers, it is blatantly obviously that Apple is at least p…

Yes, yes, and the dog ate my homework.

Dear Elon, The problem with your service isn't the availability of whiz-bang security trickery. It's the content. And the bad guys will crack any security ploy you come up with, maybe not tomorrow but soon enough where many simply won't be impress…

Teenagers are a notoriously fickle audience so this longterm and ongoing admiration for the Apple brand over years is actually very enviable. It's not like Apple didn't have competition before (like RIM BlackBerrys, T-Mobile Sidekicks, Windows Mobil…

The Apple TV with a camera is almost as pathetically inane as the Apple Television, one of Gene Munster's ludicrous delusions that Apple news websites have perpetuated for years. I've owned a variety of set-top boxes, HTPCs (including three Mac min…

It's all very simple. People take potshots at Apple because they can monetize it. When you worship at the Temple of the Almighty Pageview, it makes sense to spew a lot of nonsense about big companies like Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta,…
