  • New M3 MacBook Air has changes that make the SSD faster than the last model

    It seems this was an easily avoidable mistake. Did they not test these models, or did they just say “good enough” and shove them out the door? 
    And yes, 256 gigs is too small these days. 
    Mistake? Your needs are not the same as mine. For my use 256 gig is more than enough. But by your reasoning I should have to pay for useless excessive memory to make you happy. Apple makes a range of configurations available to allow customers to match their preferences/needs. I don’t think that’s a mistake.

    This is daft.

    Its liking saying to UPS, here is a fedex package, deliver it.
    Not really. When you call me from the US, your phone company isn't delivering the call. It's my phone company. 

    Same thing happens with SMS. 

    Dame thing happens with email. 

    The DSA is basically looking for interoperability as an end goal. 

    Not exactly. Lowest common denominator service is available for messaging and it is SMS. Lowest common denominator service for telephone calls is available but higher quality calls with FaceTime Audio offers superior sound between Apple devices. If I want improved services then I can purchase the equipment that provides it. I don’t expect the cheapest auto to provide the best ride because it is on European roads.

  • Apple makes it clear it will get its app commission regardless of payment method

    Apple is perfectly entitled to collect the commission. Without Jobs invented the iPhone there is no developer app ecosystem. Developers need to thank Apple providing this opportunity to get rich quickly. 
    Do you realize that according to marketing research 90% of the apps are not profitable for the developer?   The only one who is getting rich quickly, is Apple
    If the developers are not making money then why are they developing?

  • 'iPhone 12' likely to ship in the same timeframe that the iPhone X did

    It can only be “Late” if a date has been announced by Apple and then missed.

    I don’t want any indoor cameras! Where are all the outdoor HomeKit systems? How long is it going to take to get one company that makes all of it? An indoor camera, an outdoor camera, a doorbell, the window & door sensors, deadbolt, garage door opener etc? It seems like now you have to get the indoor cameras from these guys, the outdoor cameras from those guys, the door sensors from whoever, the deadbolts from them, the garage door opener from  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯...

    This shit isn’t rocket science. if I had a few million I’d just incorporate, hire a couple guys and do it myself.
    Check Netatmo. I have their outdoor camera and like it.
