  • Delta Emulator changes logo after Adobe legal threat

    The change of logo is unfortunate, especially since the App Store has started to allow emulators to be submitted. Delta is a major name in the emulation field on iPhone, and changing branding like a logo could be especially damaging at such an important time. 

    The product is free and you search the store by name so I doubt it will hurt "sales".

  • The next Apple CEO: Who could succeed Tim Cook?

    I'm still skeptical of "AI" as a revenue generating feature for client computers. It's a new tool in the software toolbox and a new feature set for a product, but I don't think it will affect client computer buying trends. People aren't going to be shortening the lifespan of their current computers for new "AI PCs".

    There's obviously a huge penetration and buildup of servers and server-side AI features. We will see how far it goes. It probably is not a crypto-currency like bubble, but I'm waiting to see what happens. If it makes money, the buildup that is happening today is small-fry as all those GPU-based AI hardware will be replaced with specialized AI accelerators, using less power, more performant, etc.

    I digress. A product person is different from an AI person. Even if the future is AI everything, it needs to be wrapped into consumer product that people buy. Hence, I think having a product person is really important. It can't be a Sam Altman type. It has to be someone who understands how people use computers.
    Wall Street has been sold a bill of goods on everything having the AI connection. While of value the processing will require the cloud for the real work.

    Did any one of them foresee the imminent need of end-point AI on iPhone and on Mac? If one does, they are qualified CEO candidates.  

    What about putting a SIM/eSIM on a MacBook Pro? 

    What about a MacBook Pro AI Pro?

    Still need to wait 10 years?

    Why in the world would you need a SIM/eSIM on a MacBook Pro. I use my iPhone and it automatically figures it out when I am out of WiFi range. There are no upsides unless you are one of the people who will not have a smartphone. It is also is another device on your account with an associated monthly cost. Someone please enlighten me.

    "VP of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives" is a title for which there is no advancement. Completely ridiculous speculation for a job that does not need to exist.

  • Fingers crossed: Spotify might actually launch lossless audio in 2024

    I am surprised the EU allows Spotify to harvest user data to profit off of them. Seems to go against all of their privacy laws.
