  • Australian antitrust watchdog goes after preinstalled iOS apps

    What next? Wal-Mart not allowed to sell their in-house brands? Restaurants have to give customers “choice” on prepared ingredients? YouTube having to allow PornHub videos? DuckDuckGo giving users the “choice” to run Google ads instead? BMW allowing customers the “choice” to preinstall Ferrari engines?

    Do these sound stupid to you? So should Apple not being allowed to run its software  the way they need to. And if this sounds extreme, remember, the government works in baby steps.
    None of these analogies make sense.

  • Mac Microsoft Office 2016 users will lose 365 cloud services in October

    Just think of it as 1tb of storage for 10 bucks a month. and you get a bunch of apps for free. Cheaper than just the storage on icloud.

  • Apple Stores in US to remain closed until early May

    djsherlydjsherly
    Early May seems incredibly optimistic. The infection curve isn't even close to flattening out. In Australia we have have significantly fewer recorded per capita infections than the US and were are talking lockdown till the end of June. This is from a conservative Australian government who is keen for business to continue.

    I wish you all the best - Apple stores don't need to be open if you got one of the best online sales platforms out there.

  • A5X: How Apple took iPad to a luxury tier rivals couldn't match

    djsherlydjsherly
    It was an impressive display but the iPad was fatter and slower and charged more slowly (and almost not at all in use) than the iPad before it. 

    If you ask me, and yes, snarky people, no one did actually ask me, it was released too soon. 

    Ipad4 kinda proved that. 

    Regular people don’t generally care about what the iPad is (ie ram/cpu/gpu), they care about what is does and how it goes about that. Hence the constant wishes for a file system, performance (in the ipad3 case) and fast charging (again ipad3). 

    I have an iPad Pro and I love it. I have no idea what is in it. I knew at the time what the soc was but I couldn’t tell you that now.  It’s fast and does what I want it to do.

  • Apple buys Intel modem business in $1B deal

    djsherlydjsherly
    Perhaps a simpler answer is that Apple are well on their way and buying this division simply clears the air of patent clouds. They may not even need the engineering expertise. Ie it’s litigation insurance.
