  • Apple expanding its Miami footprint with new offices and a retail store

    Stores, fine. Corporate presence in retrograde States like Florida and Texas should be minimized. 
    Lol.  “Retrograde.”  Sophisticated take.  

    The economics would disagree with you.

  • iPhone 16 gets super fast wireless charging, with the right MagSafe cable

    To clarify, is this version of the MagSafe charger different than the previous version?  I don’t immediately sss a delineation on the Apple Store page link above.  Normally Apple will call it “first gen” or “second gen” or show which phone models are compatible with new features.  

    Just curious if I need to buy a new charger cable or use my older one with a faster brick.

  • US Treasury Secretary to meet with EU antitrust head, try to block collection of Apple back taxes


    Both Apple and the Irish government have denied any wrongdoing, and the latter has promised to fight any ordered payments.

    Actually, it's "...the former has promised..."  The latter is the second party named.   The Irish government is not fighting any payments.

  • Apple bows to China, starts enforcing App Store rules

    Incoming counterarguments about ‘Apple’s a business and has to operate within the laws of the countries it’s in.” 
    It’s not a counter argument…it’s the only argument. Not complying risks Apple’s China employees. 

    Grow up. 
    Hah; thanks.  I’ll try to grow up.

  • Apple's Ive and Newson unveil unadorned fir trees for Claridge's Christmas installation

    That just looks boring and uninspired.  Christmas is a season of celebration and joy (and this is explicitly called the Claridge CHRISTMAS tree installation).  

    There is nothing about that setup that makes me feel joyful.  Complete fail by Ive.  Ive is usually really good about tying function and design, but this just looks like some shallow attempt to produce something "chic."

  • Apple, other tech companies decry North Carolina anti-LGBT law

    I'm a biological male who doesn't want biological females in the Men's Restroom when I'm using it.  Don't my feelings count for something, too?  

    Restrooms are assigned by sex, not by gender.  Gender is open to cultural interpretation, but biological sex is not.  There are serious risks to creating open bathrooms, and hurt feelings isn't one of them.  

    Before the most tolerant and open minded people on these boards close their minds and start calling me hateful and bigoted, please note that I am all for equality.  But, we must find a better solution than open restrooms.

    So are Apple and other companies saying that only their opinion matters? Are they better than the voters of North Carolina that wanted this? I thought the left didn't like big business and money in politics?
    Did the voters of North Carolina want this? A rushed bill discussed in virtual secret doesn't seem like a democratic outcome. I'll stand corrected f the members of the NC legislature stood on a ticket of undoing anti-discriminatory legislation, but I doubt that's what happened. What "the voters" want is seldom what the people they vote for actually do, and what the elected do is seldom what voters want.
    You're right.  Obamacare being the perfect example of your last sentence. 

    With regard to this situation...this state legislation is in response to an ordinance passed in the city of Charlotte that was extremely controversial.  The state passed its measure to strike the local measure down.
