Facebook VP Nick Clegg attacks Apple over privacy criticism
This guy was the former UK deputy prime minister. Sheryl Sandberg was in the state department in the USA. If you look at Facebook and Google's executive ranks, there are a lot of politicians on their payroll.
I don't wear a tin foil hat but when the tin foil folds itself and puts itself on top of your head you have to wonder.

Apple insists 8GB unified memory equals 16GB regular RAM
This is an echo chamber. Basic common sense proves that 8GB is not 16GB. You're just all circle jerking each other and those of us who aren't sheep are laughing.13485 said:So none of the more negative posts can disprove that the basic Apple premise that 8GB is as effective as double that in practice. You can be sure that Apple has data to back up that claim, although it would probably have been wise to put out a slide or two showing that instead of just talking about it. As far as the price, of course it's expensive, since the computers are SoC, a technology that holds the HD/SSD data as well as the RAM data on a chip, which becomes instantaneously available compared to separate RAM from the old days. But apparently the market doesn't get this yet.
As far as the constant refrain about iMacs filling landfills, I tend not to believe it as our business has several 2012 models working exactly as they always did. Until they can no longer access the web, the server, the printers, or get replacement hard drives, they are valued members and not hitting a landfill any time soon. Besides, when the end times come for them, my state recycles electronic waste, as I'm sure others do as well.

And what qualifies you to talk about economics? I have my business degree and to complete it, took many economics courses. What are your qualifications?Xed said:It boggles my mind that people don’t understand basic economics. There so many things wrong with that line of thinking. -

Apple prepares 12.9-inch iPad Air for early 2024 launch
Upping the hardware specs of an iPad will not deliver the biggest bang.
If they really want to make an impact they need to upgrade the iOS and make it a capable OS like macOS.
Otherwise the iPad is just an overgrown iPhone.

California wants to end Cupertino's tax deal with Apple
Governments do not create value and take from the productive through taxes. Parasites.

Whether this is true or not I will not get into (even though I think it is complete BS).
This still doesn't excuse the fact that Apple charges complete ripoff prices for RAM and SSD upgrades when you buy a computer.

Apple subreddit reopens after moderation team threatened with removal
Mods are supposed to remove spam, not push their own agendas. They didn't even ask the users if they wanted to do the blackout. From the response on Reddit, generally the users don't care. The mods are just butthurt that the tools they use to push their agendas and create their echo chambers will no longer work. I say good for Reddit. F the mods. -
Apple Watch glucose tracker gets Apple Silicon executive as project lead
I have never owned an Apple Watch ever but glucose monitoring is the killer app that would get me to buy one, and I'm not even diabetic. If Apple can make this happen, they will sell exponentially more Apple Watches.
