  • Complaining about Apple retail conditions is like 'writing to Santa'

    What is disconcerting is that when they stop concerning themselves with good customer service, they become like any other computer company. 

    This is when I long for the days of Steve Jobs. 
    Steve Jobs got in fights with every single person he came across and ran Apple into the ground in the 90s. 

    Massive credit to him for iPhone and ipad but how often have we seen good ideas with nobody to sell it ?

    thank you Tim Cook 
    Only problem with this statement is that Steve resigned from Apple in 1985 and wasn’t around for the majority of the 90’s.  As someone who remembers the fragmented product lines (Performa, Quadra, Centris, Mac II Series, PowerMac, etc.) of the 90’s I was glad when Steve came back and cleaned house.

    Personally I feel like the Apple product lineup of today is starting to become almost as bloated as the one back then. Will I continue to buy products sure, do I wish for a more streamlined product lineup absolutely!

    Walked into my local Apple Store yesterday to inquire about having the back glass on my iPhone 13 Pro Max replaced and I asked the three workers standing in the front of the store if under AppleCare they would only replace the glass (my preferred option) or if they would replace the whole device.  Out of the three none could answer for sure.  What you used to get in Apple Stores was knowledgeable salespeople that loved the products as much if not more than we did.  I’m not sure how unionized workers change that mentality and dynamic but I’d love to see the change.

  • Apple TV+ review: 'Greyhound' brings Apple to the movie big leagues

    trustnoone00trustnoone00
    Only movies which have premiered in a theater are eligible for an Oscar. And the Academy Awards aren’t exactly the mark of excellence they used to be 40-50 years ago. They’re an award decided by and given to movie industry insiders. Worthless, IMO.
    Except for the 2021 Academy Awards, from reading the article it seems like Greyhound “should” be able to be nominated.

  • EU may require Apple to give competitors access to Apple Pay tech

    I love using ApplePay, however it is much easier using it with a mask if you have TouchID.  It is a real PITA to have to lower my mask to make payments, but I understand that no one could have foreseen this situation 2/3 years ago when the FaceID development was underway.
    You don’t need to lower your mask, if you give it a second to not recognize your face it will give you the option to “Pay with Passcode”.  I agree it’s a bit annoying but there is an alternate way to do it.

    I’ve included the Apple Support site below, look at the steps within the “Use Face ID to make purchases” section, number 3:

  • UK Parliament calls for 50/50 streaming royalties split between artists and record labels

    trustnoone00trustnoone00
    So if the findings are that artists are making only 13% off of their music shouldn’t it be that the government enforce a 50/50 split across all distribution forms not just streaming (i.e. CD, Digital Sales, Streaming, etc.)? Wouldn’t that be the most “fair” to the artists?

  • End of Galaxy Note 7 predicted to help Apple, but 'big beneficiaries' could be other Android device

    They are right. The vast majority of Galaxy users are people that associate more cores, more pixels with better phones. Those will keep buying Android devices, probably the great S7.

    The others, that wanted S-pen specific features, will keep using older notes or other galaxy devices, too. They have no other choice.

    Those that wanted the Note because it had the best screen and best camera won't obvious buy an iPhone as well.

    For the users that feel that they lost trust in Samsung, some will go Android, some will go iOS.
