  • Scam ChatGPT apps are flooding the Mac App Store

    Yet we are always hearing about  legitimate developers who try over and over to get their app approved, rejected for seemingly nitpicking features or functions. There was an article not long ago about a  reputable developer who finally gave up getting their product approved for the App Store because of the constant rejections. But we have scammers who are apparently gifted in getting their crap approved.

    What does that say about Apple’s ‘review’ process? It says it’s bullshit from top to bottom.

  • Anonymous developers claim fraud, scams & clones breeze by App Store review

    "These various accounts are anonymous and can't be verified as accurate...”

    Of course not, and that’s why they are being published. Stir shit up, add to the frenzy of the evil Apple narrative of those who 
    voluntarily chose to buy products from Apple, knowing full well what being in the walled garden meant. But hey, instead of moving to another platform that supplies what they want, no, let’s force Apple to do what we want.  Make Apple’s ecosystem go away and make it just like the other platform we could support if we wanted to

  • Apple has been racketeering to protect its stolen services technology, inventor accuses

    Bold claims.  I'm sure he has loads of evidence to back it up. /s
    Well, based on previous lawsuits you don’t really need any evidence win a judgment against Apple, do you. All you have to do is file in some backwater county of Texas, right?

  • 1,000 fake AirPods & 50 counterfeit Apple Watches seized at DC-area airport in March

    The people who buy these counterfeits are the just prey of the thieves who sell them. It’s a symbiotic relationship of greed. If it sounds too good to be true it likely is.

  • Remembering Steve Jobs on his 68th birthday

    I’ll always remember Gil Amelio announcing the return of Steve Jobs, and shortly later he became Apple’s “interim” CEO.


  • Samsung says US Galaxy S7 phones safe despite scattered incidents

    To be fair there are also “scattered incidents” of iPhones catching fire too. Lithium is a very reactive element being  #3 on the Periodic Table and all. While it’s fun to mock Samsung they will be back with a vengeance. Consumers have very short memories and when the Note 8 comes out they will scoop it up. I had a furnace technician out to the house a few days ago. In the course of conversation he said had a Note 7 and had exchanged it for a Galaxy S7 after the recall. He was miffed he had to pay sales tax and other fees for the exchange yet he plans to get a Note 8 as soon as it comes out.

  • Supreme Court sides with Samsung over Apple, says payments shouldn't cover whole device profits [u]

    So I guess Samsung could just slap the Apple logo on their phones now if they want to, just like the counterfeit iPhones coming out of China these days?

  • Apple suggests that it has permanently exited the stand-alone monitor business

    I've been an Apple guy since 1984 when i bought the original 128k mac. But I recently im beginning to feel the love wearing off as I see less exciting innovation at a snails pace. Not offering a standalone display and leaving a giant hole in the ecosystem that only a 3rd party can fill does not seem like Apple at all, even if its not a profitable venture. The aesthetic and visual quality is a critical part of the ecosystem and LG will not get it right. I hope this rumor is wrong.
    Yeah, so what’s the alternative? Windows 10? Really? If the love is wearing off then I guess you’re stuck. Moving to PC hardware and Windows would be like having an affair with Hillary Clinton.

  • What to expect from today's Apple event: 'iPhone 7,' Apple Watch with GPS, more

    Two iPhone questions:

    1. Will optical zoom mean the lens moves, as with an SLR camera?
    2. How will Apple provide water-resistance of the Lightning port (that is not possible with the headphone port)?

    Looking forward to Wednesday!
    The iPhone 6 Plus and 6S Plus have had true optical zoom for two years now. The lens does move but you cannot see that externally.
  • Britney Spears' album 'Glory' debuts, but not as Apple Music exclusive


    Oh, and I don't have to pay bandwith charges to listen to music I like.

    While I accept that for some people services like Apple Music and Spotify work, they don't for many of us, especially old dinosaurs like me.

     
    I know several old dinosaurs like you, so proud of themselves that they still use a rotary dial phone, drive a car with a manual transmission, play their music on a turntable through a forty year old stereo amp and speakers they built themselves when they were in their twenties. You wear your prehistorical Ludditism  like a badge of honor and look down on those who use modern technology. Whatever.
