  • CurrentC inches closer to death as Apple Pay adds over 30 banks

    Please know that I'm not meaning to bash Apple (or Apple Pay) when I write this, but honestly I don't really get it too much. I have an Apple Watch and I have used Apple Pay with it, but it was never like a game-changing moment. Partly my fault in that I forget what button to press to bring up Apple Pay on the watch but even the few items it all worked I guess it was just okay. Using a credit card would have been just as well. Again, not earth-shattering cool by any means for me. But I keep reading about how Apple is getting more and more banks and places to come on board...but I never really know why. Is it just to sell hardware? I can't imagine people going the way of Apple just for this. Maybe a little bit sure...but all this has got to be costing Apple some good money. I can say the Share price sure doesn't reflect this initiative. Anyway, no harm no foul I guess so keep going and maybe the new generation prefers all this.
    The big deal isn't that ApplePay allows you to pay for stuff.

    The big deal is that ApplePay turns your credit card into a device that is secure, can make and receive phone calls, send sms's and email, browse the internet, organise your calender, take photos and notes, read books, edit documents, make and play music, install apps, etc, etc, etc...

  • Elon Musk expects 'Apple Car' to be late to market, estimates volume production by 2020

    trollkillertrollkiller
    Here's the problem, Elon.

    Apple was also "late to the market" in the phone and tablet game and looked how that turned out.

  • Actually, there is something new about Apple's upcoming iPhone 7

    I own a lot of phones (iPhone 6S+, Note 5, iPhone 5S, galaxy S7 etc.) so as a consumer I can truly appreciate what each device brings to the market.

    *facepalm*

    Unless you are a developer, not only did you just demonstrate that you seem incapable of matching your requirements to a single device but you also demonstrated that potentially Samsung's sales figures would be halved if you ever got your act together. 

    That's not good news for Samsung or Android.

    I also hope you have an iPhone 4 to do the things your iPhone 5s and iPhone 6s Plus can't do...

  • FBI director calls for restart of smartphone encryption debate

    Hey James,

    Shouldn't you be investigating the claims in "Clinton Cash" first?

    What the hell is that going over the fence?

    Oh, that would be the (latest) home run that Daniel just knocked out of the park with this article...

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook, VP Lisa Jackson to host Clinton fundraising event

    trollkillertrollkiller
    Tim supports the woman excused by the guy who tried to f*ck him on encryption.

    But that's cool, vote for somebody amazed by balloons.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook calls for racial equality in light of US shooting deaths

    trollkillertrollkiller
    There's a rumor that Hillary Clinton is going to ask Tim Cook to serve in her administration once she's elected. Good I hope she does. He belongs in politics not running a major technology company.
    I just hope we can get Scott Forstall as CEO. Because I don't see anyone else qualified. 
    I, for one, can see absolutely no downside in putting the guy responsible for the first version of Apple Maps in charge of the entire software, services, and hardware divisions of Apple...

  • Apple discontinues Thunderbolt Display, no replacement announced

    I'm always amazed by things like this. Apple has about 60,000 employees. About half of them are working on the retail side, and the other 30k or so work for corporate. There weren't 100-200 people they could dedicate to designing and engineering a replacement display, oh, at some point over the past 5 years?? The company also has more money stockpiled than any other company on earth. Yes, I know that most of it is overseas, but the same goes for all the other huge companies too. They could have freed up some funds, is all I'm saying. 

    Slowly but surely they're dropping more and more product lines to make room for more iPhone SKUs. They act like a rose gold phone is a big deal. No, a new Mac mini would be a big deal. A new Macbook with two ports would be a big deal. A new Macbook Pro with user-serviceable parts would be a big deal. A new version of Aperture would have been a big deal. A new Mac Pro would be a big deal. A new Thunderbolt display would have been a big deal.

    Sorry, just been frustrated with Apple lately. I still love them, but I need a new Macbook Pro to replace my aging 2011 13" that I got new for $1,100 and then upgraded to a 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM myself, but I can't afford to pay Apple $2,500 for something new but comparable. 
    Apple has 100k+ employees.
    Ah, yes, but many of those are working on Apple's incredibly new realistic display that can do 60+mph along roads...

  • Hillary Clinton's tech platform backs Apple positions on encryption, privacy, innovation, patents,

    trollkillertrollkiller

    Hillary Clinton's tech platform backs Apple positions on encryption, privacy, innovation, patents.

    Hillary Clinton's tech platform SAYS IT backs Apple positions on encryption, privacy, innovation, patents FOR NOW.

    "A POLITICIAN" "SAID SOMETHING" "TO GET ELECTED" "SO THEY COULD IGNORE THAT AND DO WHAT THEIR POLITICAL SPONSORS PAID THEM FOR."

    Fixed that for you, eventually.
