  • Apple and Samsung rest cases patent damages trial, jury to decide on Monday

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Samsung is so clueless. They admit they stole but then they want to set the terms of restitution. It doesn’t work that way. 

    Then they try to set a price on “only the infringing components and not the total smartphone.”

    thats the whole point - that those complete smartphones wouldn’t have sold like that had they not infringed. So yes, the whole cost is included. 

    Samsung had stuff like the Instinct, etc before they blatantly ripped off apple. And the rip-off is what gave them footing in the market so it could be argued Samsung owes Apple far more than Apple is asking.

  • The metaverse is 'off limits' on Apple's VR headset, claims report

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Good. 

    The meta verse vision is extremely unhealthy. 

    While the other tech companies nerd out on being nerdy, Apple nerds out on making human life better. thinking of the humans once again. 

    This is why Apple is successful and why missteps are rare. It’s also why they are perpetually “cool” in site of campaigns to strip that title. 

    Good move.

  • Twitter staff nearly decimated by Musk's 'extremely hardcore' demand

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Smart man. He knows the Twitter staff had a culture of hate toward him. He’s weeding out the underminers, the liabilities, and recreating the staff according to people who share ideals rather than having his own workforce fight against him both publicly and secretly while taking his paychecks. 

    Twitter has needed the poop cleaned out of the cage for a long time. Glad to see it finally happening. 

    Going to be a much better operation.

  • Folding iPhone & under-screen Face ID rumored arrival date pushed back -- again

    If this report is true, (a huge IF) a folding iPhone would be the first major design change since 2007 and the original 4GB iPhone. Yes, Apple has lost it, they've been riding the Ghost of Steve Jobs influence ever since. 
    Oh for crying out loud. Have you seen the current tech for folding phones? It’s garbage. Apple is not going to put its name on a crappy product that has a crease right in the middle of the screen. If and when the technology allows making a reliable phone with a creaseless screen, they’ll make one. Until then we’ll have to make do with Tim Apple lack of creativity and inferior, boring, not-at-all innovative products like AirPods, AirTags, Vision Pro… </s>
    There is nothing 'garbage' about the state of almost all current folding phones and creases are a tradeoff and literally invisible in use. 

    They are tradeoffs, like the notch and big bezels. Remember those? 

    Two things stood out at MWC. One, probably the entire Mercedes fleet of shiny black mini vans with tinted windows, and two, the amount of folding phones being used by visitors. 


    Um no. Current foldable phones are trash. The creases are clearly visible and wear. 

    The Microsoft model had two separate screens that had a seem in the middle when folded so it was t perfect. But it was the only one that didn’t turn to trash after heavy use. And it’s gone already. 

    It’s a nice gimmick so far for as long as it lasts.

  • Intel 'Alder Lake' chips take same approach as Apple's ARM designs

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    It doesn’t matter. 

    They are still the x86 ancient architecture. 

    Sad to say, but with this move, Intel is showing that they are determined to either become a small player or die out. 

    RISC is the future. And simply slapping on some efficiency cores may help battery life when not doing much but won’t change performance s d will take more power under performance load. 

    Intel needs to develop a fresh RISC fab. They could spend a couple years and develop an all new thing. 

    But they aren’t going to. And they will diminish severely. Sad day. 

    If emulating Apples M1 design were actually helpful, other ARM based competitors would be matching it already. They aren’t. Because it can’t be emulated. M1 isn’t what it is because it has efficiency cores. And it isn’t what it is because it’s started out from an ARM based core. It is what it is due to the proprietary design chips of (formerly) P.A. SEMI. 

    Apple has the best chip design team on the planet. And that won’t change.

  • Japan plans to fine Apple over app stores and force sideloading

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    The EU disease is infecting the planet. 

    When Sony is forced to allow Apple and nintendo and microsoft to have their App Stores on PlayStation and tv sets, then we can talk.  

    Such nonsense.

  • Apple shows MR headset to executives ahead of rumored June unveiling

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    The whole thing sounds very un-apple. 

    Be interesting to see how this shakes out. 

    Would be great if Apple had a sub brand to test the market with. Don’t sully the Apple brand with possible duds. 

    Heck, it would be better if it was branded Beats than Apple if this is how they’re approaching it.

  • Epic vs Apple suit finally ends, as Supreme Court refuses to hear both appeals

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Lol epic. 

    You get to compete - as a developer. Against other developers. But you don’t get to act as the platform itself. You don’t get to go to Barnes and noble and try to set up your own bookstore inside. You can pay a fee to have r book sold there.

  • 'Verifiably untrustworthy' Epic Games iOS app store plans in EU killed by Apple

    This doesn't look good for Apple on the face of it.

    Apple has the last word on 'trust'?

    I can't see that going down well in the EU. 

    I suppose Epic will accuse Apple of discrimination. 

    We'll see. 

    Previous judgements disagree with you. Apple indeed has “sole discretion.” 

    It’s not like epic didn’t breach the contract. End of.

    epic going on to criticize apple is a smokescreen. Being critical doesn’t award you what you lost due to illegal activity. 

    Epic violated their contract and paid the price. Inciting a mob doesn’t change that. Epic can be mad, but only at themselves. Shameful really. 

    Goodbye epic. Good luck on your own.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Looks horrible. Total bill gates need level. Non even resembles apple design. Wastes battery with the outside screen. 

    And you wear the thing from your head to your waist? Serious? 

    Looks like it was meant to be glasses but apple wanted to rush it out before the glasses could be feasible. 

    Looks like a solution looking for a problem. 

    Actually could be a problem. Amazing that this product is announced right after Sumbul Dasani addresses the problems of having a screen too close to your eyes - and this thing puts the screen less than an inch away. 

    Not compelling. But a fun toy. 

    At least they got a Jony Ive soundalike to talk about the “design.” LOL

    Iger talking up these amazing new experiences that are just vague ideas, but ending with the reality: “oh. Um. Disney plus.” Pretty sad. So far, not really different use cases than other devices.
