Bill Atkinson, pioneering early Apple engineer, dies at 74
Atkinson gave us HyperCard which in turn inspired the creation of both WWW and JavaScript. I loved HyperTalk.
And he developed overlapping windows as part of QuickDraw. Imagine not having them.
Not to mention his creation of MacPaint that defined image editing. The core tools and concepts in Photoshop still look and behave like MacPaint.
He should be remembered at apple.com and/or WWDC.

Apple supplier Pegatron says tariffs will mean third world-style shortages for US
mpantone said:They are called reciprocal because when one country applies a tariff to another, in almost all cases, that other country will apply the same tariff.
Lesotho is hit by 50% - a country doing 98.9% less per capita than the US is tariffed to death due to Levi's and their $3/day salaries. For the US to be a country so hungry for $3/day jobs that Africans must die for it?!
I miss the country of "The Hill We Climb". -
Apple ceases iPhone 14, third-gen iPhone SE sales in the EU
thrang said:Umm, so we really want the EU or other governments to start directing product development?
This time it is about Apple producing e-waste and letting taxpayers pay. Apple agreed 15 years ago to fix it but did nothing. What would you have done? -
iOS 26 is here with Liquid Glass redesign, new Camera, and Apple Intelligence promises

Apple supplier Pegatron says tariffs will mean third world-style shortages for US
In 2021 one (1) ship stopped all shipping between Asia and Europe for 6 days. It took 10x that time to get trade back. Tariffs have been increased since Feb 4th and the extremely high tariffs since April 9th. 22 days but 10x the duration to restore service. It doesn't help much that exports from China increased in March as it will only cover 3 days.
Factories are closing down making it even more difficult to return. US consumers are getting taxed twice reducing their spending power while margins and stocks are crashing. But inventory could keep shelves looking good for 30-100 days. Recovering from it will take much longer. The 2008 "Great Recession" caused 8-9 years of increased unemployment. It took more than a year to peak.

Apple will take a $33 billion hit to its bottom line because of Trump tariffs
Xed said:I get why a lazy grifter will keep on grifting if he can get away with it, but what is impossible for me to wrap my head around is why so many people see his pathetic coward and fool that cares nothing about them as some sort of strongman and protector.
Can it be fixed? I hope so. -
Why iPhone mirroring and Mac Live Activities aren't coming to the EU
rob53 said:Happy that Apple has started to challenge the corrupt EU. Apple is an American company that sells worldwide but I don't see any reason why Apple needs to include all their software for every country.
As for suggesting Apple to only play home ground games... how will that ever work? US is less than a quarter of global GDP. The world is mainly away games. You don't win unless you send your best. Even when the playing field is metricated. -
Apple fights India antitrust claims by boasting how much developers have been paid
The article is right that this is likely a study by Apple (or CCIA for Apple).
Professor Viswanath Pingali wrote something similar last year "India is not Europe" in a paper published for ICLE with 4 people from ICLE including the founder and a researcher that is close to Amazon. Viswanath Pingali was the only one being external. Together the five concluded that EU policies weren't in the best interest of India. He is also quoted by Google on how India should regulate Google less.
ICLE is funded by Amazon, Meta, and CCIA - the lobby organization for the computer industry where Apple is a prominent member. He is simply on repeat adding his name and title to publications funded by the computer industry.

What Apple products will get hit the hardest by Trump's new tariff orders
twolf2919 said:The announced tariffs on Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Khazakstan are tariffs the US will begin charging for goods coming into the US from those countries. As far as I know, Apple doesn't import goods - INTO THE US - from any of these countries. It is importing parts from them into China, Taiwan, and India - so these US tariffs are irrelevant, no?
It does block Apple from moving production to the US. If Apple produced chips in the US, exported for assembly, and imported... the entire phone would be hit. The only way to avoid it would be to let all components and assembly happen in the US. Much easier to keep parts manufacturing in place but shuffle assembly to a low-tariff, semi-low-wage country. Cost of repairs is likely to increase as batteries, displays,... are delivered directly and take the full hit from tariffs.
