  • Judge in Epic v. Apple trial presses Tim Cook on App Store model, competition

    To paraphrase the judge. What’s wrong with Amazon providing a link to allow customers cheaper option to buy stuff elsewhere?   Wait that doesn’t make any sense here either

  • AirPods to gain lossless streaming capabilities via software update, says leaker

    "Technically, it is impossible to broadcast a truly lossless audio file over the APTX Bluetooth connection that Apple uses. Furthermore, the limitations of a USB to Lightning cable for AirPods Max preclude it on that platform as well". oopsie, should say AAC

    from henrybay:

    "The only reason Apple persists with this ridiculously shallow butterfly keyboard is because they have invested so much money into the project and are too proud to admit they made a mistake"

    Sorry, that doesn't even sound plausible.  While there are those, like you, who take a hard line position on this, you don't for a fraction of a second think Apple tests this with customer groups?  There must be many who think they work just fine, or Apple would not continue to make computers they couldn't sell.

    I have tested the keyboards (but don't own one yet - still happy with my 4 yo MBP), and they seem fine, any new keyboard takes a bit to get used to, but that takes a few days, then you are over it.  and your wrong - the best keyboard is the apple magic keyboard!

    Opencl is deprecated, on the Mac so how is graphics comparison for opencl even relevant?

    how about a test for real life performance?   No doubt the razed is better at gaming, but who cares, no one buys a Mac for gaming

  • Apple executives say creating Mac Studio was 'overwhelming'

    These self-congratulatory things Apple does occasionally should be a bit embarrassing.  The Mac Studio looks like a big Mac Mini and it’s the very computer people have requested for years. Apple folks were not psychic when they determined the need and didn’t come up with a revolutionary new design. Good on you for making the Studio Display speakers good. Why is the camera garbage?

    I seem to recall Ive or somebody gushing over the shape of the Apple Pencil or something like that. It’s some kind of joke. 
    if you have read about the issue, you would know that the camera is not garbage at all, it is a very good camera getting great reviews on other products.  What was actually revealed was that there was a last minute software update to fix something, that threw the camera out of whack.  Prepare for an update and to eat your words

    Kindof boring hearing the incessant complaint about 1 chip vs 2 in the 256 gb SSD.  IT IS NOT SLOWER THERE IS JUST 1 chip instead of 2.  Also.  Even if the performance is lower than a 2 chip configuration, it still blows away the equivalent Dell, and the 2 chip smears the dell. So, yes, chip shortages aside, 2 chips would be better, I would never buy anything less than 512, plenty of room, 256 not enough.   But class 50 dell only 1 gb - pathetic
