Apple hasn't been perfect since Tim took the helm but I would agree with the article; overall they are doing well.

Oh, and they were perfect under Jobs? Deal with your Cook hatred.

Did he say he hated Cook? Was Jobs’ name even mentioned?  I must have missed that.

Is he suing his parents as well. They undoubtedly signed all the required releases.

If he didn't pose with the album cover, not a soul in the world would know it was him as a baby.

As usual, AI avoids several pertinent facts of this story. Like, his parents supposedly never signed a release for the photo and they were not compensated for its use. And you’re right, nobody would know, or even care, that he was the baby in the photo if not for him self-promoting the fact since he was 17. Plus, for someone that suffered “lifelong damage”, $150k per defendant (17 of them) seems sort of low considering his attorneys will end up banking a nice chunk of it. 

Good riddance.
My enthusiasm for this series started to fade around the 6-7 episode once I realized that nothing was happening. The last several were only watchable in 15-20 minute chunks at a time. Its was just sooooo boring. I’m all about a slow burner,  but anything with a 900 page source has more than enough material to keep things moving along. Combined with the mediocre acting of Hunnam, and the positive aspects of the series were quickly outnumbered. Seriously, the dude might play a pretty good biker, but everything I’ve seen him in since SoA finds him playing the exact same character. Jax is dead…it’s time to move on and develop a little range. 

In other words, Apple has some new updates to their operating systems, but we’ll just have to wait to find out what they are?

Apple has announced a new Apple Music service, but it's not the classical one it's promised for before the end of the year. Instead, it's Apple Music Sing, which leverages Apple Music's lyrics to provide a Karaoke-style experience.

Read on AppleInsider

When did Apple ever promise the Apple Music Classical service to be released by the end of the year? I do not even recall them announcing said service, let alone promising a release timeframe.

When they announced the Primephonic acquisition. It’s in the last paragraph of the press release…

HOW DOES ONE DISABLE THE ALERTS?

In Settings, go to Notifications. Scroll to the very bottom and under “Government Alerts” click Amber Alerts “off”. Couldn’t be easier…(unless they put the Gov alerts on the top of the page).

If only someone could have warned us…

The Oceanic+ app is also a subscription-only app and at $80 yearly, will be a dealbreaker for many.

Like who?  The people that can afford an expensive hobby such as diving? Plus the $800 for their Ultra? Are you really saying that $80 for a lifesaving app is going to be the dealbreaker for them? 

I really love reading all these posts calling for Apple to pull out of every country where they face antitrust pressure. Executing a business strategy based on emotion rather than logic or reason is simply brilliant. Like a spoiled child who takes all his toys and goes home whenever things don’t go his way. Just genius-level thinking there.
