  • Johny Srouji says the Apple Silicon strategy challenged Apple

    plymouthpatsfanplymouthpatsfan
    every time some shift like this happens, I go back and reread stories about NeXT and Jobs' wilderness years away from Apple.  It's astonishing that he and the NeXT team followed the technology and seemingly lost every battle until he (and they) ultimately won the war.  Learning to port NeXTSTEP OS to other chip architectures in the early 90s is still paying dividends today on a scale they couldn't have possibly imagined when they were just trying to survive.  shocking success story, really.

    been there so many times and I drive a 4Runner.  if he was going 60MPH when he hit the glass he had a maximum 330 foot start (according to Google Earth) from Crate and Barrel across the parking lot.  4Runner is 0-60 in 7.7 seconds.  I'm just saying.. that thing was floored for 100 yards?  I dunno, man.

  • Apple facing new $5.5 billion App Store antitrust lawsuit in the Netherlands

    I’m old school Apple and I’m Dutch. I remember Steve being pissed at Microsoft (re it’s market dominance) and we were able to download software from wherever we wanted. There were risks but so is driving a bicycle. I believe that customers should be free to choose from wherever you they want to to buy (paid or free). Apple changed their business model (or adjusted it as it saw fit) and me as a consumer had to adjust with. I sincerely hope Apple will be forced to open up and allow companies to offer downloads for free or paid (outside of the App Store directly onto your phone) and or allow companies to sell directly their software outside of the App Store. 
    I mean this sincerely... do you believe that PCs are different than Phones?  And if not... they why not buy an Android and get the open platform that a PC was always built to be?  If you do... does the integrity of the Apple curated platform mean something to you?  It does to me and I don't want to see that value promise compromised.

    And if he was pressing on the gas, thinking it was the brake that would do it. Especially if the car accelerates, he panics, presses harder on the “brake” and it accelerates more, and he panics more… It’s not an uncommon accident. 
    it's not, unfortunately.. you hear about it usually when some elderly person drives through the front wall of a cvs, for example.  but never fast enough to go all the way to the back of the store.  if 60MPH is correct.. then he had his foot on that pedal for a long time... and the angle he had to take to miss the restaurant and hit that window... to me it certainly appears to show some intent.  but hey, they will get the data from the car and turn his life upside down.  they'll figure it out.  but I don't believe for a second that he was getting his glasses fixed in Hingham when he lives in Natick which is 30 miles away.

    anyone think this is a coincidence now that apple has introduced privacy and ad-blocking measures into iOS that block Google and Facebook from exploiting customer data?  I sure don't.

    LOL

    I like Phil, but this little passive aggressive move is so lame. 

    I get that Apple execs (many of whom drive Teslas and hope to compete with a car of their own) dislike Musk for competitive reasons - and that he is a bit more of a Steve Jobs than Cook is, but this is just childish. Twitter finally has good leadership and is the same media outlet they knew and loved. Just use it like you do everything else. 

    I can just see these guys sweating through their withdrawals over a few days before deactivating and some moving to inferior services just because. Hilarious. 
    dumbest take ever.  and I mean.. ever.

  • Driver that plowed through Hingham Apple Store indicted for murder

    sad to see this, but I never felt that it was accidental.  justice for the victims.
    I never thought it was deliberate. I’ve read too many cases of where someone huts the brake, but has their foot on the gas without realizing it. The car accelerates rather than stopping, and they panic. They push harder and harder on what they think is the brake and the car just goes faster. It’s not really that uncommon of an accident. 

    And no there will be no justice in this case. The people hit are still harmed. He will be punished for a stupid accident, not deliberate assault (and what will his spending ten years or so in jail going to do for the victims). Everyones lives will be ruined. Nobody will win.
    I drive a 4Runner and I've been there many times.  I'm going to go with law enforcement and the prosecutors who have all the evidence and have decided to charge him with murder and vehicular homicide.

    that's his statement... but I drive a 4Runner and don't buy it for a second.  Even if I did it's not a straight line to enter the Apple Store, he had to deliberately steer the vehicle to get it to where it crashed into the glass.
