  • Editorial: Apple is making us wait for a new iMac for no good reason

    mitchelljdmitchelljd
    It is time for Apple to offer yearly product updates.   this is absurd at this point.

  • Editorial: New Mac Pro highlights the gap Apple isn't filling

    mitchelljdmitchelljd
    The problem of needing a Mac like this is not new,  it’s been known by many names, including the “mythical midrange Mac”. A minitower with expandability not offered by a Mac mini, and not like the massive power of the Mac Pro when it is released. 

    The need is there,  i’d love a nicely powered Mac like one which is missing sorely.

  • Apple shuts down Epic Games developer account

    mitchelljdmitchelljd
    Quench,  so you believe that Apple owns a piece of all revenues from anything on their devices?

    wasnt that way with Macs and ought not be a walled garden with a 30% Apple tax.   iPads and phones ought not be so locked down,  it is anti consumer

    So Epic agreed to the contract because they know Apple has an enormous base of customers. Then epic got greedy and thought they could be dishonorable and cheat the company (Apple) that helped them become a worldwide sensation.
    epic you suck for your dishonesty, lying to customers when you blamed Apple for the situation that you forced onto itself, stealing from the company that made you extremely wealthy. 
    I don’t care what quality games you produce, I will not support a greedy, lying, stealing company ever again.
    I'm done with you epic!

  • Apple's Eddy Cue says Google is default search engine because it is the best option

    Google just pays Apple the most $$$ for the privilege , hence why its the "best" option.

  • Is Apple "trying" hard enough with the Mac?

    mitchelljdmitchelljd

    No argument from me on your thoughts but i would add:

     

    1- Apple is slow to offer new models with advancements and new tech.  Examples are obviously, Mac Pro almost 2 years since last model without even minor tweaks or updated graphics card options.  Just recently, the new iMac models were released with the 21" versions using last years Intel Chips,  and none of the iMacs have USB-C.

     

    2- Apple locks their computers down. not only making them very hard to upgrade, but they are proprietary parts and even soldering ram onto motherboards prohibiting consumers from doing it themselves.    So from SSD drives, RAM or graphics cards.  Consumers are screwed. 

     

    Would it kill Apple to offer more frequent product updates?  Yes, it would require new logic boards, but when a company is so massive, they can afford it.  The Mac Product line profits could pay for it.   more people would buy Macs if they did even modest mid year refreshes.  



    Apple is treating Macintosh's as hobby and it's starting to make me wonder about the Hackintosh possibilities and think that Windows 10 may be a real viable option.
