  • Why Apple will move Macs to ARM, and what consumers get

    cpsrocpsro
    Non-programmers—and more specifically, people who don't know assembly language—can't appreciate the significance of ARM64's support for twice as many general purpose registers as X64. For most high-level code, with all else being equal, this gives ARM64 a 20-30% speed advantage over X64, without any tweaking, because it avoids the CPU having to access relatively slow caches and main memory so often.
    Intel is stuck with X64 and the world is ready to move on.

  • Mac Pro in danger after fumbled Apple Silicon launch

    cpsrocpsro
    The biggest fail of all with the 2023 Mac Pro is it doesn’t have enough PCIE lanes to support all of its slots. Add one 16x card and you’ll be fine, but add a second and they each get only 8x. This is super sleezy in my opinion.

  • Green texts in iMessages nudge teens to use iPhones

    Apple led the way, now the others want it to conform. Yeah, sure.
    I never understood why Europeans went "whole hog" for WhatsApp. WhatsApp won't do anything until the user gives FaceBook access to their entire contacts, which you know gets uploaded whole hog to the mother roach. Before FB owned WhatsApp, it was the same way, and when the news came out that FB was buying the company, I was relieved to not have used it. Signal demands access to contacts, too, but doesn't upload or store them--or so they say.

  • Microsoft Windows 11 revealed with dramatic increase in system requirements

    macOS has a dock for 20+ years. 2021, Microsoft announces whiz-bang dock, where nothing stays where you put it.
    June 7, 2021, iPadOS 15 multitasking gets panned. June 24, 2021, Microsoft announces iPadOS 15-like multitasking.
    Apple lowers commissions. Microsoft lowers them further, in all-out effort to coerce more malware to the Mac.
    2020, Apple brings iOS apps to the Mac. 2021, Microsoft brings Android malware to Windows.

  • Apple Music trademark blocked over branding conflict with musician

    cpsrocpsro
    Apple's lawyers should've been able to swat this problem away without trouble.

    "AppleJazz Records began as a way for Charlie Bertini to promote the recordings of his "AppleJazz Band".
    So AppleJazz Records promotes the sale of recordings, not so much live concerts.

    His registered trademark is "Apple Jazz" (with a space), not "AppleJazz" (no space). He's not even using the registered trademark. If he stuck to using AppleJazz (no space), I don't see any confusion. His application even has the disclaimer "NO CLAIM IS MADE TO THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO USE "JAZZ" APART FROM THE MARK AS SHOWN." Well, what about the right to use APPLE? In my opinion, he doesn't mention APPLE, because his intent is not to obtain a trademark he wishes to use but only to interfere with Apple Inc. and obtain a lucrative settlement with the company.

    It was only in 2016 that Bertini finally applied for the "Apple Jazz" trademark (which he doesn't use), a year after Apple applied for theirs.

    Archive.org has old webpages from applejazz.com going back to 2004. Even then, Bertini was using AppleJazz (no space).

  • iPhone blamed for including journalist in highly classified bombing plans

    cpsrocpsro
    Government employees aren’t supposed to use Signal for policy discussions or war plans, because it doesn’t conform with the Presidential Records Act. The Biden administration knew this too and his staff were authorized to use Signal only for inconsequential communications like restaurant plans.

  • Google Photos to end free unlimited storage on June 1, 2021

    Google Photos isn’t free. The company retains a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right-to-use your pics for any money-making purpose the company chooses, even after you delete your photos and account.
    Inevitably whenever the subject of Photos comes up, someone posts this misinterpreted view of a bog standard Creative Commons software license.  Not really sure how this is still misunderstood by so many (yes, I'm generalizing, but you're not the first to post this. sadly you won't be the last either).  This license is common boilerplate for any company that interacts with customer data.   Yes, Apple has the same license in their ToS... as does FB, MS, Yahoo, Twitter, etc.  I could go on for a long time, but you get the point.  Any number of combinations of the search terms "royalty free" + "worldwide" + "license" + "terms of service" + Company X, will net you a Creative Commons license notification from that company.

    tl;dr That license doesn't mean what you think it means.


    You are so wrong. Clearly you’ve not read the license and understood it. No surprise. Google has carefully crafted a custom license that is difficult to interpret, but what I describe succinctly is correct... and the perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use is granted to Google alone. Google attempts to assuage users’ fears by stating users retain ownership of their pics, which is correct, but they are glossing over the sweeping rights granted to Google merely by using their ‘free’ service.

    By the way, Apple’s service licenses are far more clearly worded (last I checked!) and clearly state that data are only mined for the purpose of serving the user/customer. And if the user deletes their data, the data are in fact deleted.
