I hope Apple is secretly funding DuckDuckGo.

Okay, from the comments of others I think I get it now. The allegations are indeed from long ago, but they're not even allegations about the characters who the show is about, but they're allegations about the son of one of the main characters, and H…

This is a weird article. I was trying to imagine what it would mean for a fortune 500 company to _not_ use any Apple products. It's hard to even imagine. If iOS has, let's say, 13% marketshare, that's one in every 8 people who are using an iPhone. W…

Call me a free market guy, but this just sounds like straight up censorship. I'm from Canada, and the Canadian gov't pulls the same crap. It's nominally to protect Canadian artists and workers. But it makes me angry that there is content that is on …

I was actually thinking the same thing. Maybe they'll never update iTunes/Apple Music for Windows. Maybe this is it. I never imagined they'd do this, and I don't know why I'd use it rather than the new macOS Apple Music app. But, for other platforms…

Ive is probably bored with designing another iPhone, another iPad, another MacBook. These devices hit the peak of their design "form" years ago. Imagine being asked to design a new pencil (real pencil, not Apple Pencil), or a new shovel, every year.…

"people have values, corporations are made of people, and therefore corporations should have values." I believe this is the fallacy of composition. It simply isn't the case that because corporations are composed of people that that implies that c…

I know this is for the security of the platform, and that it's more or less transparent to the end user. But, it feels like something else is dying in the process. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Ignore me. I misread the price of the US version.

“the fact is that TV sets today are a lot closer to computer monitors than they have ever been.” I’m gonna guess that the author is just too young to remember the days when computers didn’t ship with monitors, and instead had video ports designed s…

Speech marks? Is this a new term for quotes?

It's funny, and Samsung is completely shameless. However, it doesn't have anything to do with "class" that Apple doesn't mock Samsung in its ads. It's just classic marketing, when you're ahead of the competition, you never mention the competition.…
