nunzy said: The technology press lied and lied about iPhone x sales. Thank you Daniel for setting the record straight. Why why does the mainstream media hate Apple so much? I think that they are jealous. Apple hatred is a combination of …

Dracarys said: It's come to the point where if DED writes something you know the competition is doing something right. Everything is just twisting the truth into lies to show that the competition is failing and Apple is winning. ... When t…

sfolax said: I used to enjoy DED articles, but to be honest this constant bickering and "everyone else is wrong" is starting to get boring and monotonous. At least the other writers here bring some variety in their articles. Dilger specia…

I sincerely hope that Apple's products never have backdoors, and I see no problem with RGS Principles 1-5 — but in this new, 6th principle, we hear this: Requiring technology companies to engineer vulnerabilities into their products and services wou…

Radarthekat: exactly right. Apple could pay itself the 30%, but that wouldn't mean anything. Apple, however, has to shoulder the burden of running the whole store, dealing with the credit card companies, etc. Its developers do not; that's why they p…

"Legal or not, tax evasion is a scourge that plagues [blablabla...]" "Tax evasion," like "assault and battery," is illegal by definition. "Tax avoidance," like "self-defense," is perfectly legal, also by definition. To publicly accuse Apple of tax …

Sharma has called Apple's leaders "anti-consumer," because they "are violating the right of the user to willingly share his/her own data ... why should it not be allowed?" Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? But what it means in practice is that the app …

"Unfair contracts and unjust app store pricing schemes?" That's pretty vague. Never mind the fine; what I want to know is, what permanent changes to the App Store is France planning to require?

Note that Apple's original goal for iPhone's first full calendar year was a very modest 10 million units (it sold 13). And that was a few years before iPhone took off like a rocket, and even more years before everybody and their sister absolutely ha…

CR thrives when there's a confusing sea of products from many different makers, and no clear standout. That's when people really want to buy a copy of CR before they splurge on a set of speakers. But when there's an obvious, standout, fantastic prod…

Judges are not supposed to use court orders as bluffs, to see if they can get somebody to do something. They're supposed to issue court orders only when they are mentally and legally ready to issue arrest warrants as the next step, if the order is d…

Maybe now they can finally stop running absurdly anti-Apple pieces by Rebecca Greenfield ("The Post-Steve Jobs Decline of Apple’s Genius Design Theory"; "Suddenly Microsoft is the Hippest Tech Company Around"), Adam Clarke Estes ("[O]ne things [sic]…

Of course Qualcomm wants an out-of-court settlement. If they get anything above and beyond what they agreed to get — when they signed FRAND contracts to have their patents included in the now-unavoidable cell tower network — then they'll be getting …

Once again, Gartner presents no row for Windows PCs; instead they lump Apple (actually Mac) in with Windows to present a "Total" decline of 2.4%. But if you subtract the Mac numbers from the "Total" numbers, you find that Windows PCs declined 2.9%, …

Hey, wasn't Google going to squelch this with an Android non-compete clause? Whatever happened to that?

entropys said: Qualcomm will probably still try to seek royalties from Apple as the Intel chip will still be using Qualcomm owned standards. So hit up Intel then also Apple for good measure, even though Intel has already paid the licence. It…

Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf: "Apple's complaint contains a lot of assertions, but in the end, this is a commercial dispute over the price of intellectual property." No, it's not, as I'm sure Mollenkopf knows very well. When Qualcomm (like many ot…

Especially delighted by this sentence: Colligan was eventually right in the sense that "PC guys" wouldn't be able to "walk in" ...on Apple. and this one: Rather than working out like Jobs' return to Apple, Rubinstein's webOS project ended up much mo…
