She’s back. I am sure the legal department at Apple wants to slit their wrists at this point.

I would recommend if anyone wants to have a glimpse into the future of EU app stores, listen to the FT podcast tech tonic and their multipart series about Chinese technology. One of the podcasts is about the android OS penetration in Africa where m…

I subscribe to one of my local newspapers. It is such a challenge to access their website on my iPhone because their website is over run with advertisements. When I scroll, I accidentally touch an ad which launches a video amd stops me from readin…

Again as others have written, this suit seems to have been written at the behest of Apple’s competitors and not to protect consumers against the things that truly bother us- online criminality such as fake malware apps, cyber crime, excessive tracki…

The stock bounce was a given when Federighi donned his hair helmet and led a parachute drop out of the Phil Shiller piloted Apple plane, best intro to WWDC ever.

He is becoming increasingly unhinged. Satellite imaging shows tens of thousands of unsold Teslas stockpiled in parking lots that are unsold. I personally saw a parking lot with over a 100 cybertrucks in a parking lot in NW Houston. X continues to…

With the recent Adobe fiasco (yet another) where cloud data is actively policed and mined for Adobe’s benefit and the lack of copyright protection for the open-source LLMs of the world, the idea of a private cloud compute is genius. Despite Nvidia’…

“ My grandiose notion of a neurodivergent communication tool, swirling around my friend's more general purpose product concept, launched a partnership to move forward in beginning the creation of a new mobile app. We are approaching a Minimum Viable…

Agree with the above comments. I think these suits have less to do with being pro-consumer and more about the breaking down of security and just dumping on Apple for the sake of fines and jn the case of the EU, bolstering local tech companies. Unf…

Agree! With the anti-stalking software, I suspect only stupid criminals are using AirTags this way since there are alternatives that don’t let people know a tag is following them. I misplaced my AirTag marked keys this last week and found them in …

Agree with the majority here, if the EU is true about a commitment to consumer rights than the ability to remove garbage from a website and not be tracked by intrusive advertisers from site to site should be a priority over the media companies. But…

Love the article DED. You remember history that us mere mortals tend to forget. The other issue is that MSFT has evolved to a service first industry and like all of the PC industry—hardware (including servers) are sold close to cosf to subsidize s…

Oh gawd, that rig needs to be streamlined and mass produced and honestly this will be AVPro’s killer application but when? Honestly even though I don’t watch sports it would induce me to almost buy an AVPro and a MLS subscription. Would be great t…

I think the generative AI versus Siri battle is a-bit overblown. Generative AI like any variety of ChatGPT requires huge investments in “off of device” infrastructure (billions of dollars to Nvidia to support its 78% profit margin) whereas Siri rea…

This is completely believable, Apple has the funds and between the iPhonePros, iPadPros and MacBooks they should be able to soak up TSMC’s bleeding edge (after all these are the most popular products on the planet). Articles about TSMC consistently…

I think the UK/EU (and really every other government agency) needs to decide if they want to prioritize the consumer and the internet writ large or other business interests. Between pop-ups, surveys, requests for email, tracking permission, the occ…

nubus said: retrogusto said: Since 2012, Apple has bought back shares worth $674.9 billion, mostly at a price well below where it’s currently trading, so in retrospect it looks like a pretty good use of the funds Buying back shares …

As others have just posted the revenue stream is not just from selling services to the customers directly but by selling data to insurance companies, advertisers and I would add law enforcement to the mix.

The internet is dead from scam websites, pop-up reviews for every trivial task, click bait headlines, AI-pushed addiction feeds etc etc. I love Apple Insider and I pay the subscription and would be willing to pay more for it so I do want this site …

The idea that some want people to go through a new set-up process in their old phone for the sake of browser choice is having the cure be worse than the disease. The Apple approach of having a Safari start-up be the trigger for this seems better fo…
