Beats said: I can install anything in my Mac too, including Windows!! Can’t do that on a windows machine. And they allow 3rd party payments and stores? Heck I’m setting up shop on Xbox selling crappy games then. True, but Apple is the on…

brian.on.android said: I think people would lay off Apple if they would just allow third party payment systems fully. Developers already spend $99+ a year for distribution of their apps in the app store. 3rd party payments require $0 for App…

What about Microsoft buying pretty much every games development studio under the sun? They've been consolidating quite a few of late - more so than Sony has, that's for sure. Will there be any games companies left that aren't owned by Microsoft or…

dope_ahmine said: @mbdrake76 Lucky you. You must basically live on top of a GFN server that is hooked straight into a Fortnite server. In Europe it’s hard to reach 60 fps at 1080 when playing this game, even with Gb/s internet connections. Mo…

I often play Fortnite on my 14" MacBook Pro M1 Pro via GeForce Now RTX3080 tier at Epic settings with a resolution of 1440p and it's absolutely fine - every bit as good as playing it natively on my HP Omen laptop with RTX2060. Providing you've got …

M68000 said: Why are people so up in arms about this? If you have nothing to hide why are you fighting Apple’s attempt to make the world safer from criminals and sick people? This “ceo” made the amazingly stupid comment about “presumption …

The EU Commission apparently wants to do people's thinking for them. I was never under the impression there wasn't any competition. Everybody knows about Spotify, and I'm fully aware that I subscribe via the web site and pay there and not the App …

foregoneconclusion said: mbdrake76 said: For Apple (at least), the situation is all over the place. A film/TV distributor can pull an item from being sold through iTunes/Apple TV, but still keep it in the library for download (and strea…

foregoneconclusion said: mbdrake76 said: But it still mentions 'download' / 'redownload' and not 'streaming/playback' - unless Apple is using 'download' and 'redownload' as a general term for playing the content (by which the mechanism of…

AppleZulu said: There should probably be more clarity with all this, but it doesn't seem as difficult as it's being made out to be. It has always been true that when purchasing copies of recorded content, music, motion pictures, books, etc.,…

foregoneconclusion said: mbdrake76 said: Heck, even Apple's own marketing states: "Buy. Rent. Watch. All inside the app. Welcome to the new home of thousands of films, including the latest blockbusters from iTunes. Now you can buy, rent a…

davidw said: mbdrake76 said: This is absolutely not a frivolous case and isn't wasting the court's time (as evidenced by a judge). How many people honestly believe "buy" is simply a case of licensing? I'm willing to bet your ave…

EsquireCats said: DoomFreak said: Apple is full of crap. It is very misleading to tell users they can purchase something with a "Buy" button and then suggest that they do not own it. I think they would get a lot less money , if they …

JMaille said: The judge should have dismissed the lawsuit, he is wasting the time of the court system and taxpayer money. The lawsuit is nonsense and those arguing otherwise are, from what I can see, simply attacking Apple. “Buy” is the cor…

Perfectly happy to allow Apple to be the whipping boy for this - hopefully other digital stores will get the point as a result. In the 500+ purchases of movies via iTunes/Apple TV, I've been fortunate (at least to my knowledge as Apple doesn't tell…

hodar said: So, basically Parallels remains a waste of money for anyone who bought an M1 Mac. Rehash MY user case; which is probably a significant number of user cases. Why did I buy Parallels? Why pay $$ for this program? So, I can h…

With 11.1, macOS had major problems determining the resolution and refresh rate of my USB-C connected external BenQ EX2780Q to my 16" MacBook Pro. Usually booted into a lower resolution and/or 60Hz refresh rate rather than 144Hz. Switching the mon…

Vertical video? Yuck. If Apple thought vertical video was super great, they would have bought Quibi (which, from what I understand, at least tried to frame shots that worked both vertically AND horizontally). They didn't.

StrangeDays said: Yup, one can use a networked iTunes library on ATV today. Okay, if we were to go down a NAS route: for sharing downloaded iTunes files what If Apple were to bring out their own compact NAS unit that supported both Time …
