This is just more nonsense from the UK government in the guise of protecting the public. It’s not that at all. It’s also very simple: if developers don’t want to pay then they can market their product by other means. If the public thinks something i…

At a simpler level, why should Apple open up access to its, no doubt, extremely expensive and secure systems? These are systems for which the buying public expects to have at no direct cost (you buy a device and pay for an app, with all that infrast…

I can with BP and my daughter does with Shell already here in the UK.

There are some comments earlier on which I wish to comment. 1. Why should Apple be broken up because users of phones don’t protect them with passwords or parental protections? How will that help? 2. Devices ‘forget’ passwords so using phone generate…

There are comments above which suggest Apple Pay is a monopoly. It plainly isn’t. It just links Apple Pay, as a convenient way to pay using a phone or watch to pretty much any bank account. Apple Pay is merely a facilitator to pay from any bank car…

The reduction in subscribers is due to a number of reasons: cost, variety, competition, people going back to work after lockdown. I share my daughter’s subscription (she is in the same house) and I wouldn’t have my own if she moved away. All the pro…

Why have successive UK governments not taken action against Microsoft for its ubiquitous Office suite?
-
As with any company, Apple should employ the best people for the job, not because they are male or female, of a particularly chosen gender or none, or because of race, colour, nationality or creed. It should also be borne in mind we are not all the …

This is not down to Apple. If the daughter was using the father’s account he would have had the email notifications, as I do on my Family Sharing account.

What an extraordinary claim by Microsoft. Just look at the ubiquity of Windows and Office.

I agree with Thinkman’s comment. We in the UK enjoy this stuff, too. My only other comment would be that Series 2 was much more ‘soapy’ than Series 1 which I thought was a shame. Series 1 was measured and serious, whereas Series 2 was shouty and …

Here we go again. There is clearly a fundamental flaw in the US legal system which allows this nonsense.

I really hope no car actually looks like that.

It is entirely reasonable for Apple to set a standard by which app developers comply. Why should Apple provide the App Store free? It has cost Apple a huge amount to create it. Plainly many developers are happy enough to pay a fee. When you go shopp…

If a company wishes to use Apple’s infrastructure, presumably it should pay. If it doesn’t want to pay, it sets up an alternative. I think it can also be assumed Apple spent and continues to spend substantial sums setting up and running the App Sto…

I am pleased other folks have problems with Siri. I find I say ‘Hey, Siri’ and end up with all my five devices answering, unless I put all but one well away. My HomePod via Siri often can’t find music in my library, even though it is either bought f…

Second series are often not as good as the first, particularly for programmes with a very narrow main story. It is better to quit while you’re ahead.

And, of course, Apple has never changed a connector….

Apple makes products which look fantastic, are all integrated, are astonishingly well designed and made and produce extremely high quality results. This applies to hardware and software. There is a price to be paid for all of this, of course, and i…

I think I’ll sue manufacturers of CDs and DVDs. The reason: when I was 9 (nearly 60 years ago) I wrote a sci-fi story for homework which included film stored on a small silver disk. I also invented an invisible door controlled by laser. Stuff couldn…
