profdraper said: And so why exactly should we believe that Apple is any more ethical here than others like Google +, Facebook and the rest? Just because Apple says so? Please .... All are American, money-fascinated & tarred with exactly t…

kmarei said: the killer app is now something that has a pretty front end (something like popcorn time) that pulls content from all the streaming packages you subscribe to, and shows it all on one interface without me needing to remember whic…

I think one issue MS still has is that it is too quick to crank something out and then abandon it just as quickly. Remember Zune? Nobody wants to invest in abandonware.

I hear the trolls shrieking in force but they're not saying much about Apple's competitors are they...?

Another possibility is a new flat lens technology that is thinner than a hair and also does night vision... https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-10/uou-ttw100719.php

avon b7 said: Cook didn't deal with the App Store monopoly issue. He skirted it. The question is not that Apple offers this or that and users can get content that Apple doesn't offer via a web browser. The question is that there is no other…

foljs said: firelock said: Thank you for this article. This explains why there is so much European-produced TV content popping up in Hulu (Das Boot), HBO (Chernobyl), etc. I think EU over-regulation is going to really hamper Internet c…

tht said: I do think the larger display size is a very good thing to do. They increased it 10% over the 9.7” at the cost of only 4% in weight. That’s a great trade. For the iPad Pro models, I think they should increase screen sizes furthe…

mjtomlin said: This could potentially lead to some of those developers going out of business or no longer having an interest in iOS development. Thus, saving Apple from directly stepping in and "scolding" those developers and getting the normal…

Latko said: The minimal distinction between Apple and the “evel” data collectors is that Apple collects and sells aggregate, anonymized data. That is, you as an individual still exist, but only under a cumbersome id (instead of your name) tha…

"That said, an Apple Card is a bit useless to you without at least an iPhone. So you could argue that the up-front cost of Apple Card is a lot more than Amazon's." Umm, no. Unless you need to switch from Android to iPhone you most likely already h…

I love how the media idiotically conflates fewer disengagements with safer. It just means the car is racking up miles and not learning anything. For the fastest development of AI you actually need new events that it can learn from not repetitions…

I find it difficult to believe that Bloomberg would risk fabricating this whole story. It seems more likely that deals were made behind the scenes to use this to pressure China to back off on IP theft and open up their markets. Apple and Amazon wo…
