Exactly! CNBC approached this as if it were a profit making venture for Apple. It isn't. It's a service that everybody (except Apple) benefits from. In fact, it is costing Apple's shareholders the cost of development and maintenance. Obvious…

It amazes me to see more and more developers who feel entitled to have their app on the App Store with free distribution, investing very little money for Apple’s developer program (which used to be far more costly with far less benefits) and zero in…

Thanks for paying some tribute to Christmas and Thanksgiving! Nowadays anything resembling American or Christian history is subject to ‘reevaluation’ and cancelling, and Christmas especially seems like it’s on thin ice. Christmas has been a joy for…

Surprisingly good show which I’ve been enjoying a lot. The last episode was weird but still good. My only complaint is the transparently woke preaching in the first episode with Dr Sharon (and a bit here and there since). It’s as if a black person …

It’s really depressing that developers (and users) have gotten to the point where they believe a creator of a device can have a wrongful ‘monopoly’ over the device they created, as if somehow we are entitled to have that device and that the creator …

Many of these ‘woke’ ideas come from a naive view of the world. Many of us feel so entitled due to the immense successes of Western ideas. I’d say to let them have at it and then ruin Apple so that they can see for themselves their folly. But the re…

Anyone who believes this will be limited to child pornography is beyond naive. This is how ‘overreach’ is accomplished. You can look at the government’s coronavirus response to see exactly how it’s done. Little by little the authoritarian approach …

The biggest shame here is that so many in the population do not see how leaders lying ‘for the greater good’ has become increasingly acceptable. The blatant lying and hypocrisy of politicians such as AOC (and many others, she just seems to be the qu…
