Too many cooks -- it's doomed to fail. But I'm guessing the banks are nervous about Apple's and Google's digital wallets someday replacing them. I suppose if Apple and Google add loans and investments to their wallets, brick-and-mortar banks won't h…

I was part of the small developer class action lawsuit in the US, and am owed several thousand $. Unfortunately the claims administrator in the US is incapable of competently disbursing the funds and has gone unresponsive. Any other devs in a simila…

I think the Apple Store employees SHOULD organize, but I take the press releases from the unions with a grain of salt. Very big grain. Also, are employees who join the union ineligible for management positions? That could be a big disincentive to jo…

Disney DOES have the LARGEST back catalog of content -- Marvel, Mickey Mouse, Star Wars, Lucasfilm, 20th Century, National Geographic, ABC, ESPN, princess movies, Disney channel, Disney+, Hulu, Pixar. WB Discovery in comparison is very, very tiny. …

This is a feature that other handset manufacturers and Google won't easily be able to copy. Who else would set up all the infrastructure required? Carrier Tmobile might get there, but I imagine their satellite plans will work best with iPhones that …

I don’t mind Apple removing old apps from the store. But as a developer, I really wish they would fix a related bug. Apps that have been pulled from the store don’t work with TestFlight. TestFlight has become an essential tool for developers, and bl…

Something BMW needs to add first is turn indicators to indicate lane changes and turns. AFAIK, every other car manufacturer has blinkers, but apparently BMWs do not.

Swatch's appropriation of Apple trademarks cheapens its brand. Similar to Xiaomi dressing the CEO like Steve Jobs and recreating Apple keynotes in 2013, or Samsung copying the iPhone UX in 2010. OTOH, both Xiaomi and Samsung sell a lot of phones, so…

I recall that when OS X was new, I owned a few apps that arranged their preferences in the same way as System Preferences, but they all eventually changed. Maybe it was too much expense for developers to design icons for each new subsection in prefe…

It's great that Apple offers an iPad at around $300 -- everyone I've bought these for thought they were wonderful. Those devices work great for consumption -- media playback, email, internet. For more creative users I'd buy the Air or Pro with bigge…

Beats said: I would love for Apple to add glucose monitoring to Watch I'm sure a group at Apple is working hard at this. It's the most popular feature Apple could add. Every diabetic with the means would buy an Apple Watch. And I imagine …

Was Newton really as big a disaster as one commenter claims? The size, the pen, ARM chips, touch interface, 3rd party apps -- it clearly inspired the devices we use today. The major problem was ARM chips in 1993 just weren't fast enough. If Newtons …

I'm a longtime developer, and this is nothing new. It's been going on for years. If you don't update your app for several years, Apple pulls them, with 30 days warning. It may seem harsh to some, but it's fair. Users don't want to slog through ancie…

For years now, Comixology has been encouraging us to click the My Books button to access our purchased comics (this is in a browser on a computer). On the new website, I have no idea how to read my thousands of books. Anyone have an idea? At this po…

I agree that Apple's recent designs aren't amazing or surprising, but functionally the new MacBook Pro is a HUGE improvement over the 2016 design. The Mac Pro is also a good design. As for Tesla, I find most of their cars eyesores, especially the re…

You'd think for all that money, they wouldn't both be eyesores. At least the Steve Jobs one is kinda cute like a ferry boat. The Jeff Bezos one is hideous in every way.
