Who cares if PRISM is shutdown, they have a new program that everyone will deny until the next whistleblower comes forward. Echelon, Topsail, TIA (Total Information Awareness), TIA (Terroism Information Awareness), PRISM, etc. these programs come, …

The bill is obviously (intentionally?) badly written: one cannot prove a negative, “forbidden unless a company can guarantee that X not be the case” could simply be written as “forbidden” as nobody can guarantee that something isn’t the case. One ca…

Totally ludicrous claims. First and foremost, water resistant is not the same as water proof. If that were the case they would have to take the entire watch industry to court. Second, Apple referred to industry standards of water resistance, and …

The real issue isn’t if M$ is going to port Windows10-ARM in some secret handshake deal with Apple, the key question is, will Apple publicly document their hardware well enough that anyone can port any OS to it. Like running Linux, FreeBSD, bare me…

I wonder if Apple will resurrect BootCamp for an ARM64 version of Win10, which should work without too much ado, unless Apple makes the new Macs so closed you can’t boot ANY other OS, including ARM64-native FreeBSD, Linux, etc.

I hope that includes the information one needs to enter to use the apps. As Apple, thankfully, put the squeeze on apps' access to information useful for user tracking (device ID, MAC addresses, cookies, etc.) a lot of developer reach for the big gu…

if AppleSilicon is a lot more power efficient, most of the space now wasted on thermal management could be saved. that would result in significantly smaller systems without sacrificing anything at all

Kind of stupid to “diversify” to Chinese companies, amidst rising geopolitical tensions in that region, and an increasingly closed political climate under the current leadership there. It would be better to diversify to China’s rivals in the area: …

Long overdue! Phone locking is an incentive for phony calling plans with hidden costs, and allows carriers, even after equipment has long been paid for by correspondingly more expensive calling plans, to keep charging extra, or charge outrageous “u…

I hate to say it, but the woman has a point, and it’s Apple’s own fault: Apple’s justification for its walled garden approach to the appstore is safeguarding users, retaining a family friendly user environment, etc. I remember the brouhaha over IL…

Stupid to measure innovation by silly stuff like an L-shaped battery! The real innovations are in chip design and algorithms, e.g. for computational photography etc. If anything, simplifying the guts is a sign of higher levels on integration, whic…

If it’s not a glitch, then Amazon is clearly violating their agreement with MasterCard. Some companies, questionably discriminate against pre-paid, foreign, or debit cards. But it discriminating based on a bank or co-branding, that’s unheard of, an…

Disgusting that Apple would side with a vile authoritarian regime! Does it really have to be about gay rights before Tim Cook smells the coffee? 🤮 Apple has no right to banish Telegram over contents, particularly not over contents that could be acc…

Well, there’s international roaming. Just because carriers outside the US don’t support it, doesn’t mean that people traveling with their phones in the US don’t want to be able to use it.

Stereo pairs should always be matching speakers. However with two HomePods as main speakers, the minis should be good enough as surround speakers for a center and rear channels, provided Apple does it. certainly the minis should be ok for kitchen,…

Oh fuck that. Whenever they want to push through totalitarian laws, they come with tear jerkers as “sexually exploited children” or “terrorists”. As if spy agencies, like the five eyes, ever gave a fuck about children. Heck, they will partake in nar…

Why should Apple remove the apps? The Apps aren’t pirated. With the same reason they could sue for the removal of web browsers or messaging apps, as these can be used of illegal downloads, streaming, and distribution. Apple is the wrong target here…
