I always have to laugh when people rage against advertising. If nobody advertised their goods how would you know what your options were, and as a producer of goods how would you let people know? Remember that branding is pretty much just advertising…

Why would Apple do this? It is not as if they need the money. It reminds me of SJ and JI's mantra about the great design comes from how and when to say no. I understand that it costs a small fortune to provide maps and live directions etc, but isn't…

This is one battle I hope Apple loses, or rather comes to terms with the fact that workers need representation and as such decide to work constructively with the union. Unions may be guilty of many things but the concept of workers at the bottom of …

If I pay for something I expect no ads. In fact that is the way I prefer it. 'Free' is never free and everybody knows it. I hope Apple will be very careful here. Having said that a ton of apps offer a pid version to remove ads. I personally don't mi…

Perhaps a replay of the Motorola / iPhone situation. Apple first created the software and then when the hardware fell short they created that, too. This is obviously orders of magnitude more advanced and complex, but if Apple partners with car manuf…

I am a very happy Safari user on all platforms. I have Chrome and Firefox but it is very rare that I have to turn to either of those. I remember the bad old browser days - today it is unusual to have issues. At least in my world.

"The Apple executive added that the iPhone maker has a relationship with staff "based on an open and collaborative and direct engagement." She said that could be "fundamentally changed" if a store votes to unionize." She would say that wouldn't she…

China is really shooting itself in the foot with their incomprehensible Covid policy. The virus is here to stay, everybody will get it, and the more they try to fight it the worst it will get for everyone. I feel very sorry for those millions of loc…

robin huber said: OMG, workers are organizing! Clutch your pearls, ladies. Yes, shocking to think workers at the lowest level should need representation. Whatever for? Let them eat cake.

I'd like Apple to branch off its financial services into another company. Somehow it doesn't sit well with me that the company that produces my phone and computer also does banking. AppleBank? Ugh! A lot of this is optics, I know, but optics are imp…

In order to peek at those high performance products I need my glasses.... wait, what?

If, or when an Apple car arrives, in whichever form, it will likely shake things up in a big way. I can't predict wether it will fuel growth or end up as a failed and very costly experiment, but my money is on the former. aderutter said: Pers…

A family member has a new Volvo XC40 Recharge (electric) and it is all Google / Android. Not sure if it does CarPlay

'Ungodly well-managed' High praise, indeed. And as far as I can judge - well deserved.

Minimum wage? Why not maximum wage? I have been a huge Apple fan forever and I am also a TC fan, but no matter how great he and Apple are there's a lack of perspective. This is obviously not just about Apple and TC, but about ridiculous wealth and p…
