blastdoor said: If Apple does enter this market, I hope it's with a new business model that completely disrupts the market. The popularity of leases and now Uber suggest to me that many people don't want to own a car. And the aspects…

lam92103 said: Excellent news! Any other industry and the execs would have already been in jail. Imagine a car company telling you that you have to buy all accessories from their store, and ones bought from anywhere else will just not work. A…

Lots of cheap office space in NYC now since companies have discovered that employees can effectively work from home and new office space was overbuilt even before the pandemic. If Apple can't negotiate cheap space there, no reason why they can't f…

foregoneconclusion said: Xed said: Make Apple is actively being a dick, but from what I gather with trademark law is that you need to both use it and defend it. It doesn't mean you need to win a lawsuit and you can settle out of court on …

This sounds pretty legit to me. Maybe Apple should have just fixed the damned things. It's not like these are inexpensive machines. You pay $3000 for a computer, you expect it to work without problems. And Apple machines used to. If it's a…

sflocal said: Facebook should be judging the entire retail industry then. Last time I checked, Safeway and Costco also get a cut of sales of what vendors sell in their stores. Scumbags. There's more to it than that. What all these devel…

95% of consumers won't care that the built-in 'smart' functions are Android based because they don't see it or perceive it. Apple's UI and graphics is definitely far superior, but when it comes down to it for most consumers, they open the screen, …

lkrupp said: Okay, so Twitter has admitted that this kid and his cronies used social engineering to acquire top level credentials. It would appear, then, that this cadre is not composed of genius hackers able to take down whatever they want a…

entropys said: I think it means more for DVD sales than cinemas. Cinemas became dead to me once they started charging as much for a visit as putting my first borne through private school. Please. The average price of a movie ticket in the…

AMC is insane. They just signed the death warrant for theaters. Exclusive theatrical windows shouldn't be shortened, they should be lengthened, especially because of COVID. When theaters reopen, they'll probably only be permitted to fill 30-40% …

linkman said: Assuming that the $1000 were only the receipts for that day of sales (albeit a long day) and he was selling them at $1 per bottle: he probably obtained them for about $.25 per bottle and his only overhead is probably a cooler an…

buckkalu said: Nonsense. Apple is already hooked up to the grid even though they claim that the new campus is 100% green energy. How about all the mining of minerals and rare earth metals taking place in China and the Congo where child and…

If Apple REALLY wants to be carbon neutral and be an environmental leader, it would design Macs like they once did: with replaceable storage, memory and battery. An awful lot of Macs get tossed and do NOT wind up in proper recycling once they bec…

The problem with all this, aside from what posters have already mentioned is that until it's absolutely guaranteed universal, you still have to carry a passport, driver's license, credit/debit cards, etc. For Apple to be able to replace a driver'…

These idiots in Congress need to examine wholesale prices before they open their mouths. Back in the physical software days, software publishers had to give distributors like Ingram Micro-D a 48 to 52% discount. And Apple's 30% fee includes cred…
