Apple's ad agency recommends a stop to Twitter campaigns
No, he's not an idiot. He has a very high IQ, for sure. His problem is his EQ (emotional quotient). It seems to be in the low single digits, thanks to his narcissism and sociopathy. He does well when working with things, and horribly when working with people. Twitter is all about people, so he's floundering.TheObannonFile said:
Absolutely. He’s not an idiot, by a long shot. This will go how these things always go. There’s a lot of buzz right now, and everybody is paying attention. Companies are trying to virtue signal like crazy right now.bluefire1 said:In the short term Musk will use the expertise of his extensive team to iron out the kinks, flush out the excess, learn from initial mistakes and make Twitter better then ever.
My money’s on him long term.
Twitter will be up and running functionally in no time. People will forget. And all the advertisers will return.
All the keyboard CEO’s who know better than Elon will move on to something else.
And all the morons who are going to “boycott” any business or brand advertising on Twitter will be patronizing all of them without a thought.

You could walk a mile in Steve Jobs' shoes, if you win this auction
I think I’ll just stick with the Birkenstocks I already have. They fit me and have conformed my feet. Steve’s would not be very comfortable. -
Apple removed over 540,000 abandoned apps from the App Store in Q3
They’re still usable while you have them, but when you replace your phone or need to restore it, they won’t be available for download. And it’s been years since we could store them in iTunes.AppleInsider said:Apps removed from the App Store won't affect apps already downloaded to user devices, with features such as in-app purchases set to continue working. The requirement to update only applies to the App Store listing itself.

Apple works on waking Siri without the 'Hey'
I had never thought to ask Siri to read my notifications. So I said “Read my notifications” and it did so. iPadOS 16.1. I have no idea why it wouldn’t work for you.OnPartyBusiness said:I use Siri all the time all day. Doing without saying hey, is a lot less important to me than having Apple bring back Siri’s ability to search photos for objects, dates and locations and other functions that I used all day I used to have her read my notifications to me , while I get dressed, etc. That was the function I used every day and now in IPadOS it is gone. I don’t understand why Apple keeps taking away, important functions and leaving us with silly things like taking away the “hey” in hey Siri. Useless. Am I missing something that was announced? Is there a way to get her to continue reading notifications like she did in iPadOS 15? I’m not one of these people who thinks Siri needs to be as good as Google assistant or Alexa. But for goodness sake, stop taking away the functions that it was doing, and that guy, as an elderly person depend on every day. -
Apple kills long-time event archive on YouTube
That's not how it works. For instance, I can take pictures or videos out in public, on the streets. They are still subject to my copyright, because I took them. If someone else photographs the same scene, they get the copyright for their pictures. If someone had videoed the Apple presentations themselves, the images would be copyrighted by that individual. There would still be the issue of having recorded a copyrighted speech, but we can leave that for another time.sdw2001 said:
I am, in fact, claiming it is likely not copyright infringement. These are events that were videoed and broadcast at the time. They were public events. All this guy did was have them archived on YouTube. He could argue it is for journalistic purposes. Now if he was getting ad revenue, that changes things. He’s not reproducing it, just maintaining an archive. YouTube may agree it’s infringement, but that has nothing to do with infringement under the law.mfryd said:
Can you elaborate on why you believe it is not copyright infringement?sdw2001 said:
I find it hard to believe it’s copyright infringement. And the claim wasn’t legal…it was with ScrewTube. There is no legitimate basis for taking down. You’re talking about 20 rolled video that have no commercial value or negligible value to anyone.j238 said:Copyright infringement has gotten so rampant, when a proper claim is enforced, people react as if that's controversial.
Are you suggesting that the videos are not copyrighted, or that Apple is not the copyright owner?
Remember, copyright law gives the copyright owner the ability to place restrictions on the copying or reproducing of the protected work. The copyright owner does not need a good reason to prohibit posting, nor does the decision need to be in the copyright owner’s best interest.
Also keep in mind that infringement does not need to be for profit.
Suppose you were a photographer and created a mediocre photo (one with no commercial value). You wanted the photo hung in your office, and you didn’t want any other copies out there. It would be copyright infringement for someone else to post the image to a public website for all to enjoy. Even though they are not depriving you of sales, nor are they making money on your work. The law says that when it comes to posting, the copyright owner gets to decide, and their decision doesn’t have to be the most reasonable position possible. There are a few “fair use” exceptions, but keep in mind that the common language definition of “fair use” may not match the legal meaning.
So please explain why you think someone publicly posting Apple’s copyrighted video to a website (including YouTube) does not constitute a clear violation of copyright?
