He doesn't lead the designs. His teams do.indiekiduk said:I wouldn't be surprised if he has been let go because of the MacBook Pro keyboard debacle and possibly was also unhappy to have to design a tower.

dblanch369 said:Sell your stocks folks....If you think Jony is the genius they purport him out to be then you must not know his past before we at NeXT arrived and saved Apple. The guy has a warehouse of bad ideas that went nowhere. Only after he met NeXT creative teams and Steve dictated several ideas did the ``boy genius'' surface.

Apple strikes back at Spotify's claims of unfair treatment in the App Store

And the only reason Apple’s isn’t is because they can subsidize it by the profit they make on other things, like hardware. We’re getting to a point where only a few big companies will own everything.larz2112 said:
Exactly. I've been saying this for years. Spotify was founded on an unsustainable business model. You'd think the folks running that company would have figured it out by now.Rayz2016 said:
The thing is, Apple Music isn’t their problem.macxpress said:Basically, Spotify is shitting their pants over Apple Music and are doing everything they can to try and survive since they don't make much of a profit. Apple Music has got to be slowly eating into their revenue stream. I think once investors start pulling out, it's game over for Spotify.
Every user added costs them money, and they’re not making a profit on every user.
Their problem is their business model.And once Ford, GE and ATT, Sears Roebuck, etc., were king of the hill. Ford and GE are fighting to survive, Sears is dead and ATT isn't Ma Bell/Bell Labs, etc. Microsoft was the de facto and IBM before that.Innovate or die.

AMD's Radeon Pro Vega II and Duo offer Mac Pro up to 28Tflops of GPU performance
Vega was 14nm and Vega II is an improved GCN version over Vega on 14nm.tipoo said:I believe this is the same die as the VII, but without one CU disabled, and far more memory/the extra PCI-E/infinity fabric. For anyone wondering if "Vega II" was any different than Vega on 7nm, or a new successor architecture.

Mac Pro's lessons learned will trickle down to all 'Pro' products, says project lead
cynegils said:Lets hope that one of those lessons is not "Pricing will start at cost X eleventybillion!"When Intel charges $15k for the 28 core Xeon what do you expect? Just one more reason Apple will sooner-rather-than-later ditch Intel for AMD.And no, they aren't going ARM people. Just like they aren't building a competing GPGPU--the Afterburner is that secret GPU project from Florida.
