  • Netflix will not offer programming on Apple TV service

    I would like it if Netflix content showed up in the TV app. I find it very convenient to just click the TV button on the Siri Remote and see most of what I’ve been watching lately. It isn’t uncommon for me to see a show there that I had forgotten I had been watching and then continue. It’s harder with the Netflix app.

    Not to mention it annoys me that I have to select “Who’s watching?” every single time I open the app when there’s only one choice, me.
    I would agree with you if Apple improved their GUI. As with many of Apple's services lately, I find them a mess.

  • Tim Cook being 'intrusive' to Hollywood in quest for family-friendly video fare

    I have a family friend that is a producer and funny enough, I asked him the other day about Apple's new content soon to be revealed. He said almost exactly the same thing. Apple is too involved in the creative process and forcing everything family friendly. 

    I would say this is the problem Apple is having in general post Steve Jobs - playing it safe - afraid to take chances. Instead of being innovators, they are not reacting to things.

  • How parents can turn on iOS 12 Screen Time for their child's iPhone or iPad

    technotechno
    Screen Time sounds great. So much promise. Yet, sadly, it is rendered useless in a matter of minutes with most kids that know how to watch YouTube. SPOILER ALERT!  All they have to do is go into Settings and change the time to a non "Down Time."

  • Apple's video service expected to launch at $15 per month, still needs healthy iPhone sale...

    My question is: Will Apple announce this new service that is exciting and full of potential only to give it half-ass attention and let it linger in mediocrity for years until the "team" gets around to it again, as it tends to do with other things?

    "The figure assumes a $15 monthly fee and a 30 percent cut, putting video revenue at $13.5 billion"

    HUH? apple is creating its own content, no 30% cut in that. Also they are doing contracts for licensing tv shows/movies that they do not create. You pay a dollar amount to these companies for this content and then add it your streaming service for a set amount of time. There is not a any kind of "cut" going on. Baffling how moronic these analysts can be.

    I was trying to figure out what was wrong, cause it smelled like shit and you nailed it for me.
