  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    lotoneslotones
    I loved Steve, and I'm an unapologetic Tim Cook fan. People who criticize TC are ignoring how absolutely worse things could have gone AS (After Steve). Just look around at all the embarrassing CEO bros and their companies that have either already crashed and burned, or those who are so damn jealous that they are willing to burn billions copying and/or suing Apple like spoiled children. They all want to be in the position Apple is in, and Tim Cook is how Apple got there.

    Picking Tim was the single best decision Steve ever made. That's what "genius" looks like.

  • Passthrough audio is finally on the way to Apple TV, iPhone, and more

    lotoneslotones
    If I can stream hi-res audio from Apple Music or from my Mac I'll be very happy. At the moment I have to stream hi-res audio from my Mac through my disc player's inferior interface. Sounds great, but it's clunky. But it was made in 2016, so it's about time Apple TV caught up.

    And it would be nice to consolidate all my hi-res music into the Music app and stream it from there.

    It's been a few weeks since I begged for hi-res audio support via Apple TV, both through Apple Music and streamed from my Mac, so here goes:

    please Apple? Pleeeeaase?

  • Big redesign and more: What to expect in macOS 26 at WWDC 2025

     If these are the updates for MacOS26 then Apple is in worse shape than I thought.  These are all so minor/lame that almost no one will know or care.  Apple needs to get its act together with implementing and integrating AI within MacOS and that thing they call Siri. For the first time since the late 1990’s I am really concerned Apple has lost its way.  
    Oh good god, another "Apple is doomed" post...
    yeah, it's a knee-jerk cliché at this point. Apple could announce a cure for cancer and give it away for free, and people would complain about the "lack of innovation."

    There's never been an article anywhere that absolutely nailed everything coming at an WWDC. So I guess now it's fashionable to be "disappointed" weeks before the event.

    Apple is doing what it needs to to be a player China’s market. 

    The US government should not take allies for granted and work with allies on AI. Part of China’s government’s AI success would be alienating America from its allies for AI research and development. 
    But should Apple be developing tools to help the Communist Party of China harm its own citizens? "Following Chinese law" is not good enough.
    Is it really that big a deal if Apple helps China sort its email, answer texts, and make a few Genmoji?
