  • UK carrier EE bundling Apple services with iPhone & Apple TV hardware

    EE? Oh that's the one that pays huge amounts of £££ to Kevin Bacon to front their advertising. They aren't the best value IMHO. There are better deals out there. Their Data limits are AFAIK quite small yet they include stuff that will burn them up very quickly.

  • Facebook threatens to block news stories in Australia if draft regulation passes

    Zuck doesn’t know how to negotiate. You should never tell your opponent how you will react if he does “X”. You should say nothing and then when it happens you should react or overreact in a way he didn’t expect. I can think of at least three surprising ways Zuck could respond here once the new proposed rule is enforced. One is to replace all user links to Australian news sites to links to non-Australian news sites that carry a similar story. This will make all future regulators think long and hard about regulating the internet. P.S. If it sounds like I’m a Facebook supporter, I’m not. I can’t be a supporter of Facebook because I believe in morality.
    He's obviously been reading his copy of 'The Art of the Deal' signed by his pal Donald J Trump. (sic)

    Cry me a river!
    Zuck is already rich enough (on paper) to buy many countries in the world yet still he wants more!
    Every day that passes and the harm that FB and the rest do to humanity goes unpunished. Their interface designs are by their own admission highly addictive which in my eyes, makes them no different from any other drug pusher out there.
    Come in Facebook, your time is up. I hope that soon, you will start to pay for the damage that you have done to a whole generation.

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 may be cheaper than original at launch

    Samsung doesn't know what it's doing. They only rushed this turd to market to beat Apple like all their other turds: Galaxy Gear, Galaxy Edge and now this. If Apple ever releases their foldable product then it will all suddenly make sense and we won't have to wait for it to "mature".
    Apple might not be (hardly ever) first off the blocks with some bits of technology but they have a track record of making it work well and pretty well seamlessley alongside other tech.
    Think of it as a point tech solution (samsung) and a total solution (Apple). Gimmicks are great for tech writers. They get far more copy out of them than a well designed but slightly boring product. Users have to live with them for the long term which the tech writers mostly don't. Soon those gimmicks become irritating or simply don't get used.

  • Mark Zuckerberg claims Apple's App Store charges 'monopoly rents,' stifles innovation

    Zuck and therefore by Implication Facebook itself are nothing more than drug pushers. Social Media is highly addictive and the designers of FB etc go out of their way to make it like that. The longer the user stays online, the better for them. More data slurped and more ads slung at the poor user.

    He's looking at losing a lot of his users with IOS14. Less users means less ads slung and less data slurped. That will hit is bottom line.
    As if the drug baron has seen many of his pushers suddenly disappear.  Good riddance I say.

    Just say no to Zuck and Facebook.
