  • Apple sued for $5M for not recovering data after iPhone theft

    This should be a lesson to anyone who uses their phone for everything. DON'T DO IT.
    Some light-fingered larry could nick it and take you and your life away. Money? Gone. Business? Gone. 

    I don't do email or banking on my phone. That degree of separation is to my mind essential.

  • Why Apple won't buy TikTok, even to attract younger users

    rotateleftbyterotateleftbyte
    It makes sense to me.  Buying T-T will attract a whole new raft of scrutiny from Uncle Sam. Given the changes in Twitter and Facebook as they move to be more Trumpian Friendly, T-T's new owners will be expected to follow suit OR face 'the Spanish Inquisition' from Congress. The Oversight Committee could tie Apple up in lawsuits for years if they owned T-T and didn't start licking No 47's high heels.
    As if they didn't have a big enough target on their backs as it is...

    The same arguments would apply if Apple started its own search engine.  I am sure that we will soon start seeing Google change its promotion algorithms to put his latest grift subject at the top of all result sets.

    IMHO, it is far better for Apple to stay well clear of that part of the DC swamp. There be leopards ready to eat Tim Cook's face.
