  • Trailer for Apple TV+ & Ridley Scott film 'Napoleon' shows the horror of war

    Abel Gance directed the definitive film on Napoléon in 1927, without CGI but with multiple cameras and split screen views. Watch it, preferably with a live orchestra playing the score written for the 1980 re-release by Carmine Coppola, and decide for yourself which is the better film.

    Should we ask Sir Jonny or King Chuck whether they think geocentrism is a reasonable representation for the universe, five hundred years after Copernicus.

    I was really looking forward to this one, but the strike is more important, without a doubt. Oh well. We can always hope they pick it up again in a few years.
    I guess I must be a stick in the mud or just an old curmudgeon, but I feel that the original is such an awesome, original work of art that any reimagination would have a very steep path to being nearly as good, much less better.

    Maybe Mr. Esmail can develop another original idea, like Mr. Robot, that will be as memorable as that series.

  • Apple accused of retribution in firing five union activists

    Yeah, those Apple retail workers who start at $22/hour and already have a ton of benefits sure do need a union. They’re being treated so badly! Shame on your Apple for paying retail workers well above minimum wage and providing all those other benefits that most other retail jobs don’t. I go to the Apple store frequently and from what I can see, most of them get paid just to stand around and chat with each other.
    I'm going to assume this post is from a bot that never tried to live on a minimum wage. Minimum wage is not a living wage, or even anywhere close to it. The lack of empathy for people who actually have to work for a living (even if, when the Store's not busy, they dare to speak to one another) bespeaks a robotic lack of concern for actual human beings.

    AppleInsider should screen the comments for bot products.

    If it can't be unplugged without losing a ton of performance and having shit battery life then what use is it as a laptop? It's basically just a slightly portable desktop but you're still tied to a wall outlet or else your performance advantage goes to the crapper. This is why these comparisons are useless. Apple could easily do the same thing and push tons of wattage through their SoC's but that's not the point of what Apple is doing with Apple Silicon. Apple Silicon is very impressive for what it does performance wise and still retains amazing battery life.

    Believe it or not, that is the way some professionals and nearly all PC gamers use laptops: plugged in.
