  • Apple green lights Epic Games Store in rapid reversal

    Though I'm not a Fortnite fan, this is definitely a win for consumers, it was always crazy to me that Apple can literally victimize their customer base 
    If Apple is forced (by people like you) to not produce and sell products that people like me want, then our freedom is lost. You are against Apple's freedom, and mine, to build and buy what we want. You get exactly what you want (Android) but you don't want us to get what we want. No freedom there. If Apple is forced to copy Android much more, I will abandon Apple.

    No one's freedom is comprised by adding the capability to download from alternate stores.  Talk about hyperbole.

    My only concern, and "concern" is probably an overly strong word to convey my feelings here, is that an alternate store will be less likely to do even the not wholly adequate vetting that Apple does, making it more likely that a malicious app makes it onto the phone.  Once that app is on an iPhone, it could conceivably make it easier to compromise other iPhones if, for instance, the app can "phone home" about vulnerabilities.  While I find that to be a plausible scenario, I'm not sure it's very likely.  At least I'd like it to be not likely.

    Even though Apple's app vetting process is pretty good, it's not perfect, and I would not expect others stories to be as good for some period of time while they learn all the things Apple has learned over the years.

    If it doesn’t work with the Mac version, it’s worthless. 
    You can 100% use FCP for iPad to create a multicam, and then move it across to the Mac version and edit it there. Pretty seamless.
    So once again, worthless. Thanks for confirming. No one needs to subscribe to a tablet version when they use the Mac version. 

    An actual solution would be Mac compatibility. Can’t be that difficult. 

    You're absolutely correct!  It's useless for you, so it's useless for everyone!  Even me, who's already used it several times.  Gosh, what was I thinking using this useless piece of crap?  I will immediately go out and buy a Mac and spend $300 on FCP so that I can do nothing with it but edit the videos that I've been doing on my iPad.  I totally see how wrong I was to go down this path.  /s

    Great.  Yay.  Now if they would just spend a little time designing supplemental ear tips that will actually stay in my ears, I'd be happy.

  • EU hits back at Apple withholding Apple Intelligence from the region

    Intentionally omitting features as retaliation?  Yeah, Apple is gonna LOVE the multi-billion fine for this little stunt.

    The EU is done playing.  Apple will behave, or they will PAY.
    Hahahaha. Pay what? They will now fine them for NOT releasing a product or service into their geography because they do not want to run afoul of rules they disagree with and could impact user privacy?

    Think about how faulty your logic is.

    The faster the EU toss Vestager and the commission they better they will be.



    I almost wish the EU would penalize Apple for not providing services there that they do elsewhere.  It might be that proverbial last straw that would cause Apple to pull out entirely.

    No, I don't really believe they would do that.  It would be nice if they did, though.

    Gosh, what a surprise. /s

    I believe "hoist on one's own petard" is the relevant cliche...
