  • Continued iOS 14 security updates were meant to be temporary, Apple says

    ...I wish Apple would slow everything down especially macOS which seemed to be released on merit (every 2~3 years through 2011) vs a calendar basis which may serve annual shareholder interests...

    This lack of continuity has created at this customer end a ton of overhead juggling app compatibility and for example the orphaning of 32 bit apps also came with a flurry of upgrade costs for various apps, many switching from the persistent licensing 'gold rush' to the unsustainable subscription model. Is this the opposite of Windows with long support cycles and recognition of such burdens on business? I understand 32 bit apps are still supported in Windows...?

    I just asked a developer today if Windows is now easier than the mac and in suit a better 'customer experience'...?
    Using Windows is literally psychological torture. 

    Go ahead and try switching back to bugville and error messages. Oh, and ransomeware. 

    One reason I retired from corporate America was I couldn’t take the junk hardware and software environments in which I was forced to conduct business - even at the executive level.

  • Google's next project is making its ecosystem more like Apple's

    Good luck getting it to work. 
    And wait about five seconds for each feature to be exploited by black hats emptying bank accounts.

  • Apple puts Foxconn India 'on probation' after protests

    Contrast Apple’s actions with those of Dell or Microsoft or essentially ANY other manufacturer of any good in any industry. 
    No other company enforces high standards like Apple. 
    Apple should be recognized as a leader in this area and not vilified every time we learn about an issue it is addressing.

  • Apple execs explain the design philosophy behind Apple Watch bands

    I am just working on finding out design philosophy of my shoe laces. I know they are special as I discarded original once and they have special construction and shape to help with loosening tie when walking and doing footwork (seriously you can buy them on Amazon). But I still wonder philosophy that one can make for them...
    You scoff but I doubt you have the engineering chops to design these watch bands that function so well and are artfully styled as well. Making stuff that works isn’t easy.
