  • Apple's satellite plans could be stalled by Elon Musk's Starlink

    Tim Cook should tell Musk and Trump that he’s quite capable of running a large company and that their interference is not required.  Bearing in mind Trump is not good at running businesses and Musk is just a chancer who buys other people’s ideas and companies, I think I’d trust Tim much more.  Tim is also considerably more honest, though that isn’t much of a compliment, on reflection.

    Trump is, after all, just a guy with a big mouth and the sooner more people stand up to him the better. 

    Shame about the GOP and the Dems who seem completely incapable of mounting any sort of response, let alone an attack.  Why is everyone frightened of the guy?  Very odd.



    Except for maybe two or three Democrats most of the Democrats currently behaved like Schumer they think that if they just be nice someone on the other side will see the light of day, and wake up but you notice they don’t, most other than Liz Cheney don’t say anything until they retire and leave office and that’s too late. we currently live in the second Joseph McCarthy era except there isn’t an Edward R Murrow to break us out of the spell.

    what happened to the free market capitalism that he espouses?  

    It went the way of the dodo just like him saying he believes in free speech. Apple should have nothing to do with SpaceX until Tesla reports on the next four quarters and yes they are the same company.

  • Apple's folding iPad or MacBook: What to expect, and when it will ship

    Apple isn’t going to replace the MacBook keyboard with a touchscreen. First, users would hate it. Second, Apple will not re-write macOS to become a touch-based OS (or a bloated, bastardized version of both like Windows on the Surface), and it makes no sense to have a touchscreen keyboard and trackpad, but leave the other half of the screen unresponsive to touch. 

    If Apple makes a folding screen device, it will be an iPad running iPadOS. This would have a simple use-case: a large-screen iPad that folds to fit in your messenger bag. This also wouldn’t require a major reconfiguration of the OS and every app to accommodate it. 

    The touchscreen Microsoft Surface has failed, and notice you don’t hear too much about the Samsung or the Chinese folding phone failures with the crease, but if Apple was to make one, you will hear about it on day one of its release, Jerry rig and a whole host of You-tubers will be breaking it apart on day one.

  • M5 iPad Pro is in testing ahead of a late 2025 release

    The problem with iPad Pros has never been the hardware.  It's the software.  Release MacOS for it and let people decide if they want to run MacOS or iPadOS on it.  Problem is, the iPads don't have a lot of RAM.

    Nothing wrong with the software on a M4 iPad Pro, a user of Pro iPads, I didn’t buy it to run full MacOS that is what the Mac Studio is for, the only thing Apple should continue to do is improve the integration between the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, the file management system is the only major thing that needs improving on the iPad OS, but running full Mac OS that’s a waste of resources it’s like redesigning MacOS to have a touchscreen which would be another colossal waste of resources isn’t it enough that Microsoft has failed in that endeavor with the Surface computers?

    There are other choices in the greater marketplace a Samsung Android tablet might be a solution I keep hearing from the geek crowd that they can do magic.

  • Work starts on Apple M6 chip with modems for future Macs

    one potential issue/question that I haven't seen answered is how much Apple is paying in patent royalties to QC for their C1 modem. Given QC's cellular patent portfolio it's unlikely Apple could produce a competitive modem without licensing at least some patents. Even if they're covered under FRAND there's still a 'reasonable' fee. If Apple were to put the modem in every MBP then they would likely have to pay a fee for each device, unless they could somehow get an agreement to only pay for the modems in use.

    The Patent Troll known as Qualcomm will be suing, no matter what….. preordained.

    Apple will be Qualcomm’s nightmare because Apple isn’t looking to just stand still and collect toll fees. The C1 modem is just a beach head the C2, C3, C4‘s will be even better and more importantly with new Apple devices coming up will have functionalities that Qualcomm, similar the ghosts of tech past like Kodak, Xerox, IBM, Motorola of Schaumburg, Illinois or Intel who also didn’t want to move forward. 

    In short Apple will step up and iterate into the future at a pace most don’t want to do, if it wasn’t for Qualcomm buying out Nuvia they would be lost in the wilderness when it comes to Arm SOC’s, their team up with Microsoft has been a fiasco so far not completely their fault because their partner Microsoft doesn’t feel any sense of urgency.
