Apple cleaning hundreds of thousands of titles from App Store in Review Guidelines crackdo...
I believe that Apple originally allows crap in at times to boost numbers for marketing purposes...so many titles should not have ever made it into App Store in the first place. But I am glad they are cleaning this up a bit. Should do 2 rounds of cleanup and then make it a practice to do this every quarter.

Tim Cook talks HomePod's philosophy, ARKit's potential market impact
AR isn't new. Nintendo did that stuff with the DS. What is profound to me is Apple is giving the capability to many developers and will be able to incorporate it into most of their products...I think the time is right for AR to be applied.

New 5K iMac GPU configurations at least double best performance of MacBook Pro
Very well stated. Couldn't agree more.macxpress said:
Couple things...xzu said:The fastest Mac video card is 5.5 Tflop.The $500 - Nvidia 1080 is 9 Tflop in a 5 year old Hackintosh? Is there any reason anyone questions the need for a modular Mac or why the AIO does not work for a lot of people? I would caution anyone paying that much for so little.
1. This is a consumer Mac, even the 27" model. So the majority don't really care how many giga or teraflops it does nor do most even know what that means.
2. As stated more than a few times, a large majority of customers Mac or PC these days are not interested in building their own computer or even swapping out parts. The Macs of today will last a very long time (5+yrs). There are Macs out there today that were purchased in 2009 that still work perfectly fine today. A lot of those 2009 Macs are still supported by Apple even so they can still get the latest and greatest version of macOS.
3. It seems silly to me to spend $500 on an old PC (Hackintosh) to get longer use out of it when you can take that $500 and put it toward a newer Mac. Its not all about the graphics. The flash storage alone will make a new Mac so much faster.

Apple, other tech companies pledge to continue efforts to meet Paris climate accord
What I see is a lot of people not knowing enough information to make good comments here.

Nest unveils iPhone-connected Cam IQ with facial recognition, zoom & better audio [u]
I hope that companies can find a happy medium. As with my business everyone wants X$ per month. Then take that per user per month. It gets insane...most people and many companies can't afford this model for everything. There has to be some bundling or other way to reduce the per user per month cost...the problem is it doesn't scale very well from an affordability sense. I don't pretend to have the answer but waiting for a solution that makes sense.robin huber said:I am getting sick of subscriptions. Seems like every device or service comes with some kind of subscription attached. They are like a swarm of tiny vampires sucking on your income every month. Wish it would become standard to offer a pay-once option.
