  • Contradictory iPhone 11 Pro drop tests reveal easily breakable/highly durable glass

    Is there such a thing as an adjustable case that can fit different size phones? That would make me feel better spending the money on one.

  • Apple Arcade is here, play over 100 exclusive titles for $4.99 a month

    The first game I tried said it was compatible with iOS, iPadOS and tvOS. So I presume the omission of macOS means that most of the games on Apple Arcade will not be compatible with Macs. And a few days ago people were telling me on this website "Don't worry! It will all be compatible with macOS using the keyboard as your controller!" EDIT; The first TWO games are incompatible with macOS. So my worst fears are now realized.

  • Disney CEO Bob Iger resigns from Apple board as streaming wars heat up

    But Disney also owns the company that makes Hero Pro cameras, and it's a small step for them to take that capacity and start producing hardware like a video streamer. .
    What?! Since when? Please provide reference because the last time I checked, GoPro was still another public company... unless I missed something.
    https://www.titlemax.com/discovery-center/money-finance/companies-disney-owns-worldwide/ Steamboat Ventures: An offshoot of The Walt Disney Company, Steamboat founder and Managing Partner John Ball serves on GoPro's board. He and his team have a history of backing companies that go on to be acquired. Ever heard of Steamboat Willie? Yes, GoPro is publicly traded, but Disney owns so much of the stock Disney reps sit on the GoPro board of directors.

  • Disney CEO Bob Iger resigns from Apple board as streaming wars heat up

    As I've been saying for years, Disney is the biggest threat to Apple over the next ten years. Nothing wrong with that. Competition is good. But you can't have major competitors sharing members on their respective boards of directors because that's a conflict of interest.

    Disney is competing with Apple (very soon) on selling streaming video, and Disney is likely to crush Apple (into Apple Sauce) in this area. But Disney also owns the company that makes Hero Pro cameras, and it's a small step for them to take that capacity and start producing hardware like a video streamer. Because of Disney's content, they could probably crush both the Apple TV hardware and Apple TV+ services. And maybe other things like Apple Arcade, or Apple News, in a few years.

  • Google confirms antitrust investigation by DOJ

    My main concern is whether they are wittingly or unwittingly aiding one political party using their resources but not declaring them as political support if the law requires that all political support, financial or otherwise, be documented.
