    It’s intentional. YouTube offers a music subscription like Apple Music and Spotify. It would be a free loophole to YouTube your favorite band then hide the video to scroll through Facebook etc. 

    That’s too bad, I alway believed Picture-In-Picture was a Comcast “Stream” feature.  Comcast must have been quick to adopt it.  I’ve had Picture In Picture since the second beta of iOS 14.  

    Comcast also wisely included music channels. 

    AT&T TV Now and HBO NOW doesn’t seem to support Picture In Picture in their apps either.  I’m rarely using AT&T anymore maybe it’s time to finally cancel that service.

  • Craig Federighi argues against renewed push for law enforcement backdoor to iPhone

    Overall, this is a good sign that Apple's security is becoming much harder to crack. I'm glad I asked Steve Jobs for high-grade security that exceeds military-grade before he died.

    Looks like we've gone a long way from the days when Steve Jobs worked for $1.00 per year salary.

    Make Woz VP of Engineering.
    You must be kidding... Woz is so far behind the curve on technology that he couldn’t design a thing today... and he knows it too.
    Well, I think Fusion-IO still a fantastic system. Wozniak had a role as Chief Scientist at the company that developed the concept and hardware before SanDisk bought the company. Now, the technology is seen in high-performance server systems sold by HP, IBM, and Appp... Oh wait, Apple doesn't have an enterprise server anymore...

  • Slower-than-expected iPhone 7 sales prompt Apple to cut production by 10%, report claims

    One of the things Apple has always excelled at has been the creation of demand; sometimes false demand by constricting its own supply chain.  

    When a product becomes out-of-stock, it creates a situation where the product is "perceived" as more valuable by the consumer.  

    When people in the press can't purchase it either, then the press will write about it in a more favorable light once the product is obtained as well.  This is something carefully balanced by Apple and a part of its branding, marketing, and supply chain strategy.  

    Look at it this way-
    People know when they go to a McDonald's they can get a McDonald's signature BigMac Burger but only Apple would deny its customers the ability to tender a sale.   No one in the press writes about how tasty their last BigMac burger was because they are ready for purchase.

    It takes a stroke of genius to deny Dieter Bohn his ability to be the first in the office to buy an Apple.
