  • Apple Services and the ecosystem of value capture

    I really do hope the other writers at AI follow your lead by doing some actual journalism, ie researching the topic at hand, providing context, and directly addressing the commonplace bs that is being circulated about that topic. THAT would be progress! Most AI articles seem to be The Verge leftovers, with less insight than a parsnip could muster. Apple - Jobs - hit on a very particular business model back in the late 90's which revolves around being competitive and attractive. By placing their customers first, us, Apple conducts business unlike anyone else even can, let alone try. There's no way for Apple to gain a serious competitor unless there is a merger of current market players. Very unlikely, though, as all of them are beset against each other despite being labelled as 'partners'. I really do see Apple assuming stronger roles in finance, politics, welfare, education, environmental protection, and international relations, far above and beyond what it has already accomplished, for better or worse.

  • Android 9.0 'Pie' ships on Google Pixel with slow release throughout fall

    In other news, Alphagoo has devised a way out of its theft-related Android predicament by trplacing Oracle’s stolen code with ‘machine learning’. By using this generic approach, AG not only doen’t need to pay for code, but it kills two birds, also replacing the lame, idiotic and amazingly expensive Chrome BS. Despite mimicing Apple’s ‘all processed on device therefore safe’ line, eight militant Android fans have taken to blogs begging Google to “Stay true!” More details at 11!

  • Apple widens lead with iPad in contracting worldwide tablet market

    Pretty crappy reason considering the dozens of reasons to not buy a crappy knock-off, not least of which may be usability, value, security, updates, games and integrity.
