  • Apple Twitter account hacked in Bitcoin scam campaign

    And Twitter admins should have separate AD accounts with elevated privileges. Not their everyday employee account with email.

  • Congress urges Apple and Google to police foreign apps, app makers

    Will the US be allowed to collect data from foreigners?
    They already have been for years with the Patriot  Act. The US government can access foreign data on US based servers without a warrant and without notifying the owner. That’s why our province (BC) couldn’t use Azure until Microsoft set up a data centre in Canada.

  • Apple adds new battery tools in macOS Big Sur, kills Network Utility

    That's really crappy for Apple to depreciate the Network Utility Tool.  I've used it on a weekly basis.

    Developers here should notify Apple to reinstate the features of the tool.
    If you are a developer this might be a good time to start imagining and designing an alternative to be sold on the App store :wink: 
    And get sherlocked when they bring it back?  No thanks.  :D

  • 'iPhone 12' predicted to ship without EarPods, will boost AirPods sales

    My kids also go through EarPods like water. 

    This is starting to remind me of high end bicycles.  Follow me here...
    People are often gobsmacked when they find out a multi-thousand dollar bicycle doesn't come with pedals.  They see pedals as a critical component. If you can't ride a bike without pedals, how can you sell a bike without them???
    The reality is, those who pay that much $$$ for bikes are very particular about the pedal clip technology they need.  So why include a cheap flat pedal when it will be thrown away.  

    The analogy kind of falls apart when you consider that no one paying $3k+ for a bike will ever use it with cheap in-the-box pedals.  But lots of people who pay $1k for an iPhone will use it with in-the-box EarPods.

  • Compared: Microsoft's Surface Book 3 versus Apple's iPad Pro

    When Steve first introduced the iPhone, he compared the pricing with the cost of a phone and and iPod. You can buy a laptop and a tablet for the price of the Surface Book 3, but you’d be carrying 2 devices around. You pay a premium for the hybridization. I can see a use case where people want both laptop and tablet, yet need Windows OS. The Surface Book 3 fits the bill.
