I keep reading all these silly news stories about Apple’s “exorbitant” cut. Obviously these writers have no idea how the printed magazine and newspaper business has worked since forever. The price you pay at the newsstand or for a subscription merely covers printing and postage costs. All the actual profits are generated through advertising. Apple is eliminating their distribution costs. A 50% cut of the subscription cost is exceedingly generous to the publishers, who will make most of their profit via advertising that is not susceptible to browser-based ad blockers.

It’s so annoying that Siri will provide multiple pronunciation choices that sound exactly the same! Also, after I teach Siri to say my last name correctly, why does she still not pronounce my wife’s or brother’s last name correctly? Also, she’ll pronounce my last name correctly in some circumstances but not others. These are deficiencies that should not exist after this many years of development.
