  • No native Spotify app for Apple TV 'any time soon,' company says

    dachar said:
    I wonder if there is really such a big deal? How many people listen to music without images on their TV anyway? 
    there are images on the tv -- album covers, album info, lyrics, artist browsing, etc. 

    many, many people have their apple tv plugged into a receiver in the living room with good speakers (or at least a tv with sound bar), and oblvisouly enjoy listening to music in this space.

    like amazon, it looks like spotify doesn't like its own customers, chosing to play platform politics rather than delighting their actual paying users.

  • More reports circulate suggesting a late-October MacBook Pro, MacBook Air refresh

    I hope I am wrong. But next year seems to be a Big Jump of tech for every apple product. APFS will likely officially ship in next year macOS update. Which means next year not only we will get 10nm Cannonlake for Notebook, but also likely full lineup using SSD ( Finally! ) It baffles me why Computer shipping in late 2016 would still have HDD as bootdrive.

    A new iPhone design, new Apple Watch design, likely new iPad Pro in early 2017.

    I wanted to buy a new Mac, but the "value" proposition for Mac is getting lower everyday, especially in the notebook segment. ( The Retina iMac offers surprising good value if you are into 4K / 5K screen )
    who said apple's putting out a new watch next year? was two years to get Series 2...may be another two.

    2 years on the job

    $100+ million in compensation

    pretty much nothing to show
    You cannot be serious? You've jumped off the deep end sog. She's one of the most inspiring leaders I've ever known of. Apple's new stores are the most beautiful stores I've ever seen. Her vision and clarity and taste and sensibleness are nothing short of amazing. She is a great individual.
    And they were crap before she was there? $100 million for some pretty obvious tweaks and frankly not much retail innovation (my g-friend is a global retail expert and has plenty of insight... says she hasn't contributed anything that a senior retail consultant couldn't manage... for about $400k a year).

    "She's one of the most inspiring leaders I've ever known of"... your bar is seriously low... you'd give McDs a Michelin star
    well shit, if your girlfriend said so...guys -- close down this forum, "luvappl" 's girlfriend has it all figured out, we can go home!

    absurd. but that being said i think the corporate executive class is given a disgusting amount of compensation compared to the majority of the workforce, and i hope this changes one day. wealth does not need to be concentrated at the top. (but yeah, try telling that to the corporate boards who set these wages and are, not coincidentally, at the top).

    An artist sketching and a guy playing a guitar? Sure, why not bring in a homeless guy to sleep and pee on the floor and make it just like San Francisco.  Get rid of Ahrendts before she Marissa Meyers Apple Retail.  The only thing Apple Retail needs to do is double the size of every store, maybe add a cafe and call it a day. Stop worrying about the retail stores and update the Mac Mini, Mac Pro and the Cinema displays which haven't been refreshed in 1860 days as of today.
    what the fuck do the mac hardware engineering teams have to do with retail? nothing, thats what. absolutely nothing. go hate somewhere else
