  • Apple's Core Technology Fee at the center of EU's first DMA violation investigation

    Apple should withdraw from the EU!

    If there are enough Apple Users who Throw a Fit, maybe the EU Cheeseheads will Cave and get out of the way of Commerce. 

    Couple Years using Android and they may change their (i)Tune(s)!

  • Code hints at custom Apple Maps routes coming in iOS 18

    I would just like Maps to allow me to Input a Starting Point (other than where I am now located) and a Destination Point, with the option to Input Several Waypoints In Between. 

    Maybe it already exists and I just haven’t figured it out. But, I don’t want to have to go back and forth trying to figure things out just to get a simple Route, Distance and Time. 

    1) Input Starting Point - Bam!

    2) Input Destination Point - Bam!

    (Maps Instantly Updates Routes, Distances and Times)

    3) If Waypoints are desired, enter them as Step 2) 3) etc. until your Final Step is your Final Destination. 

    Or, Allow for Adding Waypoints after Steps 1) and 2) by clicking on an Add Waypoints Button. 

    Allow for rearranging Start, Destination and Waypoints by Dragging them Up or Down or Clicking on an Invert Route Button. Select One of the Waypoint or Destination (or even the Starting Point) and Delete them and have everything Instantly Update. 

    Maps always seems to be doing what It Wants To Do rather than what I Want It To Do! 

    Another thing I would like to see is the ability to Save that Route (and maybe Name it too)
    for easier Recall. I would also like to see Multiple Routes Displayed on the Map at the Same Time, to be able to Plan Different Segments, even if they have No Points In Common. 

    As an aside, I have a beef with AppleInsider:

    When trying to zoom in on a photo in an AI article, I somehow (accidentally) touch the photo and it darkens, as though I have selected it. I never intended to select it. I just wanted to get a better look at it. The only way to see it again is to touch another photo, which darkens that photo but lets the original photo become visible again, or else refresh the URL. 

    Is this an AI only problem, or an iOS problem?

    Whoever screwed this up needs to Fix it!

  • Special iPadOS 17 version for bigger screens rumor makes no sense

    Maybe this would be a Good Time for the MacPad Pro with a Mega Sized Screen for Artists who use the Wacom 24”+ Tablets and Runs a Seamless Combo of BOTH MacOS and iPadOS!

    Run the FULL Versions of Creative Cloud Apps,
    3D Rendering Apps and CAD Apps!

    They could also sell a Flush-Mounted Lazy Susan (LZ) Turntable/Work Station with Variable Angle and Elevation, using a type of Mac Studio Monitor Swing Arm. No Table Needed. Just the LZ in the Middle with enough Fixed Surround to rest your Elbow and Forearms in any Position. Make the Docking area and Arm Rest out of Aluminum for a Giant Heat Sink. 

    Build a Wireless/MagSafe Connector for Power AND Data that allows unlimited Rotation in either Direction when Docked to the LZ. Use a MacStudio for Connection to Additional Monitors.

    It could even be a True Flat Edge-to-Edge Display. No Camera needed. If necessary, have it on one of the Monitors. 

    MacPad Pro - Just for Artists!

  • New EU rules would force Apple to open up iMessage

    Let the EU Build their Own Phone, Operating System, Messaging System and Communications Network!

    They already do that for Combat Aircraft  .  .  .  oh, yeah, they have the French, British and Italians building different or ordering different (American) Aircraft and Systems. 

    Don’t think Lockheed and Boeing are going to turn over their Software Code to the EU.  And I don’t expect Airbus to giveaway their Proprietary Secrets to the US, in Military or Commercial Products.  

    At least the Israeli’s do their own Research and Modifications to make their aircraft viable for their purposes.
