  • Microsoft uses weak arguments to say Surface Pro 7 is better than iPad Pro

    He forgot to mention

    The surface is completely useless

  • Apple's free app trials a band-aid, will be tough on developers

    Exactly. Game developers should be at work making new exciting games that are fun to play. But the app store seems to reward shit titles that are designed to rip you off, or have you wait endlessly for fictional upgrade-times.
    It's quite sad, I think  :(
    I have never spent a single dollar on in-app purchase and I never will. I will happily buy a game or app that is honest enough to charge $1, $2, $10 or whatever for their product. This is the only way to change things - stop making in-app purchases.

  • Wish list: Nine features we want to see in an iMac refresh at WWDC 2018

    I would like to see the case either go back to the thicker aluminum body used in 2009-2012 models or maybe something in the between. To me, it doesn`t matter if the edge of a desktop computer screen is 2,5 cm or 0,5 cm thick. I can understand the importance of making iPhones, iPads and macbooks thinner, since you will be carrying these around. This is not the case of the iMac. What does matter is repairability, upgradeability and airflow.
    I would also like to see better GPU options.

  • FCC Chairman Ajit Pai reveals Net Neutrality repeal plan, vote on Dec. 14

    Good. We don't need the government involved in managing the Internet. Everyone worried about this wrecking the Internet are seeing imaginary monsters in the dark. 
    But we do! If the government doesn't manage it, some big companies will. The difference is that the first option is (hopefully) for the benefit of the people living in the country, whereas the latter will benefit only the ISP's themselves.

    Let's be clear: Prior to this decision, ISPs were allowed to do exactly what you describe, but they didn't.
    If the ISP's didn't violate Net Neutrality prior to this regulation, why does it need removal now?

    If an ISP does, you just switch ISPs.
    And if all the ISP's do?

    I can’t believe anyone (except the isp’s) would favour this. Here is a definition of Net Neutrality from wikipedia:

    Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments regulating most of the Internet must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

    Why would you ever want your ISP to be able to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content?

    Are some people against goverment management for the sake of the principle?
