  • YouTube Music & Premium claims 50 million total users

    I pay for Premium as I despise advertising and have no interest in YouTube Music.

    As a sub to YouTube TV, we should get ad free YouTube without paying extra.

    I hate advertising and Apple should too.

  • Microsoft Surface Pro announcement event is on September 22

    I think the Surface line predates the iPad Pro.

    I have to suffer through Windows at work and 10 is a great improvement over previous versions. There is quite a bit of howling among the Windows crowd over MS putting in some HW restrictions on upgrading to 11.

    if AI staff is peeking at this I would like a nice detailed story/video on running ARM Windows on Parallels on Apple Silicon.

  • Google making its own Chromebook CPU inspired by Apple's M1

    Can’t these bozos innovate anything on their own? Why are they watching what Apple does and then follow Apple’s lead? When the iPhone was introduced a Google Android engineer famously said they knew they would have to start over. 
    There are more than a few bozos in the rip off of trade dress, technology and such. Imitation is always cheaper than innovation.

  • Apple to ask all employees to voluntarily report Covid vaccination status

    Science does not care what your politics are or where you go to worship (or not).

    I work in healthcare and am directly exposed to confirmed positive and potential Covid infected people every shift I work and I am quite tired of these people who will believe everyone but a qualified and informed scientist or Physician. I had to throw a family member out of our ER last week who refused to comply with our policy and opposed the most polite and reasonable requests to conform. It is tedious to repeatedly deal with this and their behavior is dangerous to staff, visitors and patients.

    I am not the lawyer of the family but it seems such a policy could open Apple to potential lawsuits later on. Tim should plainly tell them to get vaccinated or find other work and that they will not be eligible for rehire for refusing to follow policy.

    We are far from done with Covid as most of the people on our planet are not vaccinated and the virus will continue to mutate. The Delta variant that is the current dominant one in the US came from India. Expect more waves later on until the bulk of humanity has been vaccinated.

    Nobody is more tired of PPE and all the rest than I, but it is well past time we all start acting like responsible adults and do what is necessary to protect the vulnerable and get this virus under control.
