Apple says no customer information involved in hack by Australian teen
Unsurprising.
If the hack had involved customer accounts then the company would’ve been obliged to make the hack public to warn customers.
However, the fact he had access to “authorised keys” seems to indicate that Apple is leaking somewhere. The network is secure, but some procedure somewhere is not.

Apple Store seen growing to 600 locations worldwide by 2023
That’s a very good question, sir!NY1822 said:how close does everyone here live to an apple store....curious
About ten minutes by car; eighteen minutes walking. Once you factor in parking, it’s easier to walk.

Cook says Apple not in music streaming for the money, touts human content curation
Mmmm. I don’t think this is right.ihatescreennames said:
Yes, iTunes Match matches the exact songs or uploads yours if there isn’t an exact match. Apple Music doesn’t do that, it just finds a close matchGeorgeBMac said:ihatescreennames said:
What you’re referring to is the matching functionality built into Apple Music. As far as I can tell, AM attempts to match songs by name and length, which sometimes means a song you have can be matched incorrectly. If you subscribe to iTunes Match that won’t happen.GeorgeBMac said:tallest skil said:If you’re really not in it for the money, HOW ABOUT YOU LET VOICE CONTROLS ON THE HOMEPOD CONTROL AN ITUNES LIBRARY OF MUSIC RATHER THAN JUST APPLE MUSIC, THEN.
That’s $350 they’re never going to see from me (hell, I was going to get two of them), because I’m not using streaming services. Ever. Local content, only and always. Fix the HomePod, Apple.Even when you do migrate your iTunes library into Apple Music, the songs are replaced with Apple's versions -- yeh, it's the same song and same artist, but a different version. I have older songs in my library that got replaced with remakes from 30 years later -- totally different. And, if Apple doesn't have that particular song in its library, it then disappears from yours.
I ran into that problem a few years ago. I have a bunch of “custom” songs in my iTunes library. As an example, I may have a song where the song starts normally through the first verse and chorus, then starts again from the beginning and plays through to the end. I have a version of Praise You by Fatboy Slim that falls into a category like that. It is essential I have that specific version. But AM “matched” the version I have to a very different remix of that song that was unusable for my needs, but had the same title and almost the same length.
Switching to iTunes Match solves that. The version I have has been uploaded and is the one I get when I need it.I'm not sure I get that: "iTunes Match", by its very name suggests that they match your particular version of a song to something in their library --- which means that you get back what's in their library rather than yours.I just want my own library back with its own version of the songs and the genre's that I assigned them to.

Apple's HomePod seizes 'small but meaningful' portion of US smart speaker market
Because people keep replying to him, which means clicks, which means profit!macxpress said:
Why aren't you banned yet?nunzy said:Apple doesn't care about market share.They make a tidy profit on every HomePod they sell. They also use HomePod as a camel's nose Under the Tent in order to solidify their hold on the customer's purchase of future products. All that Apple cares about is maximizing profit. If they could increase profits while servicing only the 1%, they would be eager to do so
