I really don't get the premise of For All Mankind. Makes no sense to create an alternative history drama about a major event such as the moon landing.

I'm guessing you've never seen Man in the High Castle.  Not only that, there are a ton of alternative history movies and TV shows that have been made over the years.  It's nothing new.  

On topic:  If Cue is concentrating on quality over quantity, what's his definition of quality?  Quality content is a purely subjective concept.  Regardless, no matter how much he prioritizes quality (whatever that means), he's going to have to have quantity as well.  The service is going to have to appeal to wide audiences if it wants the sub count to grow.  Additionally, every offering isn't going to be a success.  Anyone who has even the smallest amount of knowledge of the entertainment industry knows that it's a numbers game.  50 shows get produced in the hopes that 5 might be successful... 35 of the produced shows might not even make it a pilot.  I'm sure Apple knows that as well so they are going to have to pump out content in volume to get the few quality shows that might emerge.

I'm sure Apple and developers will find most of the issues before its released. Comparing Apple's implementation to Google and Facebook logons is like comparing a locked door to an open one. OpenID can complain all they want but lets hear their assessment about logging in with Facebook and Google. I highly doubt Apple will be logging any personal data and will not be selling anything while Facebook and Google are guaranteed to be selling everything they get.

Based on your comment, I don't think you understand the subject matter.  Their issue with Sign in With Apple has nothing to do with logging personal data or selling anything.  It's kind of hard for you to give an opinion about OpenID's complaint when you don't seem to even know what their complaint is about.  If their complaint about the security of Apple's implementation is valid, comparing it to Google and Facebook logins won't make it any more secure.  That's simply unnecessary deflection.  The complaint is critical gaps in security, not data collection.   

Apple will most likely address any valid security issues from OpenID's complaint before release.  

Overheard at Apple HQ: For every YES there are a thousand NO's. Take this for example... here's and idea for a car with no steering wheel being controlled by Siri.  That there? That is NO #'s 7 through 842.  

Seriously though, Ive and his team had some really great ideas that produced successes.  Not every idea (the one above) fit that category.  Still doesn't discount the work they did.  In a world of pluses and minuses, Ive was definitely a plus.  Same goes for the members of the team that remain.  They're going to have some great ideas and some ideas that fall into the same category as Ive's SiriCar.  Apple gone be aight.

Bright side, with Ive running his own shop, we just might get some really crazy stuff since no one will be over him to provide the 1000 NO's.

Is Ive's new studio LoveFrom or shoudl it be "LoveFORM"  Surely the latter sounds more appropriate.

LoveForm - function can take a hike....

It's LoveFrom.  From FastCompany article: 

LoveFrom? Sort of an odd name on first hearing, right? Well, there’s a story there. The name comes from this Steve Jobs quote, paraphrased by Ives in a Financial Times piece today.

“There was an employee meeting a number of years ago and Steve [Jobs] was talking . . . He [said] that one of the fundamental motivations was that when you make something with love and with care, even though you probably will never meet . . . the people that you’re making it for, and you’ll never shake their hand, by making something with care, you are expressing your gratitude to humanity, to the species.”

“I so identified with that motivation and was moved by his description. So my new company is called ‘LoveFrom’. It succinctly speaks to why I do what I do.”

It’s called a typo.

No, it's called LoveFrom.  A cursory googling would disavow you of the notion of LoveForm.
