    If Apple lies then shareholders can sue and those responsible will go to jail.  The law is much more kind to private companies like Tidal.  Also a private company like Tidal does not report its financials publicly like Apple. It would be nearly impossible for anyone suing Tidal to prove they were lying.

    Basically Tidal is Jay-Z and his Rap friends.  Any doubts they would lie?

    Has Apple's current management ever lied about financials subscribers before?  Sorry I give Apple the benefit of the doubt not Jay-Z and Kayene West.  Hell West just got caught lying when he said his songs would never be on Apple Music.  
    So how do we know Apple isn't lying? Yes - the are penalties for lying, but who can prove that Apple isn't lying?
    Who can prove that Apple isn't lying?  Seriously?

    If you're going to make any accusations or insinuations then you need to support your argument.  Making an argument and then asking others to prove a negative is not how things work.  The burden of proof is on you.

    Another jewel from the press release:

    "The Life of Pablo —which was streamed 250 million times in the first 10 days "

    So if Tidal has 3 million users then the average user streamed the Life of Pablo 85 times in 10 days?  Sounds like more bullshet to me.


    What am I missing here?  250 million divided by 10 days is 25 million per day.  25 million divided by 3 million is 8.33.  Did all 3 million users stream it an average of 8.33 times a day?  I highly doubt it, but I think your figure of 85 times a day is waaay off.

    Funny how numbers like this get accepted without any critical analysis.
    Indeed, it is funny how numbers that people want to see get accepted without any critical analysis.  See above.

      Are you suggesting that Google wouldn't use existing technology to build a profile for individuals and use those profiles for the betterment of Google's bottom line? 
    Yup, if you're referring to "microphone spyware" that's exactly what I'm suggesting, as are the authors of the articles I linked that explain what it is and who IS using it. Follow the links as they explain a whole lot more than the AI article does.  
    Sorry, your links did nothing to change my mind and restore my faith in Google; I just don't trust them.  In your over 14,000 posts, how many minds have you changed to see Google in a better light?  None?  Well, better luck with your next 14K.

  • Malware-infected Transmission 2.9 app threatened OS X users, stopped by XProtect

    Non-issue.  This has already been addressed by Apple and it's a little irresponsible of the media to put so much focus on this when there's Windows and Android malware that they could be reporting on instead.
