  • Apple takes biggest share of smartphone activations in December 2020

    I wonder if this was the reason why the Apple ID servers was having problems.  I had to log back in many of times on my Apple devices.

  • Oracle will move headquarters to Texas from California

    Just hope the employees of Oracle doesn't bring the crazy California ideals to Texas.  The California ideals will destroy Texas and especially Oracle.  Oracle will die then.  I'm from Texas but living in California.  Yes, very odd.  The California State legislation has no idea what reality is about.  Newsom is living in his own bubble.  From the various news stories, they think they can flaunt the laws and regulations of what we can do.  I've had it with state politicians here thinking they're above everyone else.  They love to speak with forked tongue.  The low and middle class people are the ones the California state government loves to shaft.

    Again, I just hope the Oracle employees doesn't bring the California ideals with them.  They need to know the true reality outside of California.

    Just my thoughts.

  • FTC warns of new Apple support call scam

    gatorguy said:
    I've received calls from both scammer camps in the past two months.

    The Apple one was pretty much as described here (my iCloud account is locked due to suspicious activity), but in the Amazon one it was a "Thank you for your order of an Apple iPhone in the amount of $997, scheduled to ship tomorrow. If this order is correct you need to do nothing, your credit card is being charged prior to shipment. If the order was placed in error please press one to be connected to an Amazon customer service representative"
    Sometimes I get emails sent to my alias email address.  I don't have my name associated with those alias email addresses.  It's funny, they also start with Dear email address, not my name.  When I see that, yep, it's a scam.  

    I haven't received any scam phone calls regarding my Apple iCloud account.

  • Apple, others seek to obscure sensitive data in Google antitrust suit

    I would have to agree with Apple since DuckDuckGo is involved.

  • Apple, Facebook spar over privacy features in iOS 14, overall policies

    I’ll be happy when ATT rolls out. I wonder, though, if people will even pay attention or just tap to make the dialog box disappear so they can get on with whatever. I know a lot of people who claim not to care about being tracked. 

    Side note: I’d like it if Apple surprised everyone with features like this and the paste notification. Wouldn’t if be great if you updated one day and got to see how many apps were surreptitiously checking your clipboard before those apps had a chance to fix the behavior?
    I love your second statement.
