  • Ending Google search partnership would hamstring Apple, says Eddy Cue

    You do not become successful by trying to create products when you can leverage the existing work of others. Car manufacturers stay out of the tire manufacturing business because it is not core to their operations of design and production. Multiple manufacturers exist so you use those. Additionally this is not a field you just jump into.

    Search is certainly something Apple could get into but would it really make sense to try and create a search engine that would pale in comparison to Google, DDG, or Bing. It would be the laughing stock of the industry for several years until it got some type of relevancy. At that point they would have to find users which would be next to impossible as everyone uses Google.

    Any sane company takes the money and never looks back. The government telling a company the products they can and cannot purchase is absurd. Asking 1000 people about search engines would yield: Google - 900+, Bin - 90+, DDG - 5+, and everyone else.

  • US may ban the most popular home router over Chinese security fears

    There is zero chance TP-Link routers are used anywhere within the DoD or even the rest of the government. There might be contractors using them though. 

    As for their pricing if it were a crime to price something artificially low o create a monopoly nearly every single Internet company would be guilty when the all but give away products and services and then jack them up once the competition is gone. Too many to mention but Uber and VRBO are two and of course Microsoft with Teams. Microsoft’s whole business model of only a few dollars per user for each of their components lassoes in every company because they make it painful to not go with all of their products. 

    Apple is one of the few consumer companies who can never be accused of undercutting anyone on price.

  • United Airlines and Air Canada first to offer official support for AirTag link sharing

    American Airlines is conspicuously absent from this list.
    You got to give other airlines some time. Complaining can start after 6 months.

  • Tim Cook rumored to be meeting with Donald Trump for dinner on Friday

    Why does the editor not shut this thread down and clear out the posts. Nobody cares what anyones political party or beliefs are. You are just talking to yourself when you post. The attacks are beyond petty.

  • Numbers, Pages, and Keynote gain Apple Intelligence smarts

    It would be great if Numbers supported saved functions. No need to be the level of Excel. Putting complex statements in a cell is more complicated than it needs to be.
