  • US spokesman behind on the news pours gas on seemingly settled China iPhone ban

    We are the government and we are here to help or at least meddle even we are completely out of the loop.

  • Ex-Apple employee files RICO lawsuit over whistleblower retaliation

    Obviously a whack job with a lawyer who sees a large cut of any settlement. I hope Apple fights her to the end. 

    One thing that is definitive…no one will ever hire her for any job in any capacity and that includes as a volunteer.

  • Apple arguing iMessage isn't big enough to be EU gatekeeper service

    The kind of person introducing these laws to target those that cause them discomfort never stops to think it might one day be applied to them.
    Huh?
    The implication of the original post is that it is ok to go after something so long as it is not something you want gone after by someone else. As an example considering a government ban on cigarettes and cigars, which is ok with you because you do not smoke. Next a ban on alcohol which is ok because you do not drink. The next thing to be banned is soda and again you are ok with that since you do not drink soda. At some point the next item to be banned might be something you like at which time it will not be ok with you even though your thoughtless self watched stuff everyone else liked be banned and now everyone has lost out of something the like.

    There is a similar usage referring to the people who watched the atrocities of the Nazi government as they systematically rounded up different groups of people and no one cared because they were not in that group and when their group was next no one was left to stand up for them.

  • Game Mode isn't enough to bring gaming to macOS, and Apple needs to do more

    In terms of games the vast majority of players use dedicated consoles. Makes no sense for Apple to pursue the fringe gamers who want dedicated rigs that also run other software. Were it something Apple wanted to do there is nothing stopping them from going all in on a gaming PC, but they obviously have zero interest in doing so.

  • Brilliant launches plug-in Smart Home Control with Siri support

    Do they offer one that connects to power in an existing electrical box. The visible wire running down the wall is not great.
