Embarrassing Qualcomm ad claims 'I'm a Mac' actor is switching to Windows ARM over notific...
No Mac user is switching to a PC and no PC user, who would even know what Snapdragon is, will be switching it.

Microsoft's Copilot PC and the M3 Mac killer myth
Your typical home Windows users does not see $1000 notebooks as affordable or reasonable. They have been using the sub $600 POC's not knowing there is a better experience to be add once you get the $1000 or higher. They will not spend the money and no Mac users are jumping ship. Everything more or less stays the same. The shame of it is acting like this is the only computer that can do AI even though Apple has had the equivalent set up 4-5 years ago. The media consists of a bunch of dull tools buying whatever line Microsoft will give them.
"Recall" is something that employers will love. Makes current monitoring look amateur.

UK rushes through Digital Markets Act copycat to regulate mostly US big tech
You lost me at the blocking of streaming services. As a customer you are paying for Internet and that is one you can use as you see fit. There is no Internet without streaming package I am aware of. The CableTV and home phone business is in a nursing home bed on life support with a shrinking customer base. Cable companies will become ISP's and have to find new ways to gouge us. In the end wired ISP's will be used by businesses only.mikethemartian said:
Well Spectrum pays money to your community’s local franchise board for that privilege so if you have an issue with it you should complain to them. Also I’m betting that Spectrum can’t block your access to streaming services such as Apple TV, Netflix, Disney+, etc. despite the fact that those streaming services compete with Spectrum’s TV packages and uses their communication network.slow n easy said:I feel so frustrated that Apple doesn't just say "Fuck Europe". There is no monopoly. The U.S. Congress is also trying to say that Apple is a monopoly. That's ridiculous. A monopoly is like when I want to subscribe to cable TV and my only option is Spectrum. If I want cable TV, then I only have one choice and that's it. That's a monopoly. Apple should be able to run their "store" how they feel fit. It's their store. Is the government trying to tell Walmart what they can or cannot put in their store? Are they trying to dictate to Walmart what prices they can charge? If you are not happy with Apple's business practices, then buy a phone from one of a dozen other manufacturers. No one is forcing you against your will to buy an Apple device.

The EU leader (Vestager) narrowed her reasoning by saying Apple has a monopoly on the high end mobile phone market. This is a creative way to walk around the just about 50/50 split of iOS and Android users. Since that statistic does not work, find one that does which is making cost a delimiter.
Even this is sketchy because the actual cost of a phone to a consumer varies widely when carrier subsidies are accounted for. You can get any iPhone with subsidies even though you are paying for them indirectly.

Delta Emulator changes logo after Adobe legal threat
The product is free and you search the store by name so I doubt it will hurt "sales".AppleInsider said:The change of logo is unfortunate, especially since the App Store has started to allow emulators to be submitted. Delta is a major name in the emulation field on iPhone, and changing branding like a logo could be especially damaging at such an important time.
