    There’s nothing inherently wrong with Tim or any of the other current crop of presenters when it comes to “getting the word out.” But Applle doesn’t have Steve anymore and nobody could capture an audience quite like he could
    Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, AMD, AWS,... they all do live to get that extra energy. None of them have Jobs.

    The videos are much better than the live presentations.
    Videos are like not going to that concert or play. There is nothing at stake and presentations are worse for it. We get 10-15 minutes of Mother Nature and too many odd managers from Apple. Nvidia and AMD do live while Apple is to lazy/scared/... to enter the circle.

    Live would give us a CEO taking a computer from a manila envelope, a marketing guy jumping to a gym mat showing wireless, and "you get a mouse" moments. It gives us something to talk about while keynotes today are "long build ups and disappointing drops" matching electronic dance music and celebrity funerals. Go live and connect with users.

    This shows how Apple is capable of deploying globally at pace for applications classified as medical. More than 100 countries in a few months. Impressive!

  • Apple finally brings lossless audio and low-latency audio to AirPods Max

    To be clear, unless I'm misreading this article, the lossless and low latency modes will only be available when the headphones are connected by wire to a lossless audio source. When the headphones are used wirelessly, nothing changes from the current lossy audio formats. 
    It is indeed "Go Air-less for lossless".

    Probably due to Max running Bluetooth 5.0 and Apple having decided to not compete with aptX-Lossless. Back in 2022 there was an article on how Apple would win but we're still at BT5.0 and AAC making aptX-Lossless the best wireless:

  • Apple TV+ is losing billions of dollars -- as planned and expected

    I recall Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both talking emphatically about how promising the future looked for “content owners” in 2007. Apple is now a legitimate content owner with its Apple TV+. If Apple really wanted to, they probably could have acquired Disney, Pixar, etc., at some point.
    "Content is King" is an essay by Gates written in 1996. It was the idea at the time shared with Jobs/Pixar. I disagree. It isn't content or products but distribution. Facebook, YouTube, Amazon, Google Search/Discover (through Chrome) own the distribution. Apple and Google owns distribution of apps. Pixar had no distribution - Disney could deliver that.

    Distribution is where the revenue from sales, subscriptions, and ads have moved. To Google it doesn't matter if you post a video on how to fold a napkin or have a background in journalism. Click is the currency. You don't need to check sources to get clicks. It shows.
