  • Bill Atkinson, pioneering early Apple engineer, dies at 74

    Atkinson gave us HyperCard which in turn inspired the creation of both WWW and JavaScript. I loved HyperTalk.
    And he developed overlapping windows as part of QuickDraw. Imagine not having them.
    Not to mention his creation of MacPaint that defined image editing. The core tools and concepts in Photoshop still look and behave like MacPaint.

    He should be remembered at apple.com and/or WWDC.

    The EU requirements are perfectly reasonable for the goals they have in mind.
    Apple is the winner on this. Imagine any of those "sell and forget" competitors offering repairability for 7 years.
    I do however hope Mother Nature won't visit the next keynote. A card will do!

  • Apple appeals against EU mandate that it freely share its technology

    Seen a few comments on ASML.

    If the EU regulated ASML and their monopoly like they do Apple then ASML would be forced to give competitors and startups access to their proprietary technology so ASML doesn’t have an unfair advantage.
    Having a monopoly/dominant position/being a gatekeeper isn't illegal in the EU. It comes with certain responsibilities. If ASML decided to sell only to some customers or told their vendors not to deliver to competitors or their customers that they had to be 100% ASML to get support then ASML would be hit as well.

    Clearly, the best and only really viable option is for Apple to sell dumbed down iPhones in the EU, devices that don't receive the latest technology and even have some features removed.
    Mediocre by design
    How US car manufacturers and Apple won the EU through subpar products

    Could I get a signed copy?

  • Lighter than normal WWDC expected without significant Apple Intelligence upgrades

    But Project Titan wasn't just about designing a car--it was a proof of concept as to whether a car could be built, delivered and sold in sufficient quantities at the price point Apple would need. Pulling the plug when Tim did was better than delivering the automotive equivalent of Lisa. 
    A 10 year POC for designing a car? How many decades would Apple then spend on building it?

    As for not delivering a Lisa.... AVP is an unsellable miracle of tech like Lisa. It has to be more affordable and open a new market (like DtP) to become a Mac - but for now Cook shipped a Lisa. Which is obviously better than shipping two. I do however believe Car would have been able to disrupt a market.
