    This show is really quite horrible... so poorly written and stretched out...
    Says, “Thrang”…. Your name is quite horrible, and I’m guessing you haven’t really watched the show.  I love the show, think it’s well written, and the character development is great.  Give it another shot “Thrang”
    Getting personal because he doesn't like the thing you like? That's immature.

  • Apple TV+ abandons Clooney and Pitt's 'Wolfs' sequel

    Yeah the people have spoken -- did not like. It was waaay too cute, writer was much too impressed with himself. Was annoying. Ending sucked.

  • UK group wants $4 billion payout for iCloud users

    I agree with the UK group. Apple’s pricing versus its offer for storage is obscene and clearly a way to gouge customers month after month.

    To say you don’t *have* to use iCloud is disingenuous. The truth is that you have to work to avoid using iCloud. And even when you set it up to avoid it, OSes revert to the default saving to iCloud after each major upgrade.

    It’s one of the reasons why I dislike the current Apple.

    100% BS. Dropbox, MS OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. still exist. Learn how to use them or as the other poster said, switch platforms if iOS is too onerous and costly for you.

    The iPhone worked before iCloud and it still works w/o iCloud.
    You didn’t read his comment. 
    Apparently you didn’t either. The OP claimed it’s disingenuous to claim you don’t have to use iCloud. That’s laughably absurd, and the reply stated so. Others commented the same, that they aren’t using iCloud. Not disingenuous.

  • Apple's largest research lab outside the US opens in China

    No way they’re doing serious research in the CCP’s China, home of corporate espionage and theft.

  • 'Wolfs' is the most-watched movie on Apple TV+ ever

    Watched this with my wife and son a few days back. It wanted to be a Shane Black movie, but didn't have his sensibilities, rhythm, energy, or smartness (see The Nice Guys for how it's done - a movie that gets more than a few nods from in "Wolf").

    Some smart dialogue, but it felt very oddly paced, sparse, and aimless. There's no way this should have been a theatrical release - it quite firmly has a made for TV feel.

    These streamers need to focus on quality scripts first and foremost. "Wolfs" needed one.
    Agreed. It was one note, one gag. Some big plot holes I won't get into. And at the end? Writer just threw a bunch of crazy at the audience and waived his hands to say, "I'm smart! Oh so smart!" Meh.
