  • Claris FileMaker Pro gets native Apple Silicon update

    I sure miss the original FileMaker, I used it professionally in the early 90’s  - it was very intuitive yet powerful, and did everything I needed (and more) - I have tried the options on the Mac App Store without any luck meeting my needs

  • First Google Store takes an opposite approach from Apple retail

    if they really are going to historically display their products, I will gladly send them my gen 1 Nest - like some other users experienced in cold climates, a botched background update made the Nest nonfunctional, allowing for major water damage in early 2016 while out of town - what a fun time that is to remember

  • New York State Senate passes right to repair legislation

    Is this really in the interest of consumers?  And, Who’s pushing this ?

    One would think the NY state legislature has a few more important issues to address.

  • Official 'Ted Lasso' merch to go on sale soon

    If season 2 (which we’ve already seen the premier for) launches in late July, Apple can have jerseys made sooner than September ... why wait ? surprising popularity makes no sense, the first season didn’t just end this month

  • Apple, Epic Games experts debate whether iOS gamers switch to other platforms

     For example, 10.2% of all "Fortnite" players used iOS between March 2018 and July 2020. They accounted for about 13.2% of "Fortnite's" revenue, totaling about $745 million out of $5.63 billion.

    So, am I thinking about this correctly - Epic is suing Apple over a “measly” $92M per year ?

    $745M revenue over 29 months ~ $308M year
    $308M x 30% ~ $92M

    Apple obviously provides a number of services for the $92M ... store fronting, credit card processing and hosting the app for downloading. Thus, Epic would have to pay for those services elsewhere, and so they are really suing for ~ $50-70M / yr.... or roughly 1% of their overall revenue from FN.
