  • NFL looks for new Sunday Ticket deal, Apple may be in early talks

    Just like the MLB has their streaming service, the NFL should just make it’s own. That way they don’t have to partner with anyone, they can lower the cost of the package to reach more people, and since there is no middleman provider, they can keep their profits within the same margin. 

    The achilles heal of MLB, are the nonsensical blackouts. If I pay for a service for the season, I want to be able to see EVERY GAME. With less people subscribing to a Cable provider, watching local teams has become more difficult. In my case in NY both Yankee and Mets games are always blacked out, so I can’t watch them even though I am subscribed to the MLB package. 

    If NFL made their own service and made it, where they can watch any game they wanted, people would be all over it.

  • Proposed antitrust bills would ban Apple from preinstalling its own iOS apps

    Would this stop Companies like Dell, HP, or Toshiba, from preloading their own bloatware? Will This stop Amazon, from loading their own apps on their tablets, what about the plethora of Android phones and tablets?

    Apple’s apps can easily be deleted and new apps different apps installed. This bill is absolute nonsense.

  • New Level Lock complete smart lock package with HomeKit arrives

    My front door warps just enough from atmospheric changes (temp and humidity) that the deadbolt won’t go into its socket without my having to either push or pull on the handle depending on the season. Experts say wait until it happens, then adjust the strike plate. Fine, until the season changes again. So much for gadgets. 
    If it’s just a slight adjustment, you could always take a file and shave it down slightly.

  • Fanhouse protests Apple's 30% commission on payments to creators

    When I sell on ebay I am using the ebay platform and have agreed to ebays fees, but I certainly dont see a variation in my pay out based on whether or not someone purchased the item via the web or app, I just see ebay take their standard cut.
    Apple doesn’t take 30% from ebay sales because you are selling physical goods. The 15/30% only applies to digital content.

  • Apple's moves point to a future with no bootable backups, says developer

    Here’s my thoughts, maybe MacOS will be backed up in iCloud, similarly to iOS and iPadOS. This would then allow for someone to wipe their Mac, and replace whatever parts and upon restore, restore items through iCloud. I can understand the lack of being able to make a bootable drive can make someone nervous, I myself have done my fair share of wipes, but as long as Apple has some kind of system to replace it, I think we’ll all be fine.
