  • Facebook warns investors of ad headwinds due to App Tracking Transparency

    qwerty52qwerty52
    Years long, for guys like Zuckerberg, it was the most normal thing in the world, to gather and sell our privacy data without permission.
    Their entirely business model was based on stealing en selling. 
    They have made billions of dollars throughout selling us, even when we did not used their apps.
    And now, when Apple has made the very important and courageous step to finally stop this practice, they are crying, shouting and trying to  present themself as a victims.
    Hey Zuck & Co, change your business models or f*** off. Enough is enough.
    We, the users - We are not “For sale”

  • Apple's Eddy Cue wanted to bring iMessage to Android as early as 2013

    qwerty52qwerty52
    Whether iMessage is available or not for Android it’s non of Epic’s business. Apple is free to do whatever it wants with its own apps,  its own OS and its own hardware. Apple is free to decide how to manage and achieve the best possible financial return from the investments they did to create all those products 
    But Epic is continuing to play their dirty game, because they know that their  case is weak.
    Apple should ask to see in the court,  all the e-mails and discussions between Epic’s executives,  about 
    what were the reasons and the considerations at that time, which pushed them to take the decision to bring their games to the AppStore?
    And what has changed in AppStore rules, from the moment they signed the contract till now?

  • Apple's 'M2' processor enters mass production for MacBook Pro

    For all those defending the "Everything Glued together & soldered together" assembly of the MacBooks by saying "Nobody ever upgraded a computer", Andrew just called bull!

    His biggest (only?) complaint about his M1 MacBook Air is that it can't meet his needs because it is frozen in time with what it came with when he bought it -- versus his MacPro which grew and developed with enhancements as his needs, wants and requirements grew.

    Likewise, my 9 year old i7 Thinkpad runs perfectly well and meets all of my needs -- because it's been upgraded to a 500Gb SSD, 16Gb Ram and an internal harddrive used for ongoing, real time backups.  Without those cheap and very simple to install (5 minutes or less) upgrades the machine would have been scrap

    The question is:
    Are you buying a computer to work with it, or are you buying a computer to work on it? 
    Are you trying to make it beter, because the computer-maker didn’t make it good enough?
    Are you doing the same with your car? Every two years changing the old engine with a new, more powerful one?

  • Browsers push back against Google's proposed FLoC ad system

    qwerty52qwerty52
    Google concerned about users’s privacy? Who still believes that? 
    Hypocrisy from the highest level!
    Whatever they say or do, we all know, that Google desperately needs our privacy data, because of Google’s business model.
    Where are they going otherwise to get their money from, if they don’t gather our privacy data?
    I simply don’t trust Google and I’ve never even thought to install Chrome.

    Interesting, NVidia is a US based company so unlikely to be a threat. Although I suppose they could then sell it to whomever they want in the future.
    NVidia is a US based company in China’s hands
