  • Apple kills long-time event archive on YouTube

    The irony here is that if it were discovered that Apple had inappropriately used a single line of GPL'd code, there would be torches and pitchforks as far as the eye could see.  But the wholesale copying and redistribution of Apple's WWDC videos?  That's fine.

    When it comes to Apple, the tech community is all about "Rules for thee but not for me".

  • Despite criticism, Self Service Repair still makes devices more repairable

    Right-to-repair is the domain of special interests.  The people and organizations banging the drum for RtR are literally in the repair business.

    Beautifully, Apple gave them exactly what they asked for - a way for the end user to repair their own devices.  Of course that's not at all what they wanted - they would like Apple to make design changes so as to enhance their own bottom line.

  • Apple takes down online Apple Store for 'updates' [u]

    Roderikus said:
    If you can’t maintain a virtual store while upgrading, you shouldn’t be in the online business.

    “It’s a common failing, and it’s been with the race as long as it has had social organization. A little business man thinks his tiny business is as complex and difficult as the whole government. By inversion, he conceives himself as competent to plan the government as the chief executive. Going further back in history, I’ve no doubt that many a peasant thought the job of the king was a simple one and that he could do it better if he only had a chance. What it boils down to is lack of imagination and overwhelming conceit”  --Robert A. Heinlein. “Beyond This Horizon.” (1948)
