    Okay...lots of weird things. 3 things - 

    1- can a president just decide not to enforce a law? One where the stated reason is based on implied foreign manipulation?

    2- The Dem's were idiots for passing this in the first place. The nature of the stated concerns are obviously ridiculous.

    3- I don't have a 3 I guess...but this is really silly.

    Yeah, blame the Dems.  Who instigated it?
    “the Dems” - which includes Joe Biden - gave into sinophobia and helped make it a law. 
    Check your facts before you reveal your political biases and how they keep you from thinking rationally. The Tik Tok ban was started by Trump in 2020.

    Facts aren't a big thing in MAGA world.  Just blame the Dem's for everything and then ignore when the facts come rolling in.  If I had a dollar for every time a MAGA was proven wrong with facts and still wouldn't admit they were wrong, I'd have more money than Musk!

  • Judge orders Apple to comply with 2021 anti-steering injunction or return to court

    Dear Lowe’s CEO,

    I make this cool widget that I would like to sell in your store. The cost is $0 and you cannot mark it up at all. I do make a hefty profit and all of my revenue with licensing fees so you get nothing in return for providing space on your shelves, warehousing, storage, marketing and advertising and providing a ready and willing customer. You must also provide tech support and testing services for free in every state and city to ensure compliance with local laws. Oh, and if you ever change your store layout, you have to give me the same support you give every other vendor in your store.  

    So, how soon can I get a dedicated end-cap in every single store worldwide to sell my products?
    Another (poor) analogy?  Please, just stop with these fake analogies.  The App Store doesn't have physical "shelf space" limitations and developers pay a fee to have access to it.  That's Apple's own rules.  Why you have to use false equivalencies is beyond me.

    So apple should spend time and money creating and running the app store and get nothing for it?
    How many iPhones would Apple sell if there wasn't an Apple App Store?  Seems like it's in Apple's own self-interest to have an App store.

    So tired of people portraying the App Store as some sort of favor Apple is doing for us.  With out it, no one would buy an iPhone. 

    Quit making Apple the victim here.

    I might remind you developers pay a fee to access the App Store so your question is completely uninformed and inaccurate.

  • AirPods Max vs Sony XM6 - Over-ear headphones shootout

    Why bother to review headphones without comparing the sound? Seriously, features comparisons mean little without discussing the sound quality, which is the core feature of headphones. It's like comparing cars without mentioning the engine or doing a test drive.

    Agreed.  It's a long, over-worded summary of a specs sheet.  The article is titled "shootout", not specs comparison, and since their primary purpose is to replay music, I also found it odd there was no mention or comparison of sound quality.  Equivalent of an article about 2 high end TV's without mentioning screen quality.

    "Apple is estimated to sell around 320,000 iPhones in the US every day"?  That seems high.  Every 10 days, they sell 3.2M iPhones?  Every 100 days they sell 32M phones?  That's 10% of the entire US population every 100 days, and we all know most people have cheaper Androids.
