Long-time Mac developer's apps pulled from Mac App Store because of automated system failu...
Well, what it seems to be is a likely glitch. But hey, let’s insinuate there’s a nefarious reason while you can.WarrenBuffduckh said:If this is what it seems to be, Apple has become the worst of the most evil phenomenon Steve Jobs attacked in 1984.

Apple may return iOS to its original 'iPhone OS' name at WWDC
Actually, except for MacOS, the other OSs: TVOS, WatchOS, and iPadOS were developed based in the original iOS. In other words, they are all essentially iOS tailored for their respective devices, except without the bloat of code that would be irrelevant for the other devices but with the extra code that would enhance the use of those different form-factors.OutdoorAppDeveloper said:Each device could have tailored the UI to its own needs. But that would have been hard. Instead now we have iPhone OS, iPad OS, Watch OS, Mac OS and soon Glass OS. Such a missed opportunity.
Not at all a missed opportunity.

Canada launching national contact tracing app built with Apple-Google API
Weren't companies already working on this concept prior to Covid-19? I believe previous pandemics inspired the development and Covid-19 sped it up.DAalseth said:My first reaction was FINALLY!
Then I thought about it. The virus really got going in March. That’s only three months ago. Three months to put together, test and debug, something like this is actually very fast. -
Neil Young rails against 'Fisher-Price' MacBook Pro audio for music production
There's a difference between critiquing from a place of knowledge and complaining due to a lack of knowledge. Neil Young is a legend as a musician and when he produced music, it wasn't with modern technology. From a technological standpoint, he sounds like he's behind the times.spice-boy said:
So sensitive to any criticism especially when it might be true of your beloved Apple. Critique makes things better, if you ever created anything in your life you would understand this. When you stop listening to criticism (of your work not your person) what you create will be subpar.pscooter63 said:"Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
An Apple man don't need him around anyhow..."

Apple's use of Location Services data tied to UWB management & federal guidelines
Exactly. It used to be that when people discovered questionable things, they would ask the company for an explanation. Now, let’s just spread it all over social media first and create FUD.rogifan_new said:
It seems to me it’s others turning a mole hill into a mountain. It’s almost like tech media and security researchers want people to be in a constant state of panic or freakout. It’s like when the news came out that Google was working with a big hospital system on analytics. Big freak out in tech media even though the number of people at Google working on this project was small and everything was HIPPA compliant.CloudTalkin said:How to turn a mole hill into a mountain.
Step 1. Implement a function. Tell no on about it.
Step 2. Have it discovered by someone outside the organization.
Step 3. Retroactively explain, then offer an opt out.
Opt out after the fact gives the impression that "we're only offering an opt out because someone found out what we're doing". Unnecessary self infliction.
Apple stop punching yourself in the nuts. The optics are always worse when "caught" doing something. That vaunted Marketing department could have easily preemptively spun this as a security and safety bullet point of the 11 series and 100% we would have had multiple articles extolling the virtues of UWB geofencing. Not a negative peep would have been heard.
