  • Microsoft contributes to Java port for Apple silicon Macs

    Do you think Apple will have a closed App Store except for rare software? I'm thinking Apple is gonna reset apps for Mac with Apple Silicon. This will close security holes etc.

  • Girl flags massive iOS ad scam campaign targeting kids

    How does an installer hide the app icon? I think that's one of the more scary things to come out of this article.

    Like another user posted this is crappy Androids "free and open" system. It would be near impossible to do this on Apple devices.

    One other small point, before GoogleGuy pops an artery.

    Are the android apps really serving ads outside of the app?

    I'm not sure. If the app icon is hidden, then it could be that the app is running in background without a window, but the ad is still inside the app on some sort of timed thread. Not sure; someone who actually programs Android will probably have the answer; I wouldn't touch it to find out.

    My mom had a crappy knockoff iPhone that couldn't even design the charger without stealing Apple's design, it would get pop-up ads on the homescreen and the lockscreen. It drove her crazy and it was annoying helping her with her phone when a FULL SCREEN ad would pop up every minute.

  • Apple could use 'iPhone 12 mini' name for smallest 2020 model

    Ha this leaker replied to me on YouTube once. I asked why anyone should rely on him and he replied "I'm a known leaker yo". I think he may have gotten offended.


    Anyways 12 "mini" is a dumb name considering regular iPhones were smaller in the past. I'd like a real mini. Maybe a bezel-less 3.5" screen.

  • Users can now set Microsoft Outlook, Edge as iOS 14 defaults

    You can do that, and you can also hit your toes with a hammer.

    Stop that. It's not that bad. I hate how mean people are with Microsoft. It's more like stubbing your toe on a couch.

  • Apple's new tvOS 14 is now available for Apple TV

    Weather Channel app is not working after updating. That is ok, they only use it to play their videos. No local weather anymore, since awhile ago. 

    Here's hoping Apple integrates Dark Sky into Apple TV.

    Have you seen dark sky? It's beautiful:
