    Soooo... does that mean Apple cannot introduce any products that compete with existing ones. Doesn’t that give existing manufacturers an anticompetitive edge?
    I just keep thinking that Tile has been around for years and a minuscule number of consumers own them. That seems to be a major missed opportunity on their part. Apple will probably sell more Air Tags than Tile has ever sold in just the first 12 hours and somehow that's anti-competitive. Sorry kiddos. You had a huge head start and still couldn't make your product the de facto standard.
    Right. How many non-techies do you know that could tell you what Tile is? When your company’s consumer-oriented product has been on the market for as long as Tile and most people don’t know what it is it doesn’t bode well for the future of your company. That doesn’t have anything to do with competitors.

    By the way, even among my “techie” friends, I know very few that use Tile at all.
    I’ve never seen anyone with a Tile and I worked in The Valley for 3 years. I’m all for fair competition but Apple shouldn’t be guilty of building up an ecosystem that people prefer. Fine, investigate and if there is any true anticompetitive behavior then do something, but it’s not anticompetitive simply to come out with a competing product 8 years later.

  • Apple Watch Support for Bike+ cut back due to GymKit implementation issues, says Peloton

    A little off topic, but I would speculate that the woman in that photo did not get that ripped from a Peloton.
    That’s Tunde. She’s also teaches some Bike Bootcamp classes among others which involves strength training. Most of the instructors teach several types of classes with the exception of some of the long distance hardcore cyclists and yoga and meditation instructors. But yeah, she’s not ripped by just riding the bike.

    This isn’t uncommon in India. One of my former employers had this happen at their Pune factory a few years back. Destroyed equipment and glass throughout the building and actively sought out managers the to beat up.

  • YouTube TV hikes monthly subscription price to $65

    Same here. I got sick of paying $80+ dollars on a cable bundle and this is getting to that point. Even more now with the addition of these latest channels.

    I cut the cord to cut the bloat -- in channels and price. Now this? Paying for channels I'll never watch? Again? WTF.
