Apple pays millions to end customer's explicit images leak lawsuit
Trying to get other guys not to be assholes is exhausting. No doubt, we’ll get somebody here trying to defend these guys as “not understanding” the ramifications of their actions, but clearly they did here. It was clearly against company policy, and they tried to make it look like it was “self-published” on Facebook.They should have had the book thrown against them, but instead all parties agreed to keep it hush hush. Not what I would have chosen.

Apple developing iPad Pro with glass back and MagSafe, home button-less iPad mini
What we are seeing is the bifurcation of the iPad between consumer and Pro models. The problem, as I see it, is the confusion created by Apple between “pro” and “content creator”. The latter requires all the gewgaws and dongles, while the former just requires greater accuracy, capacity, and clarity. -

Four Apple designers poached by Jony Ive for LoveFrom
If it was you couldn’t tell from all the members of the design team running to reunite with him. That being said, I hope he stays far away from Apple. He got bored with computers and started churning out bad design. Well past time for both party’s to go their separate ways.mobird said:IMO, in appearance it doesn't sound like JI had any allegiance left to Apple when TC took the lead and TC enabled and maybe even coddled some of the negative behavior. It must have been disheartening to be on that team.

Florida governor signs bill to curb 'big tech censorship' of politics
“Free speech” unless you say something they don’t like. Ask me how I know. In the end it’s just another RW echo chamber. Amplifying the voice of perceived grievance again and again and again...sdw2001 said:Really disappointed in the inaccurate and baseless commentary within the article.
The way this is written is really biased. Calling it a "perceived problem" implies that those who believe that large platforms discriminate on ideological groups are somehow wrong or to be dismissed. Moreover, stating that the "claims" have been made "repeatedly" around the Presidential election is sly way of tying those who point out the bias as being tied to the former President, election fraud claims, and January 6th. Finally, AI links to its own article on a political content suppression lawsuit being dismissed. This further undermines the view that political content suppression is real.The bill is the first at a state level taking on a perceived problem of political content suppression, claims that have repeatedly been made before, during, and after the last U.S. Presidential election.
Reasonable people can disagree on if such suppression is happening and to what extent, but if the author wants to take a position, he should do so directly. If not, it should be written from as neutral a POV as possible.Unless other laws are passed to strip "personhood" from corporations, Florida's new law is not likely to survive a challenge to the Constitutionality of the law.On what is this based? It has nothing to do with "personhood" under the law. It's about requiring transparency for censorship and allowing people to sue under Florida law. Either way, it's a wholly unsupported opinion.
While Apple doesn't operate a social network directly, it has become the target of criticism over Parler, a right-wing social media appParler is not a "right-wing" social media app. That is patently false. Parler is a free speech app. It was and is populated by conservatives and libertarians, but welcomes all viewpoints, including those left of center. It was never designed or marketed to be a right-wing social media app.
