  • Apple execs excited about M1 Max MacBook Pro video editing capabilities

    Yes that’s great. But it is still not possible to import Video from Sony SXS Cards. SXS Cards are used in Sony and Arri Broadcast and Cinema cameras

    We are waiting since one year to get a updated device driver for SXS Cards. 

    Without this updated driver, the super fast M1 MacBook Pro is useless for our job. Ingesting Footage is impossible. 

    So sad!


    It appears you are a professional, so no doubt you’re used to having a lot of specialist equipment - it’s unlikely you are going to find all you need in a consumer product without having some extra gear, even if it has the label Pro or Max - so sad!

  • Google and Facebook teamed up to beat Apple's consumer privacy agenda

    AppleInsider publishes an article damning Google and Facebook of trying to circumvent Apple. While at the same time, Apple has successfully blocked 25 trackers (here on this article)  from profiling me. Lol, the irony.

    If you want to be tracked and profiled it’s within your powers to allow it LoL, the irony 😃

  • Google Play drops all subscription commissions to 15% from day one

    I think Apple should drop everything to 15% commission. The current situation is too complicated. As an under-$1M developer, I can't sell or buy apps without being bumped to 30% commission. Better to just keep it simple for everyone at 15%. Apple can handle the decreased revenue from the large developers.

    Here's another idea: Apple should consider dropping the commission even further to 5%. So the App Store is basically a loss leader to sell hardware. It will lead to more apps in the App Store, will end all the gripes and lawsuits from developers about high rates, and basically kneecap other app stores from gaining a foothold.
    Another idea - Apple should close the app store and concentrate their efforts into the own apps and a few favoured developers. Most apps I have bought through the app store have not really turned out to be that useful, but the ones bought externally (usually for much more money)  have been long term really useful. I am happy to drift back (maybe not all the way) to the bad old days where there is a few successful developers "commanding the roost". (Might solve a few litigation issues at the same time)

  • Intel CEO hopes to win back Apple with a 'better chip'

    ? I know three engineers who work for Intel, one of them complained to me for years that the only solution was adding more capacitors which adds more heat.  All of this was true but Apples approach wins out because the engineers I talked to at Intel didn’t see a way forward and now the CEO knows today that they’re going to be destroyed by these new chips, obliterated is a more correct term to use…
    Don't you mean Transistors?

  • Big Tech law proposals slowed in Europe by parliamentary squabbles

    Catch 22 - The requirement to tax the very successful companies but at the same time encourage them to stay local.

    Government spending inevitably only goes up due to the people (us) demanding more (we all believe something should be done about …… fill in whatever bugs you).

    We will eventually cross the barrier - more being sucked out of the economy than goes in.

    The US has traditionally swung between raising domestic taxes and encouraging trade (lowering import duty) to lowering domestic taxes and taxing those pesky importers (or more correctly the consumers of the imports).

    Neither solution solves the problem - governments have to spend less overall - but who will vote for that.

    Here endeth the lesson
