If I'm not. mistaking, you can stream Pandora on Apple audio devices, but not Spotify. This is as it should be for all the b*tching Spotify does in public. Also, It'd be just-desert if Epic was never again allowed on the App Store for all of their public grandstanding and muck-raking! Apple's public persona, however, tells me that if any of these sad-ass companies conformed to Apple's standards, they let them back in a heartbeat.

  • Tim Cook attends opening of Adele's Las Vegas residency

    A Las Vegas "residency" is how celebrities admit that their salad days are over, and they are no longer relevant. But can still draw an audience of aging fans.
    A residency at Ceasar's Colosseum means no such thing! The idea that Adele, who's at the height of her popularity, is waning is ludicrous! I've attended concerts there and the enormously costly, lavish productions say otherwise. I get that Las Vegas is the last-best-hope of many artists on their way down, but it's also the home of some of the most successful performers and astounding performances anywhere on the planet.

  • Apple kills long-time event archive on YouTube

    thinkman100000000thinkman100000000
    The videos in question were decades-old recordings of WWDC events.
    Due to the multiple violations, not only were the videos removed, but Shanks' YouTube channel has been disabled.
    In addition to losing the archive, Shanks also lost his personal YouTube account, as well as his YouTube TV, which he'd just paid for.

    I wonder what prompted Apple to take this action. They certainly had every right to do so, just not clear on why, after so many years, they did this. As for the actions of YouTube, that's on them……not Apple, so I'd imagine the issues violated Google's terms of service.

  • Elon Musk again claims one day Tesla will get bigger than Apple is today

    thinkman100000000thinkman100000000
    Musk may be right, but certainly not with him at the helm. His lies and manipulations of the economy, politics, finance, Tesla, FSD, Solar City, and anything that keeps him ahead of the disastrous ex-prez in the 24-hour god-awful news cycle are what Mr. Loose-cannon lives for. Tweet, tweet.

  • Rihanna to headline Apple Music's Super Bowl Halftime Show

    Not that long ago, tramps like Riri made their living on street corners. Today they spew trash from their foul mouths and parade around like "ladies of the night", and make millions. No, I'm not a prude, just using words that won't get censored. Interestingly, Apple will let you play the most disgusting and vile songs from these "ladies" (as will every streaming service) but if you even hint at some of the words they use in a review, Apple will reject it and flip you the bird at the same time. Of course, this is true of most of the rap community. I use Rhianna here because she's the heart of the story. 

    I get worked up about this because these are the "stars" that our kids model themselves after. So, this is not a simple free-speech issue at all.

  • Amazon buying iRobot in a $1.7 billion all-cash deal

    thinkman100000000thinkman100000000
    Maybe Amazon can whip what I consider to be one of the worst companies with the most unrelible products and a tech support department that hasn't the slightest clue as to how to deal with Roomba or M6 Mop issues! I just purchased an Ecovacs Deebot M1 and I'm astounded by the amount of dirt it's mopped up over the last 3 weeks that iRobot's M6 mop didn't get. I'd seriosly like to see iRobot go out of business for all of their deceptive practices, but my hope for anyone who would deem to purchase one of their products might just get the support by Amazon standards rather than iRobot's.

    P.S., My Ecovacs is one of the best products I've purchased in a very long time!
