  • Apple ordered to pay $1.9 million to Chinese publisher over copyright case

    When you demand absolute control over what apps users can run, you must take absolute responsibility for anything those apps do. Notice that no one sues PC makers when users install apps that pirate video?
    I agree. Apple enforces absolute control of what apps can run on iPhone through App Store. Then Apple should share responsibility of inappropriate apps. The question is how much. 

    $1.9 million seem reasonable.

  • Chip delivery delays stretch longer as global shortage worsens

    If there was a shortage of potatoes, that doesn't mean I couldn't buy a potato; it would mean that potatoes are more expensive. If I was willing to pay $100 for a potato, I could probably find one. 

    Does this principle of supply and demand not also apply to the global semiconductor shortage? If it applies, I'd like to see the actual price increases for select chips rather than just hear that there's a shortage. If chip suppliers are not raising their prices during a shortage, they are idiots.

    Right now there's a shortage of meat in my country, but I can still go buy meat in any grocery or restaurant. It's just that the prices are 20% higher. I guess meat suppliers are smarter than computer chip manufacturers. 
    TSMC raised prices a few months agp.

  • Apple Silicon iMac Pro coming early 2022, says leaker

    27-inch is only three inches larger than 24-inch. 30-inch will be better suited for a "Pro" model.

  • Chinese students sue Apple over not including chargers with iPhones

    Apple could do better. Apple should put a warning message in the ordering form stating that phone charger in not included. Further, at the end of ordering form there should be an option of adding a charger. If the customer still placing the order, the responsibility is not Apple.

    Yeh ok....  
    But can it run WIndows?
    or, conversely:
    But can it run Facetime, Apple Music, iMessage, Apple TV+, and be unlocked by my watch ?
    Hardware specs are only half the picture -- and maybe less.
    That's not to fault this review, which is, as always, a good one.  But, hardware alone won't get you any closer to where you need to be than a Porsche 911 without gas.

    I would prefer a more complete functional review: 
    --  How does this machine help me get me work done better?  (even if that work is watching AppleTV+)
    --  How does this machine make my life better?

    And again, this is not a criticism of this review -- pretty much all reviews (over) focus on hardware.
    Look at the one star reviews on Dell web site. The biggest complaint is build quality.
