  • A former Apple engineer is learning the hard way that you shouldn't threaten the FBI

    Reading the article, even though it doesn't describe his origins, I sense an implicit "Florida man..."  CA has its fair share of crazies too.
    As a Floridian I am surprised to hear that he wasn’t.

  • Apple speaks out against Epic's contempt of court accusation

    Can someone explain to me why only Apple is getting attacked? Consoles such as the Switch and Playstation don’t allow alternative app stores. In the switch’s Fortnite case VBucks aren’t usable if you got them from outside the switch store/battle pass. In fact I logged into my account on Playstation and I had 4,700 vbucks while My Switch said 700.

  • Half of recent Mac buyers are switchers from rival platforms

    I discount these "studies", but anecdotally I am seeing for Macs in the wild. For @apple4thewin I don't think any of the people who are converting are using games as a reason not to do so. While not a gaming rig, consoles are good enough for most and definitely better than a lot of what gamers play on (unless they have a dedicated gaming rig that always has the best of everything).
    Yeah you are correct about seeing them in the wild especially in colleges. Unfortunately I am a part of the percent of users that has gaming as a top feature. that’s why I personally like gaming laptops since you can easily bring that around everywhere unlike consoles and rigs. As of now I would use Macs as a desktop for editing, etc. but I have high hopes for m5 and beyond.

  • Apple Vision Pro will be the platform for the killer VR app, not Meta

    Still waiting for a killer app. 

    But apple is missing a huge thing by not investing in gaming on the thing. 

    A pool shark app that teaches you where and how forcefully to hit the cue ball as well as where to aim it on the table would be amazing. 

     A modern Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out? I mean come on! 
    If you haven’t already play the Creed Rise to Glory game it includes characters from the Rocky and Creed series

    Yup sounds about right it’s the whole ecosystem of it. The only reason I won’t switch to mac is because I can find a great gaming laptop for the same price as a m3 16gb 512 MacBook Air. And my Epic Games and Steam library are packed with great games from over the years (many of those games still can’t run on a Mac)
