  • Apple has again Sherlocked developers with Clipboard History

    purplepearpurplepear
    It also a feature that got added to Windows 10 despite clipboard management tools being available for Windows.

    It is the sort of thing that should be included in a modern OS. Arguably it is the sort of thing that should have been relatively obvious to add long ago seeing, as you point out, it can really aid productivity.

    Writing an article about ‘sherlocking’ like only Apple have and would do such a thing with a clear OS enhancing feature is pure click baiting.  

    If Apple didn’t add this feature when other OS have it you would write an article complaining about its absence too.

  • Sorry, Netflix support isn't coming to the Apple TV app

    Well screw Netflix then. Honestly I have not really missed it much since they shut down the in app subscriptions anyway.

  • Apple TV app finally starts including Netflix series [u]

    purplepearpurplepear
    Wording of the heading implies that Apple were the hold out here.. Surely to be more accurate it should start something like ‘Netflix finally allows…’

    i hope this gets full and world wide support soon.  Is part of the reason I haven’t rushed to pay Netflix even more money for a subscription when they stopped the convenient in app purchased subscriptions working.

  • Should the Apple Store be forced to sell lemons?

    Thank you DED, looking forward to the next article.

    Every Monday? I must have been missing your articles as hadn’t seen one of this quality for quite a while.. 

    Much prefer the honest opinions of DED over the articles that are clearly just catering to the anti-Apple crowd that insist on habitually frequenting Apple centric websites and forums.. Or worse, obviously written just to encourage arguments in the comments.

  • Apple will pause U.S. Apple Watch sales starting December 21

    This is about nothing more than money. And I don’t  just mean Masimo.  Their market cap is 6 billion. Apple’s is 3 trillion.  Right now Apple feels it’s cheaper and easier to announce they’re going to comply with the order and fight it in the courts. If necessary, they’ll simply buy the company outright.  Announcing they are actually going to stop selling the latest. Apple Watch is a brilliant move.  The Biden administration can use any win it can get right now. They’ll probably make a big deal of announcing they saved Christmas or something. 
    Apple is a real bully. Apple + Masimo met for partnership/acquisition talks but Apple had a secret plan (Project Everest) to steal the tech without paying. They even recruited 20 of Masimo’s team, doubling their salaries…. Apple paid their CTO $4M to come over, and in his 1st 2 weeks he filed 12 patents for sensors at Apple that were Masimo trade secrets… the worst part is that Apple fumbled the ball and the product doesn’t really work and Apple didn’t get FDA approval like Masimo did.

    Joe Kiani, the immigrant electrical engineer CEO of Masimo seems to be fighting this as a vendetta - he’s spent >$60M fighting Apple so far & preliminarily seems to have won… most companies would not keep fighting.
    I see you have posted this exact post on at least two threads, do you have a vested interest at all?

    Or do you have some way of proving what you’ve said?

    Even if relevant, there is every possibility that the Masimo CEO saw dollar signs at Apple being interested and was trying to be too greedy.. without being a part of what happened there is no way we can ever truly know.

    One thing is for certain there are many smaller companies that try to ride the tails of successful ones to make their own business work.  Big successful companies are not automatically the bully in every case.
