  • Man ludicrously blames Apple for his wife catching him communicating with prostitutes

    Reminds me of this story about the guy whose wife divorced him on September 12,2001 - the day after 9/11.
    The guy worked in the North Tower of the WTC. 

    She called him on the morning of 9/11 after the first plane hit the North Tower asking frantically, 'where are you? are you ok?' 
    He replied, 'where else? the office. why wouldn't I be ok?' 

    The next day he was served with divorce papers after the missus found it he was uptown in a hotel room committing hanky-panky.

  • Siri for iOS 18 to gain massive AI upgrade via Apple's Ajax LLM

    Spotlight search. Hope that this upgrade provides some useful search. As Spotlight search currently stands you will be lucky, very lucky, to find anything of any use on the Mac. 
    The Mac is a great machine and so is the iPhone. But search on the Mac and on the iPhone is about as terrible as it gets. 
    Any time I am stuck with having to look for a file or document I reach for an anti migraine tablet. I know I am going to get a massive headache at all the useless junk that is thrown at me which has nothing to do with the search criteria that I entered.  >:)

  • Google paid Apple $20 Billion to be default search engine in 2022

    Yup. They sure did. And then they sacked a bunch of high-level employees to payoff some of the tab. In addition to which a mate of mine tells me that the meals in the cafeteria are no longer fully subsidised. 

    Google, has and always will be a one-trick pony. A very wealthy pony but that's it. If this whole AI thing comes of age someone else - not the makers of MS-DOS - will usurp Google in search and that will be it. 

    Without Search there is nothing else that they offer. Look at their website, every project they have ever attempted has gone to the elephant graveyard. I kid you not there's a website that lists some twenty products that they have RIP'ed. 

    Yes, they have Google Maps - which I use all the time, I don't trust Apple Maps - but that's not a money maker. They also have Google Docs - a mere blimp on their financial statement. And oh yes, YouTube. Does that make money?  

    Apple needs to absorb Google Search; Netflix and Spotify and it will become a 5 trillion company. Forget the Apple Jalopy and this Vision Pro madness. Google Search, Netflix and Spotify make money and they will make heaps more if Tim & Team manages them.

  • The Worst of WWDC - Apple's biggest missteps on the way to success

    I often wonder when I see a pic of Cook. He is either looking like he is seated on the porcelain bowl leaning forward or standing up holding his hands like he is thanking the good lord. The former is when he is meant to reflect that he is stunned and the latter when the quarterly report is spectacular and pleased with the results.  :D
