  • M3 15-inch MacBook Air vs M3 14-inch MacBook Pro -- Ultimate buyer's guide

    "Apple has still not yet added Face ID to its notebooks, despite incorporating a notch into the design."

    There's been a simple technical answer for this as long as there's been a notch and yet this still shows up in reviews here.

    I don't need another monthly bill. I'm happy to pay a fair price, but I'm not paying for eternity.
    And how do you pay a fair price if there’s no mechanism OTHER than subscription for charging for upgrades?

    Gil Amelio actually saved Apple! 

    He recognised that he was a good manager, but knew little about Apple or it's business. He hired an outsider - Ellen Hancock - who did know computer systems, who correctly reported that Apple's current OS strategy, Copland, was a failure. Gil then immediately went out to purchase for Apple an off-the-shelf OS, which could be "Apple-ised", and it was he who discovered that the favourite option - BeOS - was half finished; Gil recommended Apple purchase the NextStep OS. If Apple had gone on with Copland/Gershwin, there would literally be no Apple today, so thanks Gil.

    My vote - Steve Wozniak!

    That's not how it went.   And Woz isn't a business guy at all.

  • Jon Stewart became a problem for Apple TV+

    Perhaps the show didn’t meet its viewing targets?
     It isn’t as though Stewart would admit that, and Apple will say nothing. It is most likely the wrong kind of platform for such a show. At least at this time.

    He probably would. And then blame himself in a way that made him even more appealing to his demographic. That’s his thing. 

    But MAYBE..ans I know this might seem crazy, but maybe…Apple has a conflict of interest with controversy itself now.  If it can’t sell something as human rights in a high minded, black and white print ad kind of way so that it can’t be rebutted point by point, it can’t afford to attach its name to it.  

    Ironic that Apple’s ended up so beige.

  • Despite what Apple says, most of its workers still fear backlash over unionization efforts...

    I am not at all surprised.  Apple Corporate are control freaks and the corporation is self-preserving to an obsessive level.
