  • EU's dominant music service wants Apple to be penalized for dominance


    As the headline says, if Spotify is the dominant provider in the EU so it can hardly complain about Apple Music dominance.

    We all have a choice which service we use so there’s no need for any external pressure.   If you want to build your company provide a reason why customers should buy from you.

    It’s just nonsense and noise and just another attempt by companies to blame Apple for their incompetence.
    The US has similar rules about harm, regardless of how much profit is made "anyway".  Trump was found liable for financial fraud in NY state, even though they paid back the loans they'd obtained and even though the banks made money from the interest on those loans.  The banks still suffered damages because fraud was still committed.  So don't blame the EU for something "extraordinary" or Spotify for pointing fingers.

  • Apple Maps still calls it the Gulf of Mexico, and politicians are upset

    I find it all very entertaining.  
    One lot of yanks are currently overloaded with euphoria at the thought of a wrecking ball tearing the establishment down, the other lot are crying in their cups.

    and why not call it the Gulf of America? It isn’t as though the left aren’t busy changing place names all the time.
    What did Gulf of Mexico do to hurt Americans? 
    It's just more racism from the GOP.  It's part of something with a name of a op full of brown people that's touching America that Trump can use to rally the racist base to hate on.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook attending Trump inauguration after $1 million donation

    Smart move on Tim's part, I don't want Apple to get shafted by new tariff policies. Or maybe he's happy that Trump is getting rid of the bird and whale killing windmills, or maybe he wants and invitation to Mar a Lago to see another live performance of YMCA by the Village People.
    Greed and casual homophobia.  What an efficient post.

  • How to switch modes in macOS Sequoia's Calculator app

    Is there a way to just make the thing BIGGER. 
    On my 27” 4K screen it looks like a postage stamp.

    Luckily I can move it to my MacBook Pro’s screen, but that’s doesn’t solve the problem of Apple’s inability to include a method to scale UI elements for higher resolution screens.

    If you're a serious calculator user, look into PCalc.  It scales properly, and does everything better than the built-in calculator.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook personally invested $1 million in Trump's inauguration

    If I were still at Apple, I’d be looking for a different job.  No way I’d feel comfortable or even safe (depending on who my bosses were) at Apple as LGBTQ employee now.
