'Total War: Pharaoh' transports gamers to the Bronze Age on macOS
? wtf ?22july2013 said:Based on a quick web search, the Hittite empire appears to be the current territory of Turkey+Syria+Lebanon, while Canaan was the current territory of Israel+Lebanon. I hope there are no Hittites or Canaanites here who are offended by this approximation.

Apple could be out $20 billion a year if Google loses DOJ antitrust case
If the options were that important then Google wouldn't be paying Apple $20bn for the default position.9secondkox2 said:So stupid. There is no antitrust when you have options. Apple provides them in settings.

Valve kills CS:GO on macOS, won't launch Mac Counter-Strike 2 either
Really? Where have they proven that?Macs have proven that a 100% native version of a game outperforms a better specced PC. version and Metal 3 makes that even more the case.

Heavy Apple Vision Pro leads Apple to lighten future headsets
That kind of data pumping through TB as well as power would generate serious heat. It's probably easy to dissipate it when distances are small and you have a unit with a lot of surface area, less so when there;'s a metre long cable involved and a combined processing unit and battery in your back pocket. Burnt bum!

Europe asks if Digital Markets Act should apply to iMessage
So they haven't moved a goalpost then, they're just investigating things.foregoneconclusion said:
The goalpost regarding what size of business should be considered a "gatekeeper". iMessage isn't big enough to qualify. So now the EU is entertaining the idea that messaging is somehow different from other digital markets and should have a different set of rules.Honkers said:
What goalpost has moved?foregoneconclusion said:
The EU is already moving the goalposts on the "gatekeeper" thing.AppleInsider said: After arguing iMessage wasn't big enough to count as a gatekeeper service in the EU, Apple managed to get its messaging app removed from compliance with the DMA in September. However, it seems that the European Commission is keen to determine whether those rules should apply at all.
The EU never said that iMessage wouldn't ever be subject to the regulation, they just removed it from the initial gatekeeper list pending investigation.
Goal post is hardly an appropriate term anywhere. It's not as if Apple were deliberately keeping their user numbers low to hit the goal. They want more users.
