  • Apple's next-generation 'CarPlay Ultra' is finally here

    tiredskillstiredskills
    I can't see how Apple's strategy here is going to stand any significant chance against Android Auto, which has a big head start, more flexibility, and doesn't have any issue with the car owner having the other type of phone.  The Apple UI is nice, but doesn't add much.

  • After everything, Epic Games submits new 'Fortnite' to US App Store review

    I fail to see why Apple is obligated to host this app just because of this ruling.
    They aren't, but they still should. Apple needs to realise that a good relationship with developers makes their products better for their customers.  Lots of their customers want to play Fortnite.  Being petty and contrarian got them into this mess, they need to start being grown up about their platform administration.

  • Apple's 2025 Pride Collection features a unique Apple Watch Sport Band

    Why anyone would choose an analogue-style watch face on a digital watch is beyond me.  Other than that, a really nice combo.

  • Warren Buffett never made anything but money -- and friends with Apple

    "He was very clear to me, he said 'let me just cut through it, if you believe that your stock is undervalued, you should buy your stock,'" Cook said, recounting the call. "I thought that was just the simplest way to look at it."
    Smart guy.  Too many financially illiterate people say stock buybacks are a clandestine way to inflate the stock.  They aren't really, and certainly not in the longer term.  They're a way to capitalise on under-appreciated company value to the benefit (mainly) of long term shareholders.  When applied appropriately they're an excellent way to return value by cutting out some of the day trading.

    I think it's time for the gloves to come off. honestly... this is a disgrace. How long are you guys across the pond (westwards, to be clear) watching this disaster unfolding?

    Yes the US are very important for the whole world's economy, but there's limits to everything. We should stop this appeasing and just call out things what they are. The US government decided that diplomacy is no longer "in", so the rest of the world should not be trying to uphold principles towards the US that are not reciprocated. 
    “Time for the gloves to come off”.    LoL.  The EU has no technology.    Zero. Nothing.   That is why it spends all its time with bureaucracy  and trying to fine everyone 

    Go ahead and “take your gloves off”  LoL 
    Technology isn't everything.

    There is an EU document out there from the pandemic period analysing strategic dependencies between the EU and other countries/trading blocs.

    The US was dependent on the EU for over 260 products. 

    The EU was dependent on the US for 15.

    Areas where the EU was ahead included Advanced manufacturing, IoT, security, advanced materials, photonics and active ingredients for the pharmaceutical industry. 

    Most of that happens to involve 'technology'. 

    “An EU document out there”.   LoL 

    The EU is a leader in NONE of those examples you give.   NONE.    You really think the EU leads the US in advanced materials?    What are you smoking.   I’m surprised you did not list Spotify as your leading tech company 
    Which US company is ahead of ASML?
