  • Everyone is a loser in the Apple Intelligence race

    Did you mean to write “Everyone is a loser in the artificial intelligence race”? (Not “Apple Intelligence race”.)

    Side loading is moronic and stupid, and only an idiot would suggest it. I feel sorry that some idiot is attempting to “require” it. 
    Anybody remember when “side loading” was simply called… you know… “loading”? :D

    Before centralized app stores owned by the OS makers was a thing, downloading an application from wherever was simply what everybody did. It is what you can still do on MacOS (and typically we don’t start calling people “idiots” for doing that).

    Also, be nice. Calling everybody an idiot doesn’t make you cool. You can disagree while still being nice. You don’t have to. Nobody can force you. Do whatever you want. But… it would be nice to be nice.

  • Justice Department demands Google sell off Chrome in new filing

    SuntanIronManSuntanIronMan
    Interesting to see who would “buy” Chrome, for how much, and why. Not like it’s very good as a direct source of revenue. 
    As an example, you can look at Opera’s (the company) earnings reports to see how Opera (the browser) makes money for the company. But basically: Search, advertising, technology licensing.

    Apple isn't the only company that accepts payment from Google to make Chrome the default search engine

    You beat me to it!

    In case article author Charles Martin is wondering why people are specifically quoting that single sentence of yours, it’s because you wrote “Chrome” instead of “Google”. Easy mistake to make.

  • Indonesia starts to lift iPhone 16 ban, but hurdles remain

    Apple should've just started shutting down Apple Stores in Indonesia, and giving the impression of pulling out of Indonesia completely (while announcing to increase investments in surrounding countries), and I'd bet that Indonesia would have suddenly found it in their heart to permit iPhone 16 sales. ;-)

    China tried the same "we can't approve sales" trick with the iPhone 4 (if I recall correctly), and relented after Steve Jobs embarassed them by continually listing how many of those iPhones were operating in China, despite not being on sale ;-)

    Indonesia is just being greedy, and they need to face the reality of losing it all....
    Shut down Apple Stores in Indonesia? How many Apple Stores do you think are in Indonesia? I won’t keep you in suspense. It’s zero. There are no Apple Stores in Indonesia.

    Losing it all? Lose what? The iPhone 16 is already banned (currently). Indonesia already did that. Is Apple going to say “If you won’t let us sell you the iPhone 16, then we’re… not going to… sell you…the iPhone 16… oh… never mind.”
