    Or... Apple finds a way to make the same quality at a lower cost.

    After 25 years I finally downloaded my Mac Zip drives to my new iMac. I have some additional disks I think are MSDOS disks but can’t seem to read them.
    Use a VM such as VMware (free) to install Windows of some flavor, and you should be able to access MSDOS files.

    I had to read this just because of the Zip disk drive picture. I probably have 3 Zip disks lurking somewhere, but no drive!
    I have one and a ton a Zip disks from back on the day, and it still works with my M2 Mac Studio Ultra.  Impressive or what!

  • Europe demands Apple open up iOS for better accessory compatibility

    Verstager is total moron. There is ZERO chance of Apple ever releasing its propriety OS for either the iPhone or iPad to 3rd party vendors. 

    I would agree, but that's not what's being asked of them. As I'm reading it, Apple/Google will have to allow 3rd party vendors to call on/use/access the hardware on an iPhone or Android phone, to facilitate connections.  This is not about installing iOS on some third-party product. 
    Finally someone who actually read the article and doesn’t respond with the default American “EU sucks! I love Apple like my mommy” reaction.

    What the EU is asking is not to turn iOS into Linux.

    What is happening right now will eventually happen in the US as well; allowing third party stores, allowing users to truly choose between vendors of services (e.g same access to APIs by iCloud, Dropbox, etc). It’s to allow for competition.

    Don’t forget: Apple doesn’t operate in the market. They ARE the market now.
    Agreed.  Unfortunately, knee-jerk reaction comments, often to deliberately misleading clickbait headlines, are the norm. In this case, though, the headline seemed pretty clear. Case in point: I read hundreds of comments regarding the exploding pagers that assumed the batteries were simply overloaded and feared for their own devices. People don't seem to think too hard these days.

    I think you are correct from what little I know about this. If Apple creates APIs that it has total control over, then there is a chance Apple would allow some greater access, hopefully only after scrutinizing the use cases very carefully and retaining the option to close that door if abused, even for a nanosecond.
