  • 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. 
    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.

  • J.D. Vance shouldn't open his mouth about Apple if he doesn't have a clue

    It's a sad reflection on the fear-mongering negativity one side is using. Personally, I'm a huge fan of lifting us all up instead.

    Above all: Don't believe whatever comes out of the mouth of a selfishly-guided politician just because he said it. Most are all too happy to promote half-truths, mostly lie, or outright lie in order to "win". I'm sorry, but it is no win for us to be misled, and only find out what we were buying after he's already in office; telling us what we can and can't do without being asked again. They don't care if we agreed. They will be the ones in the power chair and will tell us, dictator style, not ask. 
    Agreed.  Yep, he should focus on aliens eating cats and dogs and Governors executing live babies; you know, real news that's fact-checked. /s
    And a few minutes ago, I believe Mr. Trump announced he will do no more debates, not even in the friendly confines of Fox News with Fox moderators. Probably for the best. 
    Thanks for the update; I missed that.
    In his Arizona rally about to take place, I'm waiting for him to say his announcement took courage.
    In the Linda Ronstadt arena, and she is furious!

  • macOS Sequoia beta review: yet again small but welcome changes

    Nothing to mention regarding under-the-hood, performance, bugs, etc. updates?
    With minimal "improvements" to this release versus Sonoma, maybe time well spent against the aforementioned would have been appropriate.
    I'm running beta Sequios on my M2 Studio Ultra by dual booting between that and Sonoma, and honestly, I don't notice any speed difference between the beta Sequoia and Sonoma. I have not found any bugs yet, either, and all my software works fine.

    I would be willing to pay for the OS if they'd just fix the bugs in Finder that send me back to the root-level every time I delete an item in column-view, or provide auto-resizing of columns in column-view, or allow me to hide all unwanted fonts in font-menus.

    No new features please, just fix the bloody bugs.
    How are you deleting? It works for me; I use a right-click, 'send to Trash.'

    Resizing columns:  

    As to fonts in macOS check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RAbcPtcSJQ

    Hope this helps.

  • Google is finally adding a speedometer to Google Maps on iPhone

    Off topic a wee bit... but it would be neat if my car's adaptive cruise control could auto adjust to the speed limit when asked.  There are roads across central Florida where the posted speed changes every hundred yards and the area is famous for speed traps!
