Apple's 'Crush' iPad Pro ad sparks intense backlash from creatives
The only people who like this ad are those who are part of the spiritual ilk of the "Transhumanists." Cold, heartless people who can't wait to become machines themselves. You can feel Apple jumped the shark with this ad. It turned me off from buying the new iPad (which I was prepared to do). I think I'll use the money instead to buy one of those analog items the machine so heartlessly crushed. -
MacBook Pro plant workers riot over China COVID lockdown
It’s amazing how ignorant people are about what is happening in the world. The “zero-covid” policy is a measure by China to enact economic sanctions by hiding behind a “health crisis”. They can control worldwide exports of products and cause economic catastrophe in other countries as they see fit by blaming the “virus”. Omicron variant is not severe so this reaction is absurd. We are 2 years into a ten year plan, fasten your seatbelts. -

What you need to know: Apple's iCloud Photos and Messages child safety initiatives
Even though their “heart” may be in the right place, the idea of being able to monitor customers files is disturbing. Now that Apple has a film studio, do we really want them snooping through the screenplays we are writing on Final Draft program and stealing our ideas? Every time a company gets too large, it becomes authoritarian. Now it’s Tim Cook’s face on the huge screen that the girl with the sledgehammer will smash in the next “1984” commercial. It’s the same old story again and again in life. Power corrupts.
