  • Eddy Cue repeatedly visited Washington Post, New York Times in failed Apple News+ bid

    Apples News+ is a bargain. I was paying $8.95/mo for the La Times. Now for $9.95 a month I get a huge selection including the LA Times. It's a no brainer.

  • Some macOS Mojave 10.14.4 users having problems with Gmail & G Suite authentication in App...

    It seems to affect all Gsuite users.  The workarounds involve deleting the account from Mail and adding back in as a regular IMAP account. This requires using an app token to generate a unique password if you use TFA or allowing “insecure” apps to access your account. Of course you lose calendar and contact integrations.
    I’m sorry but this is sort of unbelievable that Apple let this happen.

  • Apple promises 1,200 new tech jobs in San Diego by 2022

    I hope Apple plans on paying their people exorbitantly as San Diego is an incredibly expensive place to live!  Someplace like Reno or Las Vegas would make it much easier for their employees to be able to afford to buy a house and escape California taxes.
    San Diego is much cheaper than the Bay Area. And a much better quality of life than Reno or Vegas. So it's a happy medium.

  • Apple & Google accused of supporting 'gender apartheid' by hosting Saudi woman-tracking ap...

    I am not sure how many people read the story of the Saudi woman who recently 'escaped' to Canada and got political asylum. The only way she was able to do this (after getting her passport by 'stealing' it from her father) was by getting into this app on her father's iPhone ( she obviously had the password) and changing the notification emails/texts to her own email/phone number. This meant that when she left the country she was able to deal with the text alert when her passport was scanned. Saudi Arabia is the worlds largest women's prison.

  • Apple's guidance correction in China would be great news from Samsung

    I think the points made are pretty relevant. In the Chinese market Apple has been hit by Trump's trade war and a softening demand for high end phones in general. Yet , and clearly stated by Cook (he can't lie, it's a public statement),  Apple has been hitting record revenues in many other markets including the US. The analysts are whipping up anti-Apple hysteria to drive the stock down so they can make a killing by short-selling or other means when sanity returns and the stock bounces back.
