  • Coming to a theater near you - Blackberry: The Motion Picture

    For 2022 is effectively the end of the story, as BlackBerry removed the ability for its old phones to even make calls in January. 

    I’m sorry, what? Blackberry won’t even function as a basic cellphone? That’s mental. Hell, even a phone from 1990 should still be able to make calls. That’s literally the basic functionality of a cellphone.

    Seems like a good thing BlackBerry failed.

  • Zoom installer flaw can give attackers root access to your Mac

    Zoom is like Teams a cancerous program with no redeeming value.
    Completely disagree. Used it extensively for the past two years. When it came out there was nothing like it on the market. We’re using it with over 100 connections. It has plenty of redeeming value. Maybe not for you but news flash, you’re not everyone.

  • RCS is still half-baked, and Apple has no reason to adopt it

    This is pretty pathetic saying that iPhone users are bullying Android users because their text shows up as green bubbles.

    What a load of cobblers. The reality is that it shows up green because it is an MMS or SMS text. This will be the same for anyone using Android or a Nokia 918 or whatever.

    In fact, if an iPhone user only uses iMessages with SMS then they would show up as a green bubble as well. Hardly a claim of bullying.

  • 'Ted Lasso' cast in 'mourning' as filming for third season wraps up

    Actually, if you watch the show you’ll see exactly what’s going to happen.

    The first season ended with a close loss. The second season ended in a draw. Logically the third season will end in a victory especially because it will be a showdown between Ted’s team and the ex-owner of Ted’s team.

    As such it makes sense that the series was only ever going to be three seasons long.

  • Apple unveils macOS Ventura with Stage Manager, plus using an iPhone as a webcam

    I was mostly surprised about the lack of commitment to gaming, which was limited to Metal 3 and some Game Center improvements.

    Apple has great hardware now, but where are their plans to bring more gamers on board?


    Apple is t the problem. Apple is giving game developers great tools to make great games on the Mac. Game developers are lazy tools who don’t care about platforms that won’t bring them money.

    The Mac will bring in the money but most game developers are lazy tools that don’t want to do the hard yards. Most Mac games are just Windows games lazily wrapped in Cider to make them work on Macs with minimal effort. They’re not Mac ports because they’re actually using a Linux system.

    That's why Resident Evil is so important. Once gamers see what Metal is capable of then we’ll see more actual Mac games come to market and not just lazy Windows wrappings.
