  • Tap to Pay on iPhone, Apple Watch arrives in New Zealand

    Is this like person to person payments? We've had Apple Pay for years but only about 3 banks support it. Any card issued by Westpac which includes Co-Operative Bank doesn't support it which sucks. The cards themselves are Paywave cards so there's no technical limitations it's because Westpac are dicks who held out because they had a bee in their bonnet about Apple not opening up their RFID system.

  • Apple shifts to internal advertising sales for Apple News

    I'm still waiting on Apple News to come to New Zealand. But we've just got Visual Voicemail so maybe there's hope. However, given that the news media in NZ is in a state of disrepair we NEED Apple News now more than ever because Stuff, NZ Herald, and even TVNZ all seem to be on shakey ground.

  • Valve kills CS:GO on macOS, won't launch Mac Counter-Strike 2 either

    Yes, but only because the macOS gaming market potential is 0.
    What a bunch of crap.

    There is a market but lazy as developers refuse to develop for it because they think they won’t make money.

    Macs have proven that a 100% native version of a game outperforms a better specced PC. version and Metal 3 makes that even more the case. But developers still insist of cider wrapped ports of their games rather than getting off their lazy butts and having a team specifically for Metal development.

    There is a HUGE market for Mac gaming but no one chooses to fill it.
