  • First look: Mac Pro and Apple Pro Display XDR [u]

    When?  When can we order and when does it ship?   Article would be much improved if it answered those kinda basic questions - even if it said “not yet available to order, and no shipping date yet from the company”.

  • Apple facing class action lawsuit over alleged iTunes & Apple Music data sale

    My guess is that some apps that users have allowed access to their iTunes libraries and have signed up for an account that includes full name and email has been cross referenced with publicly available information.  
    Spot on. The marketing list available is ‘Apple AND Pandora users’ not ‘Apple or Pandora users’. Looks like Pandora have been harvesting data to make a buck. And if that’s the case, bye bye Pandora.

  • WhatsApp vulnerability left iOS open to spyware attack

    how? Reall, how?  How can WhatsApp install a program?  That’s a breach of the App Store rules. Fine they’ve patched it - but this sounds like a feature the developers wrote so they could add a ‘WhatsApp downloadable featurss’ type thing in future and didn’t disable it.  Apple needs to be able to do a better job of finding apps that break the rules like this and apply some decent penealties when they are found out.

  • How to make the Apple Watch Raise to Speak feature work every time

    Hold on...

    that’s what I get when I try and get Siri working on my AWS4 cellular almost every time. 

    Different Wifi, or cell.  Always the same result. If I reboot it usually works first time. 5 minutes later: hold on...

    i’ll tap you when I’m ready 

    Hold on...

    hold on...

  • Apple scraps plans for first Australian 'global flagship' store

    If Apple really wanted to build a flagship store in Melbourne, they should have proposed building it in Sydney.  Melbourne pollies clear all manner of legal obsticles and throw cash at anything just to move it from Sydney to Melbourne.
