  • Apple launching program to store content closer to consumers

    apple really should dog food this idea and use it in apple stores.

    nothing worse than having to restore an iphone in an apple store. it is so slow due to the over taxed bandwidth. worse than even doing it over cellular.

    at least in the australian stores.

    On the face of it this dude seems a bit amoralistic, setting up a business to directly compete with the company that was currently paying his wage. It is one thing to leave a company and then start a company. Doing it before hand and whiteanting your employer with fellow employees is pretty poor form.
    i guess we will know the true story once this suit has played out.
    I worked at McDonals once so I guess I can never open a burger joint? 
    maybe, if you learn to read.

    seriously

  • Sonnet debuts SF3 Series Pro Dual-Slot Thunderbolt 3 Card Reader

    goes to website link - there are 3 models, one deals with RED cards, the other with cards for Sony and Arri cameras.

    worth mentioning.

    i also personally think the thing is huge for what it does.

    The Google Boys had one profitable idea: search. All of their other ideas generated $172 million in quarterly revenue at a cost of $2+ billion. If Google were unable to track the online activity of ordinary citizens and sell ads using their personal data, that one idea may not be profitable, either.

    Which is why Apple should have killed them with iAd.
    that was never possible. Apple would never have approved all the spam, malware, scams, hate, violence, child grooming, porn and use of morally questionable keyword linking required to have taken Google’s biggest customers from them.
    LOL.... Hate much? Such weird claims. 

    Welcome to the internet. Google didn't design it, Apple can't control it, and Microsoft cannot hold the door key. We are the problem not some faceless company. Look in the mirror instead. Dealing with hate and morally questionable practices begins with you and yours. 
    um, don’t follow news much? haven’t paid attention to the adsense ads you have been served for the last 20yrs?

    elsagate was the most recent, where google claimed they had no idea what the most popular videos were for children or that they were pornographic, violent and psychopathic posted by unknown people while they claimed massive ad revenue?

    i agree it is the users, they laud google and watch all the shitty content that makes it top rating and get ads.

    that said google did nothing for over a decade while raking in the cash from ads attached to bad keywords, foul content and accepted ads from scammers.

    just stating facts man.
