  • Apple's App Store generated 80% more revenue than Google Play with a third as many install...

    Sad how Google can just steal Apples hard work and rake in $14B a year. Wow.


    Man you really need to get a life.
    Sounds about right! It shows in the numbers.

  • Apple's iOS developer fees and charges again targeted by class action suit

    These are by far the stupidest cases. If they want to develop for Sony Play Station they can pay $70,000 and 70%. They have options

  • Editorial: Apple is neither doomed nor saved now that Jony Ive has moved on

    Cook really dropped the ball not having a succession plan in place.  It’s nuts having this group now report to Williams.  Nuts.  Ive was there for 25 years and your telling us he did not groom a successor for arguably the most important function within Apple?   This is a breakdown in corporate responsibility 

    Almost as bad as having the head of HR run Retail 

    Ive has evidently been checked out for years.  Why did Cook not get better ahead of this? 
    Not really. According to another interview, Ives has be working in his private design studio for 3 years now and at that point not been involved in the day to day. The transition has already occurred and has been well tested.

  • Samsung exec says Galaxy Fold finally 'ready to hit the market'

    Prediction: there's no f-ing way they magically re-engineered this thing within a couple months. It's still crap, it's still a broken design that they can't make work in the real world, and it will fail hilariously.
    I don't discount that Samsung obtained useful information from the failure; that's a part of the development process, but the fact that the failures occurred so quickly after the release of the initial evaluation units,  defines "rush to market".
    These were not evaluation units! They were review units which are production units. They started taking orders and set a release date. Evaluation units are to refine a product still in development. This was released, just only shipped to the media ahead of shipping to the public. Keep in mind there are embargoes on reviews until the device is officially released. They were ramping up the promotion engine and expecting to prime it with great reviews. Didn’t work out.

    So Apple gets a media storm, memes, countless hate videos for less than 1% bent iPhones while Samsung gets away with 100% defected bent phones that break?

    No. In a word.

    Samsung didn't ship any and 100% didn't break. Also, if they are near ready to launch it is probably that the fixes were minor. Probably important but minor.

    We'll now have to wait for the new official date.

    Still a PR disaster but the phone itself might not be as much of a hardware failure as some thought. When it reaches users, we'll know soon enough.
    They presold them and AT&T just refunded their customers this week. If the break wasn’t so immediate and found by the media reviewing them they were shipping them right to them. The fall out for Apple would have been disastrous without a doubt. Every news station would have been reminding you about it daily and Samsung would have commercials out poking fun by now.
