  • Apple TV+, now one year old, looks poised for growth

    Many of the Apple shows suck. That’s a problem.

  • China ready to retaliate against Apple after U.S. moves to ban chip shipments to Huawei

    Hey, how is that new Huawei operating system doing?  That is right - it’s a total zero 

    Wait for the US to pull all Android inc “open source” out of China.  Then the real fun will begin 

    China does not realize the hole its dug for itself.  Who in their right mind will ever build another factory there? 




    HarmonyOS 1.0 shipped last year on TVs. The kernel was on Huawei watches last year too. It is also running on some routers.

    HarmonyOS 2.0 was just released - on schedule. 

    It will interface with the Huawei Hi-Car module due to ship on 118 car models starting this June. 

    Parts of it are also tucked away in EMUI. 

    If rumours are your thing:

    https://www.gizchina.com/2020/05/02/huawei-to-replace-windows-10-with-harmonyos-2-0-in-its-pcs/

    The U.S cannot pull the 'Open Source' out of China (at least realistically). Huawei is an international company with non-Chinese companies all over the place. 

    For example, my data (and everyone else's in the EU) is managed by Aspiegel. An Irish company (owned by Huawei). 

    FWIW, In theory at least, HarmonyOS itself should go fully Open Source by August this year. 


    Of course Android open source can be pulled from Chinese mfg.   At best, it will be forked and China will be on its own having to learn to develop and support a large scale OS which it has never done before.   The market for that Chinese OS outside of China would be about "0".    Do you really think India would ever allow it? 

    And, how is the Huawei app ecosystem coming along?      How are they doing replicating all the Google apps and services that come with 'standard' Android?    Why have they not brought this OS to their cellphones? 


    Are you one of those people that’s never left their little village? You do realize the the Chinese can build anything we can. In fact, they can build it better, cheaper and faster. They build an entire Manhattan every year while we’re still working around the World Trade Center 19 years after 9/11. The Chinese are laughing at our sorry asses. They are now the best builders in the world. They export their building expertise while we can’t even build simple fast rails. So, no they Don’t need us. They have more engineers of all kinds than anyone in the world. So, the only thing stupid Trump did is expedite China’s timeline to overtake Silicon Valley. They are now invested in releasing a competing OS that will overtake Android in the world. Just give them a few years. Right now, they have their own ecosystem such as WeChat that’s entirely homegrown. Your kids are crazy about TikTok which is also Chinese built. So, yea keep thinking like the ignorant Trump.
    Oh, boy. The Fifty Cent Army is really out in force today. Today’s China is in the position they’re in due to long history of IP theft. They outright ape and steal every successful brand in the world and flood markets with shabby knockoffs.
    No, just an Asian American who has spent most of his life listening to the racists talk nonsense.

    Every nation has done the same. When China was the most powerful nation in the world it was your ancestors who stole from China. The compass, gunpowder, silk, pizza, noodles, and millions of other IP of their day were ripped off wholesale. Again google it. I don't hear you complaining about that?!

    Consider this payback.

  • AirPods versus AirPods Pro -- Apple's wireless earbuds compared

    One huge problem with in ear designs is that the seal causes mechanical transference of sound. Walking barefoot, your heal strikes, for example, can be heard. Or even heavy breathing. I hope Apple was able to solve this problem. From their technical specs it looks like they did. I’ll have to try it out to see how well.

  • iPhone exploits in hacked websites went unnoticed for years

    Obvious Question: Which websites?
    Various implant commands enable the attackers to steal the container directories of third-party apps. The implant contains a hardcoded list of apps which will always have their container directories uploaded when the implant starts up. Here’s the pre-populated list of bundle identifiers for third-party apps, which will always have their container directories uploaded if the apps are installed:
    com.yahoo.Aerogram
    com.microsoft.Office.Outlook
    com.netease.mailmaster
    com.rebelvox.voxer-lite
    com.viber
    com.google.Gmail
    ph.telegra.Telegraph
    com.tencent.qqmail
    com.atebits.Tweetie2
    net.whatsapp.WhatsApp
    com.skype.skype
    com.facebook.Facebook

    com.tencent.xin

    ….

    Those are not the websites that are hosting the exploit. Those are the list of containers that your iPhone uses to hold the respective apps that you have on your phone. The scary part is that after you’ve been infected, the bad agents can get a refreshed list of apps that’s installed on your phone so that they can update this container list and steal any other information contained in those apps as well.

  • Apple quietly pulls 12-inch MacBook from sale

    Once again Cook shows that he doesn't know anything about product. Steve would have had this portable lineup:

    MacBook 12"
    MacBook Pro 13" Touch bar
    MacBook 14"
    MacBook Pro 15" Touch bar

    It means there's a flavor for everyone from 12" all the way up to 15". NO 16"!!!
