  • Apple's new iPad Pro ad says users can avoid printing in public

    ddawson100ddawson100
    Timeline for this whole series:
    3-4 seconds presents problem/unfounded myth via Twitter for some reason
    5-6 seconds omniscient calm guy states that the iPad is the solution/bust myth
    5 seconds of humor

    Those last 5 seconds are invariably grating ("Word? Word. Word. Yeah, Word. Wweeeeerrrrrd.") and I wish they all ended at 9-10 seconds. But never mind me, just bring on the new iPads!

    edit: add line breaks

  • Swift-based ransomware targets macOS pirates with false decryption promise

    No mention of Time Machine rollback here. Deleting original files or encrypting them isn't a problem if you can just restore, right? (So IF you've set it up in the first place and there's really no reason to NOT do that.)

    I agree. If they could expand on this, maybe lengthen the article or broaden the scope, that would help me widen my understanding.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook sells another $3.6M in company stock

    ddawson100ddawson100
    Why do you think he's selling now? He's selling because he knows Apple's share price is going to tank upon earnings. For a CEO, he has little confidence in his company. He's not setting a very good example for 'fellow' shareholders. He could easily wait a bit longer before dumping. It will probably lead to more selling off of Apple stock by example. It's really disappointing how Apple's share price is going to drop while the rest of the major tech companies stocks are going to soar upon earnings. I'm willing to bet Alphabet's stock gets to $1000 in a matter of weeks. I honestly don't know why Tim Cook isn't able to satisfy Wall Street even a little bit when other companies make it look so easy.
    So many assumptions in this comment... Troll or just that uninformed?

    But Apple customers don't give 2 sheets about privacy.

    90-95% of iOS users either are on Facebook or use Google services. That is a FACT.

    Yet Apple sacrifices literally TENS of BILLIONS of dollars because of their ridiculous stance on privacy.

    IMO, I'd rather have Apple be the custodian of my information than Google/Facebook. I want Apple to start their versions of Facebook/Google so they can rake in BILLIONS and also keep that data away from Google/FB.

    Bottom line is people will be using social media and sites that require data collection. With or without Apple. So it makes ZERO sense for Apple to be stubborn and not participate. 

    Cook is actually hurting iOS customers because he is forcing them to use Google/FB instead of an Apple run equilvelent.

    Cook is stuck with 1995 thinking. Data collecting is not evil. Adversting is not evil. As long as the data is kept safe and anonymous its fine. People are willing to sacrifice some privacy for awesome services that make their life more productive and enjoyable. Its time for Apple to wake up and stop their extreme privacy stance.
    This is speculation whether you put "FACT" in caps or not. How do you know 90-95% are on either service? Speaking personally, I wouldn't doubt it's the vast majority but to say it's fact with a broad claim doesn't help your case. Nor do any of the other claims - 10s of billions, social media that *require* data collection, hurting iOS customers??

    Cook claims that they won't be involved with the process of collecting this type of data, that when it's a free service YOU are the product. Apple's values lie in a different direction. It's tilting after windmills to insist that they make a change. Your "facts" and argument don't make sense.
