I don't add "in my opinion" to everything I say because everything I say is my opinion.  I'm not wasting keystrokes on clarifying to pedants what they should already be able to discern.

    The beauty of these regulations is that
    they make future innovations like Magsav (like those on Macs, a wired connector)
    illegal.
    No they don't.

    Did M1 not get a price drop?
    Why would it?

    Are you not aware of component cost increases, supply chain issues, and general inflation?

    One dollar in June 2022 is worth less than the same dollar in October 2020.

    And Apple still needs to put the damn thing on an airplane to get it to you. And how is the price of petroleum today vis-a-vis a year ago?

    And this is not specific to computing products.

    Have you seen the price of lumber over the past two years? It affects everyone making cardboard for boxes to coffee cups at your local cafe. And like I mentioned earlier, everything gets thrown on a truck for final delivery. It's not like internal combustion engines have gotten 30% more efficient in the past six months to compensate for it.
    “No” would have been perfectly sufficient.

  • Apple's new 35W power adapter can charge two devices at once

    crowleycrowley

    The 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter will cost $59. Aside from the United States, it will also be available to customers in Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.
    UK too, not sure why it’s not on your list. Is it because it isn’t a “compact” version?

    I was very underwhelmed with the gaming segments. Although having one AAA large game announced (compared to some crappy old iOS game) is a start, it’s nothing compared to what companies traditionally announce. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo come out arms swinging when new hardware is announced. They’ll showcase 12-25 games at once.

    Maybe it’s Apple’s secrecy that stops developers but this was sad. And as usual Apple TV and tvOS get ignored like an ugly step child. when Craig mentioned gaming I was ready for Apple Arcade+ or some huge partnership. We get one big NON-EXCLUSIVE game. Ok. Back to Winblows and PS5, I guess.
    Neither Resident Evil Village or No Man's Sky are a crappy old iOS game.  Both are big games.

    Read it again. 
    Write it again.  

    What crappy old iOS game are you referring to?
    Why are you only talking about one big game being announced when two were?

  • Apple Store down ahead of WWDC keynote

    I don’t think they’d have taken the store down if there were not going to be hardware announcements. 
    I think it's standard practice during WWDC whether there's hardware announcements or not, there will be new content to put up even if it's just new iOS and macOS pages.  

    Frankly it's pretty ridiculous to suggest that any website needs to be taken down for updates anyway, it's just a bit of theatre from Apple.
    Who suggested that they "need' to take the store down?
    Apple taking the store down suggests that they need to.
