    Their is no antitrust. No monopoly. No breaking of the law going on. How the previous judge went above their pay grade and basically legislated from the bench is beyond rational thought. 

    Let’s see a judge on appeal who actually does their job snd simply rules based on right snd wrong according to the law. 

    To be fair to the Judge that one point Apple lost on seems to be due to California state law not federal law.  I have no idea how well that part will hold up via appeal.

  • Google claims EU ignored Apple in $5.1B antitrust appeal

    Google must be desperate to pull this nonsense.  Apple at best has had perhaps 35% of the EU marketshare while Googie, via android has nearly double that (67%) as a quick trip to statcounter will show.  North America is about the only market where Apple and Google enjoy nearly equal marketshare.  Everywhere else Apple is a second.

    Apple reportedly patched the file:// but failed to block other iterations of the prefix like File:// or fIle://, meaning would-be attackers can easily bypass the built-in safeguards. The tech giant also failed to assign the bug a CVE designation, according to Minchan.
    As a developer I find it difficult to comprehend that other variations weren't tested...
    100% agree.  More so that the person assigned to fix this vulnerability didn’t think to do a caseless comparison.  
    Without Steve Jobs around and with Mr. Emoji “Cook” in the helm, Apple has become crap. Very little innovation, considering the amount of people they employ and the sad part is, it’s more about stroking Media than innovation, I can nearly everything the iPhone does in an android for half the price.  So no, I’m not at all surprised that this happened and it will continue to happen under Cook. 
    Looks at M1.  You're kidding, right?  Besides, Android is a malware/shovelware infested disaster area.  As the old adage goes you get what you pay for.

  • Civil rights groups worldwide ask Apple to drop CSAM plans

    It’s too late now. They just proven they can build something that helps governments, so they’ll demand it now. What an utterly stupid move. The only solution is to INCREASE security by providing end-to-end encryption, regardless of territory. Which they won’t.
    Actually if you think about it, it is a brilliant move.  Odds are this thing is based on complying with laws on the books (18 U.S. Code § 2258 and its four sub laws here in the US) allowing Apple to take a high moral ground on government efforts to open up their iPhones. 

    "But if we allow sideloading they will be able to bypass this measure.  Think of the children that will be harmed!" and to their customers they will point to those very same laws and likely say "But the law effectively requires us to do this - to protect the children."

    Then they break out the popcorn and watch the political free-for-all.

  • 2022 Mac Pro said to use Intel Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 CPU

    What they need to figure out is blending x86 and ARM architectures together so you get the best of both worlds in one computer.

    EDIT: Maximara has the same idea. 

    If I understand how they worked the old Mac286 and Mac86 NuBus coprocessor cards may be closer to what I am thinking of. "The Mac86 was an i8086-based card for the Mac SE, while the Mac286 was a higher performance i80286-based card for the Mac II."  That may seem primitive as all get out but remember it was the late 1980s and you were effectively putting a whole PC into your Mac.  The tech and license was sold to Orange Micro who could go on to make more powerful cards such as the OrangePC 440 5x86-120, 16MB PCI (PCI slots in a mac appeared with the Power Macintosh 9500 in June 1996)  Orange Micro stopped making such cards in 2001 and stopped existing in 2004.
