  • EU complaint against Apple Pay fueled by PayPal

    I am again feeling why we are helping the EU when they are trying to Destroy American companies . Do you see us trying to regulate BMW for having the same shape steering wheel as our Ford cars? 
    Last time I checked PayPal was an American company, and they’re the ones who have brought the complaint. 

    It’s almost as if all companies, irrespective of where they are domiciled, use the tools available to them to further their business interests. I think that’s known as capitalism, which last time I checked was also in fashion in America.

    Can someone who has an Android device and uses PayPal’s in-store NFC payment option explain exactly how it works on Android?

    I’ve tried a web search and as best as I can tell PayPal integrates with the Google Pay wallet functionality. Isn’t that just creating a virtual card PAN and adding that to Google Pay as if it was a physical debit card?

    I can’t figure out why PayPal can’t just create a virtual PAN and integrate with Apple Pay, just like every other bank or eMoney provider. 

    Or are PayPal getting direct access to the NFC chip on Android and using their own wallet instead of Google Pay?

  • Apple's Self Repair Program toolkit - Hands on with what's inside

    Ridiculous.  Absolutely ridiculous, and designed to discourage users from doing what is in reality a VERY simple repair that can be done with hand tools.

    I've changed dozens of iPhone batteries, and I've never needed any of these ridiculous gizmos.  Simple hand tools are all you need.  If you want to get fancy taking the glass off, use an iSclack.  You can press it back together with your hands, or put a stack of books on it.  Light finger pressure is sufficient to re-glue the battery.
    So if it’s “VERY” simple and can be done with hand tools, what’s the problem? People can simply not bother with Apple’s repair solution and do it with those simple hand tools you describe. 

    Apple’s DIY solution hasn’t replaced other repair methods. 

    By the way, the tools Apple’s offering here are the ones they use. They’ll be thrilled to hear from you that they can do it much cheaper.

    I guess we've come a long way away from the young and rebellious Apple shown in the 1984 commercial.



    That happened when Apple sold a $10K watch.

    My word that porche thing looks hideous. 
    What exactly in its design you don’t like? The bigger size? A wider/more stable stand which also allows you to turn the monitor into the portrait mode?

    Everything about it. The garish porche logo on the front. The angular shaped stand. The whole thing.
