At last Apple is dumping those pointless, wasteful stickers
Do you think the dairy & beef industry is throwing away the skins? Seriously?Xed said:Not the same thing. The leather used in their wallets isn't coming from chicken, pork, or cattle raised as beef or dairy.

"Most leather comes from cows raised for both beefand milk"
"Buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses because skin is the most economically important coproduct of the meat industry."
(I do use leather on my iphone mini case - and use Bestgrip leather grips on my golf clubs)
ps Pigskin is excellent leather, as is kangaroo amongst many other animal skins.

Up close and hands on with Apple Vision Pro at Apple Park
It gives the porn and sex cam industry time to plan and prototype.fred1 said:I find it interesting that they announced a product that won’t be available for nine months at least. More importantly it won’t be released until after the Fall product announcements. Why didn’t they wait until then to announce it? Was it all the buzz going around? Or just wanting to get people excited so they won’t look at what others come up with between now and then?
From 8mm projectors to VCR and on… ‘twas ever thus.

Wired CarPlay vs. wireless - the pros and cons
Just to be clear for those unaware..
Wireless Carplay does NOT stream music or commands over bluetooth.Carplay connection is initiated over bluetooth, and then a wireless connection is created between the phone and the carplay device.
This is why control and music streaming is indistinguishable from a wired connection.

Google spending $15B to remain default iOS search engine to block Microsoft
All you have to do is go to the Safari settings on your iPhone and choose DuckDuckGo (or Bing for that matter). It's that easy.mobird said:Why doesn't Apple help a privacy advocate such as the duckduckgo organization and let them supply the search engine? Apple doesn't need the revenue stream at this point. Wouldn't that partner be more in line with Apple's current privacy stance? Or maybe you have to be in the "Big Tech" fraternity to be considered, or maybe duckduckgo is unable to scale to accommodate such volume for what ever reason...
