  • Apple being sued because two-factor authentication on an iPhone or Mac takes too much time...

    I'm going to sue Apple for requiring my password to be too long. It's a major inconvenience on my life that I have to type a longer password than I want, even though I want a password, making it take an infinitesimally longer than it would if I had a smaller password!
    I once tried setting my password to penis, but it was too short.

  • Apple TV+ reportedly attracts 'millions' of users in first week as Apple renews four shows...

    Because people are morons, and are intellectually lazy, refusing to take a few seconds to understand how something works. 

    It's not that complicated. The Apple TV app simply aggregates content for all available sources, so you don't have to open each individual app for that service- just like Homekit, sharesheets, and a dozen other types of these services within iOS. The concept makes sense. Nobody wants to think about which app each piece of content is in. Within the Apple TV app, you have Apple TV+ content, which is obviously all free to subscribers. If one wants to ONLY see AppleTV+ content, it's not that hard to find that icon. 
    They spent all that effort on commercials, promotional work for their latest service, yet don't put it front and center on the AppleTV? That's downright stupid; one would promote their latest and greatest in the AppleTV app, just like they do on their website.

    If people need to scroll and look for it, you blew it.

    Almost the entire UI disappears and after watching the downloaded movie or show the user is stuck in an inescapable mode, locked into the last screen.
    If that's true then that's a complete and downright crap design. Who the F creates an app where the UI elements are stored online instead of within the app? This is so typical of Apple: expecting everyone has Internet access 24/7 24/365.

  • Apple's 'See' director clears up rumors about show's budget

    SEE puts to rest any concerns about Apple not producing adult content. We have an evil queen who masturbates or receives cunnilingus while “praying” to her god, and Jason Momoa slices and dices his way through bad guys, especially the slavers he brutally kills one by one to get his son back. Blood everywhere.
    Damn! Couldn't you have used the <spoiler> </spoiler> tag?

    if Bill Gates didn;t give Apple a handout, Apple would have been dead log ago.

    Microsft was required to prop up Apple so the ftc doesn't come down on Microsoft and break up the company for being a monopoly.
    Wait, what?
