  • Epic CEO Tim Sweeney grilled on platform agreements, V-Bucks

    There is a lot of vitriol on here against Epic.  I personally think that iOS has become like Windows and Mac, where it is a general operating system and that Apple should no longer be allowed to determine what I can and cannot do with the operating system.  My phone and my iPad are not like my gaming console - I use my iOS devices for basically everything, I use my xbox just for gaming and streaming shows.  I don’t think iOS and gaming consoles are equivalent.  But I do think iOS and windows are equivalent as they are both operating systems that enable me to do “limitless” things depending on software and how much limitation Microsoft and Apple actually put on them.  Same goes for the Mac my wife uses. Can you imagine how angry people would be if Windows mandated that everything now had to go through the Windows store and through their payment system?
    OK, simple, don’t but Apple products or try to profit from a business you create off its investment in a platform. Android called and said let’s play.

  • European Commission says Apple is in breach of EU competition law

    No one forced you to buy an iPhone nor iPad since 2007. No one also forced you to purchase any smartphone application on the App Store if you did buy an iPhone or iPad.  Get off your high horse and innovate something out of the EU that the rest of the world finds useful, helpful, and or impactful, and is willing with their one free will to pay for that value. 

    @Apple, quit selling in the EU Block. It will last for 3-6 months before the findings are negated. .

  • Senate seeks to spur U.S. processor manufacturing with $30 billion fund

    It’s not just corporate welfare. Having chipset manufacturing technology in the USA is vital for defense initiatives as the world moves more and more to electronic defense, security, and yes, attack. Dependence on foreign foundries is currently a big issue and source of tension in these sectors of American life.

  • Coalition for App Fairness names public affairs official as its first director

    "This monopolistic behavior reduces quality and innovation, leading to higher prices and fewer choices for consumers."

    -  How do you associate reduced quality with Apple practices?
    -  How do you ever accuse Apple of stifling innovation when it is virtually the definition of it in the dictionary?  

    Heaven forbid anyone who desires this type of service/product might be willing (not forced) to pay a higher comparative price for a small selection of products to satisfy their desire. 

    Does this organization have a rational reason for existing?

  • Intel swipes at Apple Silicon with selective benchmark claims

    stukestuke
    Game over for Intel.  Apple has always has a vision of the future beyond the cost of the R&D to enable it.  It's products (with privacy in mind, solutions in mind, for the customer) generate that R&D revenue.  This instead of watching the forecast, quarterly numbers, and complex licensing deals to lock in revenue.  Intel missed the iPhone deal and now history has caught up to show that they were wrong.  This article is a desperate plea to remain relevant.  In two years, Intel will either be a different architecture to remain relevant, or start to fade like IBM.
