  • Epic CEO will fight Apple to the bitter end over App Store control

    jblongzjblongz
    II don't agree with the way Epic Games started this, but I do feel their sentiment.  Taking 30% of someone's business in order to sell on their platform is like doing the same in order to make a MacOS or Windows 11 app.  It does seem unfair.

  • Apple chose a bad year to launch expensive iPads that aren't compelling

    This is the problem with being a publicly traded company with shareholders pressuring engineers to milk the customer.  If Wozniak were CEO and in control of Apple decisions, I'm sure the product lineup would already be several generations ahead.  We still have slow lighting ports on $1k iPhones, cheaply made keyboards for iPad Pro, Macs without touch screen, A Touch Bar instead of every key on the keyboard having an OLED surface, deprecated MacOS Server functions...the list goes on.  Lets not forget how they shunted Ubuntu's efforts with the GTAT sapphire supply chain scandal.  There is a dark side of the Apple giant.

  • Facebook developing smartwatch with health, messaging features

    Bring on the heat.  Apple's watch is fancy, trendy, and powerful, but Google's FitBit has been very resourceful, and in many respects, more usable.  If Facebook's watch can last at least 4 days on a single charge like the FitBit, it has a chance at eating some smart watch market on the advantage of efficiency alone.  I'm sorry for any iWatch user that must charge their watch every 24 hours...don't we have enough to manage in life?
