  • Editorial: Mac Pro puts the pedal to Metal in Apple's race with Nvidia

    Hahahaha.....Tell that to Microsoft too. Even Windows Pro, Office Pro, and whatever ‘Pro’ equipment and software out there currently has limitations. No hardware and software are without limits/boundaries.

  • Apple hit with new iPhone throttling class action in California

    Americans are really strange at times. Why would one prefer to have their iPhones crashing instead of having it run stably but at slightly reduced speed, esp when most times that performance degradation isn’t noticeable.

    I was among those who had random crashing and auto-shutdown (think was iPhone 6s) which was getting very irritating. It was only much later that it was announced as a battery quality issue and a recall program initiated.

  • Apple Pay under scrutiny by EU for possible anti-competitive payment practices

    Just withdraw Apple Pay service from those markets. Let’s sit back and watch how things turn out.

  • Hong Kong legislator urges Tim Cook to put 'values over profits, pls!'

    Obviously, this Hong Kong's IT legislator has a political agenda. Anyone with strong IT background can tell that the app is tilted one-side - 'only identify police spots'. Why not rename and rebuild the app towards 'Protest/Riot Monitoring' on a few key fundamental functional changes:
    • allow crowd-source to identify all areas of protest/riot even if there is no police presence
    • strictly option-based inputs/selections which are neutral (not siding police nor the protestors/rioters)
    • remove ability to input custom-text (e.g. currently, there are custom inputs that states number of patrol vans, number of police officers, type of gears the police are carrying, etc
    The way the app currently functions is obviously siding with protestors/rioters and not truly with intention to help non-participating people to avoid areas of protest/riot since it only use to spot police. There are protest/riot going on without police arriving at scene but not shown on the app's map.

  • Apple again pulls police monitoring app from Hong Kong app store [u]

    The App developer is outright lying about the real intention of the app. Why would anyone use 'dog' to mark the spot where anti-riot police is spotted.



    And till date, they still refuse to accept that they are rioters, no longer protesters.
