  • Apple removes fake review identifier from App Store following Amazon complaint [u]

    As a product owner and somebody who was in touch with fake spot when it started, I unfortunately have to agree with Apple and Amazon on this one. I had a conversation with the owner who basically said “I can promote any product that I want, how I want!  It’s my company and I don’t care if you don’t like my results whether they’re correct or not“. Needless to say, fakespot said my products had a D rating and we never paid, solicited or manipulated any of our reviews and we had a 4.8 rating after 600 reviews. Being that fake spot does not have access to the real internal review data they are at best guessing the reviews are real or fake, hence Amazon saying that they are 80% inaccurate.

  • Microsoft to release one-time purchase Office for Windows, macOS in 2021

    Can you imagine no monthly cost for Adobe Suite? That would be $9000 for the whole suite.

    If it was up to Adobe, they would take our first-born child, force him/her into the Advertising world, not allow for freelancers, especially overseas ones, crush all Open Source competitors and charge us the $9,000 upfront and a year later charges us $5,000 upgrade fee that actually didn't add new features but just fixed the bugs in the original product we purchased, but they would highlight the fact their crappie algorithms from 1990 have been improved by 25%, which is only 10,000% slower than modern updated algorithms they refuse to license or buy from its creators. 

    Long live Quark Xpress!!  Adobe should have never been allowed to purchase Macromedia, period!  While there are competitors to Adobe, none of them are serious hundred million dollars, VC or publicly traded companies other than Corel Draw, they don't take competition seriously, thus it's just there...

    Any idea on whether it will be M1 native?
    Of course, a simple recompile will do. That does not cost Microsoft anything.

    Don't listen to the others... They are discounting the FACT that M$ already has Office Apps for iPad/iOS and so it IS a matter of re-compiling, TO A DEGREE.  You see, the new Mac M1 is ARM's based and is on the same chip architecture as the iPad/iPhone/Apple TV, so if you have an iOS App version, porting it over is actually pretty simple, when compared to porting from Intel to Arm... BUT again, this is assuming they have an iOS/iPad version of Office, which they mostly do.  Now I DO agree with others, it's not just a straight forward port, you always have to Alpha test, Beta test, update for mouse/screen, etc. but we are not talking about a complete re-write.

    Just wait for China to force Apple/Tesla/amazon to sell their Chinese arm of service.

    i hate Chinese government and Taitok. But this is no way a fair deal.

    China hasn't allowed or kick out; Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple US servers (All Apple Server must be located in China for Chinese users), Amazon only through allowing exporting they killed Amazon China internally, the list goes on and on and on...  You see China has been GAMING the USA for a long time and Obama, Bush, Democrats, and Republicans have been played!  POTUS is the FIRST president to stand up against them and we need to because they plan on bankrupting us by allowing China brands to overtake U.S. owed brands and are getting away with it.  Amazon has become China bit*h and is the Alibaba of the USA.  Lookup the China UN postal treaty and see how the USA taxpayers subsidize China Post to mail goods from China.  China government subsidies shipping to the USA and we the taxpayer pay to delivered address.  I can ship from Shenzen China to you CHEAPER than I can send from Any USA address to you!!!!!? WTF!

  • Samsung botches 'Find My Mobile' test, sends users '1' notification worldwide

    Haha, SAMSUNG doesn’t want to admit someone hacked their “find me, [with a mistress, with a drug dealer, with a criminal]” feature and know they got pwned so they say “internal test”. Yeah, right.
