  • Apple says Spotify 'wants all the benefits of a free app without being free'

    Who defines what a "free" app gets and what a "paid" app gets?

    Apple.

    The real headline should be: Apple wants to be both a player and the referee.
    It’s pretty simple. You knew the rules of the game going into it. You agreed to the developer agreement and guidelines. Now you’re upset with the hand that gave you opportunity in the first place. Didn’t you know that you were making a service that directly competed with iTunes? Didn’t you figure that Apple wouldn’t sit still if that happened? Come on. Get real. You just want Apple to give you special treatment because you’re so special in your eyes.

  • Highly suspect benchmarks stoke rumors of Apple-designed ARM chips for Mac

    jkichlinejkichline
    Seems to me that if you’re going to transition to ARM, you need enough horsepower to handle x86 emulation for apps not recompiled to support ARM. I suppose this would be trivial to recompile existing apps using an updated version of Xcode, or to compile iOS apps to Mac soon which already using ARM instructions.

  • Review: Galaxy Buds easily beat Apple's AirPods but are years late to the game

    jkichlinejkichline
    Samsung rips off Apple again. Apple’s AirPods are years old and still is better and Apple is coming out with new ones soon which will leapfrog their current offering. If it weren’t for Apple, Samsung wouldn’t know what to build.

  • President Trump insists he was saving time by calling Cook 'Tim Apple'

    That actually makes sense, as Trump is a pretty fast talker. If you take the sentence and add a comma or semicolon, it makes a lot of sense
    "We appreciate it very much, Tim, Apple." (comma added)
    He's not just thanking Tim, but Apple (as a company) as well.

    Sounds good to me. Why say Tim Cook from Apple, when you can just shorten it to Tim Apple. Probably not, but he see's a lot of people every day. I'm sure he has Apple in in mind, and Tim Cook, and it came out Tim Apple. It's a perfectly normal thing. People are far from perfect. Obama said we had 57 states. Actually it was 58 total.

    I can point to many others though the main stream media don't generally cover these type of things on the left. Every little thing Trump does, oh they are right there to jump all over it.
    Yeah, and then there is that. Obama made huge flubs all the time (including constantly stuttering a bunch). The MSM was nice enough to edit that stuff out for him, rather than highlighting, or even exaggerating it (or, out of context) for Trump.

    While this isn't exactly one of Trump's 'fake news' moments with the MSM (there are MANY!), he's right about the way they pounced on it. That said, the way he acts, he does kind of deserve this kind of thing (though, not the fake news or misconstrual they often do).

    It's the second time he has done such a thing.    My theory?   Autistics tend to see things more than people and Trump is autistic, just like Barron.   So to Trump, Tim and Apple are the same.  No distinction.

    And, by that, I am not trying to be critical of Trump -- some of the world's most brilliant people have been autistic (or more correctly, Aspergians) - including the like of Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein and(very likely) our own Steve Jobs.

    Maybe not -- but Asperger's fits with Trump and this is just one more example.
    Hmm, I hadn't really thought about that, but it would explain some things.

    btw, trump isn't on the spectrum. maybe adhd.

    Do we know that for sure? Most people his age weren't diagnosed.
    The big issue is that Trump, if shown a mistake of any one of his opponents (which is basically everyone) would belittle and demean them and take things out of context. Grace is gone and trump deserves the criticism. If he didn’t claim superior intellect, insist he has all the “best words”, and dropped his ego a bit, it wouldn’t be an issue. But... here we are. Now we get to watch him flip flop like a beached fish since he’s incapable of admitted he slipped up.

    Just say “Tim”. Adding Apple is 300% more syllables.
