  • Apple's Mac mini now inexcusably getting trounced by cheap Intel hardware

    tylersdadtylersdad
    Yeah, but instead of having power, the Mac mini has that cool Apple factor and Apple industrial design. That's far more useful than actual computing power...

    You can't force a standard, you can only propose one. It can be rejected regardless of what Steve Jobs wanted.
    I can't find any evidence to suggest that FaceTime was ever proposed as a standard.
    What do you mean by proposed? It was never up as an open source solution, but Steve Jobs certainly said it would be. If you mean the former, then no. If you mean the latter, than I'm sure we can dig up the event where he said it.
    If you look at my original post (Reply #3), you'll see that I referenced Jobs' quote about making it a standard. Another commenter pointed out that a lawsuit may have been the death of FaceTime as a standard.

  • Apple again said to cut HomePod orders on poor sales performance

    tylersdadtylersdad
    Still loving my HomePods! That it is the best sounding smart speaker goes without saying and my HomeKit and Apple Music experience with the platform has been top-notch. I'm hoping this product stays around for a long time and I'm inclined to believe that rumored Siri improvements (hopefully announced at WWDC) which have been indicated by reports of Apple beefing up the personal assistant's team should go along way to ensure that. Fingers crossed!
    Seriously? Fingers crossed? Many of us are still waiting for FaceTime to become an open standard...like Jobs promised back in 2010.

  • Senator calls on Apple to address Face ID privacy concerns

    tylersdadtylersdad
    Franken should just stick to being a really crappy lawmaker whose only contribution to the Senate is CO2.
