To be fair, those were both post-Jobs projects at Apple, so Jobs' "real artists ship" quote doesn't exactly apply.
That's not a good analogy for the situation. A better grocery-based analogy would be if there's only a single Bob's Grocery in town (and for whatever reason more Bob's Groceries can't be opened) but there is a Sally's…
That's not how monopolies work, though.
iOS and iPadOS aren't the most dominant OSes, so therefore this can't be a monopoly.
Technically yes, but it's not without many caveats, and often depends on what you're doing with the recordings. See https://www.freedomforum.org/recording-in-public/ for _some_ of the complexities. (Note:…
Nice pithy statement, but police are able to do _many_ things that the general public aren't allowed to do, in order to do their jobs. I'm not saying flock is good or anything like that, but arguing against it because…
Yeah, same. It was quite punishing to mix a bad DVD UI with a bad DVD player/remote!
It always seemed to me that (for the most part) the anticipation of special features was just because they were so hyped by the manufacturers as selling points. Kind of like when Apple makes such a big deal about the…
To be fair, "just trust me, bro" has _always_ been Meta/Facebook's policy. Sure, they have a big long nicely-written policies if you look for them, but they continually break them, get caught, say "sorry, my bad" and…
There's at least one way where there's a direct comparison: they both have dev kits.
Game console dev kits usually cost more than the consoles they're for, not less. They're not mass produced at the scale that the consoles are, and they're sold or leased to companies expecting to make several orders of…
Game console dev kits are typically _more_ expensive than the consoles they're for. So "full price" isn't a good argument. (The fact that they were available to the public is a stronger argument.)
Game console developers always had to (and still have to) pay for their dev kits. That doesn't really make them products in the typical sense of the word, though. The stronger argument for it being a product is that it…
You seem to be saying contradictory things. You're saying it's not a good incentive, but you're also saying Apple should have added it already. Why should they have already added it if it's not a good incentive? Why…
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. And I'll admit that there's chance I'd notice what you're talking about if I saw/used it in person instead of relying on promotional photos.
I don't think I agree that anything's cramped in the photo you linked to. If you were attempting to point out down at the bottom where it says "Size" that's not a fixed control. That's a webpage, and that's scrollable…
> But find a voice that works for whoever is presenting That's much much easier said than done. Sometimes the very rehearsed voice is as good as you're going to get, without the person being a professional lecturer. >…
The corners aren't rounded enough to impact those things though.
So what are you saying? Because there are cheaper earbuds made by someone else with this feature, Apple _shouldn't_ add it to their earbuds? I'm not sure why that would be the case.
Why is that area non-trivial? Do you use anything that has important content in the very corners? I've never seen anything that has important content in the areas this cuts off. I'm really curious about your use of…
Ignoring your other criticism and focusing just on one: How do you justify your claim that it arrived too late? What have people moved onto past foldable phones, in your view?
In case you haven't seen it, Imitone's patent is US20170098112A1 (https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170098112A1/en). This one's from 2017 and is still active, and it's for a periodicity analysis system. Hopefully…
The raid being due solely to music copyright infringement is really the most likely situation. There's no need to imply it was anything else. For example, in 2009 I worked at a record store that got raided due to such…
Surely there must be more to it than that? At least some sort of connotation that "soul" lacks? Otherwise why use "sovl" instead of "soul"?
Was it even possible to register just a second level .name domain name? It sounds like it wasn't, so therefore no one would be using john-doe.name and there'd be no ambiguity.
