Rodney Avilla on AppleInsider: Something's rotten in the App Store - '“Or to look at it another way, Apple earned between $1.425 million and $2.85 million from that scam, depending on whether the developer is charged 15% or 30%.” I’m not sure this reporting is true. The fake cryptocurrency app referred to [Freecash] was free in the app store. And according to an AI search, the way the app got people’s money bypassed Apple’s commissions and Apple earned no money.'
on AppleInsider: Something's rotten in the App Store - 'I thought all those emails were the result of some vendor sharing my email address. I won’t tout Apple’s no email harvesting any more. Really disappointed with Cook on this issue.'
on AppleInsider: Something's rotten in the App Store - 'Apple’s failure to remove Musk’s retooled porn-generating app – even after it rocketed to the top of the App Store – is inexcusable. Like Fortnite, it should have been pulled immediately!'
on BNP Paribas raises its Apple target $40 to $300 - '“CORRECTION: An earlier version of this item had a big fat typo in the headline.” Waiting for headlines that Apple 3.0 cuts analyst’s Apple stock target price in half! Noticed this typo before it was corrected. As for the correct story it is good to see an analyst upgrade the stock regardless of the recent war price gyrations.'
on Neo isn't the only Mac that Apple can't build fast enough - 'That Wǒkyis Retro Mac dock station let me plop in a 4Tb Samsung PCIE SSD card inside it, so I have an external SSD connected to my 4Tb Mac Mini for backup purposes.'
on Neo isn't the only Mac that Apple can't build fast enough - '“Hold off” ? No. No. No! Buy NOW. Then hand it down and buy another in six months. 🙂'
on Saturday Apple video: Steve Jobs' hula hoop (1999) - 'A conference I attended had quarterly meetings, and those were early adopters of widespread WiFi. The best use of this came at the Swisshotel in Chicago. We were there for the second time, and the large brandy snifters of chocolate were missing when we checked in. Turns out they were hidden from the ‘nerds who ate too much candy.’ They were brought out later in the day, and the emails flew across the conference. Each group would schedule a break when the chocolate was available, and like a flock of birds, we’d descend and clean out the chocolates.'
on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - '— Dan E. — “…an additional 5 million Neo’s is not a huge revenue increase for the company.” Revenue, nice, but a founding presence in an expanded arc of offerings is better. This is foundational revenue for so much more to further advance broadly across the ecosystem.'
on In 2015 Apple became the No. 1 buyer on eBay of second-hand Nvidia cards - '@Stephen Get Brodart Just-a-Fold clear, acetate cover material from Amazon. You trim it to size with an Exacto or other knife. Looks simply beautiful on Pogue’s book! Similar to what libraries use to protect their books. Sturdy and very professional. You’ll be delighted with the results!'
on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - 'I’ll take any additional 1% the market throws an Apple, which should translate to at least another $2 for AAPL. In fact it probably should add at least $3 for the halo effect and increased user base that the Neo brings.'
on In 2015 Apple became the No. 1 buyer on eBay of second-hand Nvidia cards - 'I just finished it Wednesday as well. One of many tidbits I not heard before was that the “Jobs cheated Wozniak out of the extra money for less chips in the Breakout design back in the Atari days” myth is a single sourced story that Jobs denied “until his death”. That one source has just propagated into legend, it was nice that David presented another angle. Since desktop publishing has been so central to my career, I really enjoyed that part as well.'
on BNP Paribas raises its Apple target $40 to $300 - '@PED: Although I would not bat an eye at a $600.00 PT, they actually set it at $300.00 from $260.00. Have a great weekend and thank you for such a great platform.'
on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - '“Houston… we have a problem…” Fortunately, it’s a great problem to have!'
on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - 'Looking at the benchmarks, an A19 is just a little bit faster than an A18Pro, with the same number of cores. The A19 does have some added silicon innovations allowing AI on device to be faster. Apple says they are planning for 10 million Neos this year and estimates are for 5-7 million A18Pro. So I would not be surprised to see an update on the Neo come the Fall. Just in time for Christmas.'
on In 2015 Apple became the No. 1 buyer on eBay of second-hand Nvidia cards - 'You won’t regret it, Graham. It even has stories that make me laugh out loud.'
on In 2015 Apple became the No. 1 buyer on eBay of second-hand Nvidia cards - '@Stephen Man I remember that. First thing in the fall in grade school after getting our school books we’d be cutting up shopping bags and folding them to make book covers.'
on In 2015 Apple became the No. 1 buyer on eBay of second-hand Nvidia cards - 'Wow… Does Apple go above and beyond, or what? So impressive.'
on In 2015 Apple became the No. 1 buyer on eBay of second-hand Nvidia cards - 'That’s quite an endorsement, PED and Stephen. A copy has been sitting in my cart at Amazon, may be time to pull the trigger today… thanks!'
