Gregg Thurman on AppleInsider: Something's rotten in the App Store - 'If user experience is Apple’s primary credo, then someone(s) at Apple has slipped, stumbled and fell flat on their face. Advertising and privacy may not benjoined at the hip, but the public doesn’t know this. When they see ads (especially when they see enough to be annoying, they immediately believe, rightly of wrongly, Apple is spying on them. Privacy is too big an issue to endanger the Apple brand with advertising.'
on AppleInsider: Something's rotten in the App Store - 'I would be VERY HAPPY to hear Apple’s side on this and on the software quality issues I see and have talked about in Mac OS! Nor do I see this particular discussion as ‘ad hominem,’ although the lack of on-the-record substantive response from Apple does tend to generate that kind of reaction.'
on AppleInsider: Something's rotten in the App Store - '“We’ve been at this a long time.“ Too long. Whatever the excuse, we don’t hear Apple’a side. Filed under dinging Apple to make a buck. I sometimes think PED files these ad hominem arguments just t appear balanced….'
on Neo isn't the only Mac that Apple can't build fast enough - 'I guess the Cube was ahead of its time, huh?'
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 - '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 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!'
