I'm just a user of Apple products so I wouldn't, but I could see how developers want better targeting.

by IBM 9y ago
That's not very targeted. Real targeting would be using the contents of your email, iMessages, browsing history, etc.

Search Ads aren't a new product. Apple says they have 50% conversion on average.

by IBM 9y ago
This ad product doesn't rely on personal information which is why it's the perfect kind for Apple. Once you've typed something into search they have your intent and can show related apps to it. On other types of ads, a former

Prime Video has been struggling so Amazon can't afford the strategy tax of limiting it to their own devices [1]. The more Apple TVs that are sold by Apple, the more untenable their position becomes, especially when Netflix will be on a

The "deal" is that Ireland is holding the back taxes in escrow until the appeals are exhausted. And because it's such a large amount, Ireland had to hire managers/custodians for it. The terms are probably about what the

I was talking about the for-profit hospitals mainly but non-profit hospitals have been consolidating as well. In Massachusetts, a Partners HealthCare acquisition was blocked on antitrust grounds [1]. If other parts of the value chain are co

There's excessive concentration at every level of the health care industry. The top 3 PBMs have 80% of the market. Hospitals have consolidated. Doctors practices have consolidated. Consolidation begets consolidation as everyone seeks t

A big chunk of the health care industry is the oligopoly of distributors. There's only 3 of them: McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal. If Amazon can bring much needed competition to that part of the healthcare market it'd hel

The thing is there's lots of schadenfreude whenever Apple stumbles. Part of that is just being king of the hill for so long. But even before that Apple always chafed nerds because of how they came at computing (appliance-like) and the

Sure but that's still a far cry from saying that even a significant percentage of the Mac user base is aware of it. Social media moves so fast that there's almost no chance it penetrated the zeitgeist. A big well known flaw was th

I have a hard time believing that your less technical friends are even following Apple news. The average person that walks into an Apple store and buys a Mac probably has no idea about the original vulnerability, let alone the multiple patc

The last High Sierra update will have less bugs than the next major release too, so I don't think that's really relevant.

It's common among a small group of Mac users to hold Snow Leopard up as the peak of software quality, but only because of rose-colored glasses [1]. [1] https://www.computerworld.com/article/2528936/mac-os-x&#x

It's kind of amusing that all the investment in ML/AI by the internet companies is part of how they'll be regulated. I suspect it won't be good enough for a long time anyway and they're just going to have to hire a

People who level that critique at Apple are the equivalent of sports fans of rivals to the Yankees constantly talking trash about the Yankees. That is, it may make fans of Apple angry (and it did all throughout the 90s and 00s) but it had n

It's surprising how little of a lift TSLA got after Elon pulled out all the stops to pump the stock ahead of the inevitable secondary sales. It's going to be increasingly dilutive if investors aren't buying the Elon magic any
