Technology moves in cycles. We went through this back in 90s and 2000s with Flash, Dreamweaver, ActiveX, Ruby, PHP, and etc. I suspect we'll see us going from Electron > React-Native or identical and then realizing the benefits of n

Electron is acceptable for seeding the development of a new idea, product, and/or platform. However, as the team and product grow up, it becomes less acceptable as users expect more performance by going more native and deeper integrati

Why is it strange? It has been common practice for decades now, you couldn't even buy games in Japan and play it on US console 10-20 years ago. That's because you do not own the content, you are licensing the content and the conte

I think you're missing my point. I'm not talking about legalization or no legalization at all. The article is fully clear on pros and cons for them, the article just doesn't go further to explain why there is "demand&quo

Yea, that's why they're still selling more MBP than before and their R&D are increasing by billions every year. Sorry, power users are very small # of users. Making a laptop to appease power users will do very little to the bo

Nor does investing pointlessly or burning the money. Nothing is a sure fix for tanking businesses. Yahoo didn't do anything to help themselves, there's nothing innovative or useful about them. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

They already are, you have to understand, they're practically printing money with the iPhones. They are capturing more than 90% of the market's profits for high end smartphones. They are not sitting around doing nothing. They cann

Reinvest in what exactly and in a way that would return money back? Apple has suffered through the tough times in the 90s where they almost went out of business. Having that much money means Apple can take greater risks and still suffer thr

I'm not sure where we crossed wires but we're saying the same thing, nothing you said changed what I said. What I meant by OP is that it is not as simple as flying their partners in and they start working together and then leave.

There's also the possibility that Apple knows it infringes on certain patents but have done a risk assessment saying the lawsuits would be cheaper to go than to buy the company outright. Going with the lawsuits also mean a good chance

But it is Apple, one of rare "experienced" companies that can pull this off well (not perfect but enough). Apple has done two (or three?) complete CPU architecture changes and developers just had to recompile their app. Remember f

by mikhailt 10y ago
That may be true but unlike Adreno, you know Apple does not resell any of the patents to anyone else, so it always stay contained to Apple's products. Given how much revenue they can take, it's a very tempting business agreement.

Not really, you seriously think Apple would just let ImgTech guys come in without lawyers and agreements and all of that sort? Apple has extensive experience in this area, they had ImgTech signed everything possible to protect Apple and to

by mikhailt 10y ago
It is not a silly question, it's just that no one outside of Apple and/or ImgTech knows. The most logical reason would be that Apple has all it needs when it started building its own custom GPU many years ago and ImgTech has no pa

That's due to integrating the memory controller onto the CPU, you can't switch memory controller to use a newer spec, you're stuck with whatever the CPU supports.

People need to stop telling Apple what to do, they are not going to listen. They got to where they are by themselves, and they are either going to dig a hole or do something better by themselves. As for Google, good, that doesn't harm

If you don't understand this, then you're in the wrong business. I hope your school teaches that even vetted security code can be turned against you.

Open source doesn't mean it's secure either and you have no proof that Google isn't doing the same via its Google Play Services on top of Android nor do you have any proof that none of the Android manufacturers are not modify

Except the only lock Apple has placed is to prevent compromising your TouchID/secure enclave data, which is understandable. They're not locking you out of repairing other components like screens, batteries.

I ran out of time to edit my post, I was speaking in general and I forgot the clear definition of absolute rights. I meant that Apple as a company has obligations to protect you and your data at all costs. State laws should consider the imp
