That's a tired and specious argument that might have held water if Apple were only successful for a year or two. There are a myriad of devices from competitors who also had large marketing budgets but eventually disappeared into the ni

I found their bewilderment a little puzzling as well, but I believe it's due to the simplification of the last character. If you watch the older Canto/Traditional version of the video, the Japanese folk get the ramen part immediat

That one's more fun because it's a little more challenging for the Japanese folk, but the original is a bit more fair since it's vs traditional Chinese characters (and spoken Cantonese is a bit closer to the version that was

> However, it appears that Apple does payments in batches and will likely pay for more of the issues in the following months. Annoying, but possibly more to come.

It sounds like you've experienced either just pure luck or that you've carefully selected your components (which degrades the "universality" claim), at least for the Switch, since it doesn't fully implement PD and c

Epic moved the pawn that resulted in a check. Apple built the board. Who's responsible? 'Round and 'round we go. Probably fairer to just refer to them as a tuple: "Apple/Epic ending Fortnite updates for Mac." V

I was hoping for completely independent Watch setup, but this is an interesting compromise. Lets parents that are wary of getting full blown smartphones for their children, but still lets them be connected.

Depends on what you're comparing against. With the web, as much as I enjoyed those days, your take seems a bit rose-tinted. Generally, finding official binaries wasn't too bad. "This website looks official" was the bar.

So is it a duopoly or a monopoly? I'm fine with just throwing around words in casual conversation, but the closer the conversation moves towards the orbit of law, the more words will matter. > If some big app owner like Facebook or

I'm guessing Apple's defense will be very similar to the author's own words, except a little less emotional: > Apple is using its monopoly to hold all of us hostage > Apple’s iOS controls 25% of the global smartphone ma

I think you've misread the comment you're replying to; otherwise, I'm not sure I understand how your comment applies. He's saying the post claiming that Apple kept the 30% was fishy (and false). I don't know about a

Actually, I don't think it's possible to configure a 16" MBP without a discrete GPU - they all come with AMDs. Only the 13" MBPs can be configured without one, but he says he's using a 16".

You're complaining about straw men while simultaneously arguing that Apple customers have Stockholm syndrome when only a small fraction of them have issues. Right. Not your analogy, but it's a terrible one. If 10 customers buy a p

I find the Apple Maps navigation to be far more polished and human. Whenever they added "After the stop sign, at the next light turn right" made it my goto nav app. The search is still not great compared to Google Maps, though.
