Being open-minded and able to understand others' points of view and way of working doesn't correlate very well with traveling. In fact, if anything, in my experience it has the reverse effect because people who travel feel like th

That's weird take unless you decided to be completely vegan. Cows recognize people very well too and will definitely flock to their feeder yet we have been eating them for centuries. In fact, one could argue that to allow domestication

It wasn't even well known until very late into the 2000s (even early 2010) when Apple actually started to make a lot of money and got a lot more scrutiny. Because it is pretty simple, you don't really care about a struggling compa

It's hilarious how much nonsense people will say in order to pretend that the CiCo (Calories-in Calories-out) model does not work. When in fact anyone who has even remotely tried knows very well that it works perfectly but it's ju

Yes I know the type. First and foremost, they are contrarian and "alternative". They always try to oppose whatever the majority is doing, even when it clearly is the correct thing (they are often anti-vax as well). They usually ar

Well they are kind of doing that with their buyback-recycling and no interest loan program on top of their programmed obsolescence but they are not upfront about it. I agree that it should be made clearer to the customers that they don'

About epub, Apple is just mad because they were not able to corner the market in a way that would allow them to dictate everything about it. Their proprietary format is a failure (the only benefit was to be able to use their publishing app,

They already do that in many ways. Plenty of features are US only with no signs of Apple wanting to provide complete parity. I think it is really good if Apple becomes weaker in the EU, more space for other competitors to step in...

I have been using an Apple Watch since 2018 (bought for the "superior" swim tracking back then) and I think they are really not that good for sports tracking. There is 3rd party software that makes the deal much better but it'

You are confused about Microsoft. They did (do?) have some bad anti-competitive behavior but they won because ultimately, they provided a competitive OS (and software suite) at a very competitive price and nobody was able to successfully of

Even if you think that the EU is an over-regulating bureaucratic monster (which I do), Apple is proving exactly why we need regulations in the first place. They wouldn't be in this mess if their behavior wasn't so unfair and anti-

It's modern racketeering. If you don't need them, they'll make you think you need them (so they can monitor your needs) and when you do need them, they will extort you any way they can. The vast majority of websites don'
