those with begging bowls

..continue to force a smile when given bread crumbs

no walled garden stink now

Obviously a full rename to 'The Perfumed Garden' is on order.

incentives, No way

Debt laden companies do not need incentives.

They primarily do as they are told.

The Apple Taliban...

...are out in force again I see.

Bread and water is the future chaps,

I'm sure you will get to love it.

Tali Ho.

with the blessing of Apple and Microsoft ?

...well they do appear to have some sort of pact.

Another dumb smartwatch?

Yes, it seems to me they are all dumb.

When a call is received, lifting your wrist to your ear falls on silence.

Only idiot devices exist. They all need to get bluetooth speakering.

How can they can the could?

They I could understand the 'could' bit.

Can and could, there is a difference.

I guess all those competitions where you 'could' win a free holiday banned too.

The ecosystem at works again.

Obviously it just works on a bona fide Apple router near you.

I'm obviously being ecosystem with the truth.

Surprised at Which ?

"I am surprised at Which doing something as irrelevant as benchmarking when their target audience is non-technical consumers."

Their target is customers seeking the 'digested truth' devoid of marketing stuff. Stuff that often seems a compulsory obligation when coming from our own mouths.

all Samsungs fault ....

.........that we have to reuse the old chipset, keep the low DPI screen and make loads of mega bucks from the cheapest made high end phone on the market.

Naught boy Samsung, stop giving us a crap iPhone.

Just a drop in the ocean

And obviously an off-shore ocean.

I'd really love to lose a few of my millions.

IOS Vista - well skin me alive

What rubbish.

The main IOS 7 change is simply a skin.

With Vista we got a whole kitchen sink full of bloat in very much the same skin.

AS most of us know with Android, you can choose and change a skin in seconds, as IOS will do/ impose.

Skins are no big deal, it is what underneath that really matters.

We pretty much know what Apple wants and how they work .............

.. so can you be guilty for the actions of others doing what they think you want?

Its a fascinating subject normally confined to history and politics.

re This is where Apple is weak.

It is not that you want something, it is that it is allowed and always there at the ready.

The fact that sycophantic sheep shearers are telling us choice is the new bad says it all.

Risk assessment.

Obviously we all do our own risk assessment on freeware compared to paid services.

Things get a bit harder when authorities have to decide what s what for their students.

.

Strategic alliance

It was always quite obvious the way things are heading.

Three's a crowd and it ain't going to get any prettier from these older two.

Back door already there no doubt. Get the iMessage?

Obviously they already control it so they want to extend that to Android.

We know why IOS location tracking is stil there and only ahd partial removal.

Is that important when many Android phones are sold without the marketing markup?

IMEI blocking should be enforced round the world via a stolen register !

We dont need big brother for that!

And this new perception simply does not hold up in court

You ain't marketing to sheep here guys.

This likely perceptional bullshit is for selling, not the law courts.

FFS guys.

This is Sata Express edition 8Gbit/s.

There is also Sata Express 16Gbit/s.

Yes it is called SATA because that is the protocol.

re - Can't we just ask the NSA to tell us where our phones are ?

just ask at the nearest router.

a simple web query hack and Apple will feed back to you the last 400 users.

Nah, they ain't tracking.

duty is obviously the same .........

....as the consumers duty to boycott the public purse thieving *astards,.

malware in the IOS app store is far sneakier....

Even Kaspersky cant find it cause Kaspersky are banned.

How sneaky is that?

100 times worse than Starbucks?

I recall that Starbucks boycott yet this sounds 100 times worse.

Its a funny old world aint it.

Cheap one to watch, expensive to buy.

Obviously, they want the suckers in droves buying their $10 made watch.

head up its own arse.

I'd suggest Apple were unable to cut a deal where it pays a little but gets absolved from any blame.

So Apple is forced back into its own corner yet again?

Bare but for the screen

weird, that it still uses the ancient bigger A5.

That A6 is smaller, more power efficient and faster, but obviously costs more than the $10 A5.

Apart from the screen, barebones is the word.

Just maybe they are morphing it next year into a game machine.

Stop killing the web.

This sort of action simply makes the web a conduit to apps.

The pirates are making proprietary suckers of us all.

one of each

I'm sure many till prefer the red ones complete with cancer creating pesticides.

For certain many see red with "how dare they remove our cancer"

Why it took so long - pay by rewards !

"why it took so long to kill DMI"

Obviously it was rewarding for so many to continue on the gravy train.

Thinking positive, there would have been a million pound losing bonus in the private sector.

these fees where the profit is

most have to pay up as these fees are part of the business model.

Some have them and some don't. Use Orange on contract at your own peril !

"they are mandated to do whatever makes the most money for the shareholders"

Seems to exclude bonuses, pension pots , arrival bonuses and all failure penalties.

Right said Fred.

Repatriating UK spend to the USA ain't repatriation.

Seems slightly different this one.

It seems they want the foreign money back in the states with no penalties.

As said tax in the country of spend is not happening properly,

feed the birds, tuppence a bag.

Yup, the old lady modernised for the net probably pays more corporation tax than Apple does in the UK/.

6 billion paid in the US and near 0.006 billion in the UK!

Yeh, we know that jingle, "There's an app than can SCAM"
