macOS Sierra review: An update as big as the mountains | iMore

September 21, 2016

Filed under: General — Steve Rea @ 7:17 pm

iOS 10 review: Cleaner, cleverer, and more convenient | iMore

September 21, 2016

Filed under: General — Steve Rea @ 7:16 pm

iOS 7 was a redesign, wiping away rich textures and putting physics-based interactions in their place. iOS 8 was a re-architecture, decoupling actions from apps and letting them extend into other interfaces and continue across devices. iOS 9 was a rewiring, setting up intelligence and proactivity, but in a way that respected privacy and security.

TidBITS: Explaining the Apple Ebook Price Fixing Suit

July 17, 2013

Filed under: General — Steve Rea @ 7:47 pm

By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard the news that U.S. District Judge Denise Cote has ruled against Apple in the antitrust suit filed against the company by the U.S. Department of Justice and 33 states, saying that Apple conspired with five major publishers to raise the retail prices of ebooks. Apple has announced that it will appeal, denying any wrongdoing. Initially, the next trial was supposed to set damages, but I imagine that will be set aside until the appeal is decided, first at the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, and then the Supreme Court if necessary.
