There are people who will format and reinstall their os without copying any data… and they don’t have any backups

Pirated iOS apps are already a thing…

Those who want to pirate will find a way, and the rest will either just pay for it, or not get it to begin with.

The App Store and play store both need the option of demos… or at the option of the developer, time limited trials of the full app.

It just underscores the need for it.

I wouldn’t use an iPhone 5 unless you like having unpatched security flaws on an internet connected device…

Just a bad idea all around in my opinion

In the $300 range…

Even if they’re “only” SATA speeds, that would be such a game changer for a NAS

Both are dropping, but SSDs are dropping more quickly

What’ll be extremely nice is when the price per TB is less on an SSD than a hard drive.

Might be a while, but I would gladly take SATA speeds if that’s what it meant to get to that price.

Our vision is that we work as if we are one company.

Sounds like antitrust regulators would absolutely love that…

Apple shouldn’t be the one who devices what the users end up actually using… they should compete to have the best product, and let the users decide for themselves.

Much ado about Nothing…

What drive is inside?

So will they also add the ability for alternative messaging apps to be able to send / receive messages?

iMessage isn’t popular just because it’s iMessage, it’s popular because it’s the priority messaging system and seamlessly integrates with “normal” SMS/MMS messages.

I think Apple should make a MessageKit framework (or something like that) to enable apps the ability to essentially replace the messages app.

Apple makes and locks in so many default apps, and it’s kind of annoying honestly.

I hope this interoperability will mean something like Trillian could exist for the modern age… a single app that lets you communicate with everyone regardless of the platform they use. it’s a shame XMPP didn’t really take off
