Laptops Are an Ill-Suited Tool From an Age Gone By  I saw an interesting article this week on 9to5Mac about how Volvo is ditching laptop computers for their service organization. Their repair technicians are now able to do their job using their iPhones and Apple Watch.
 iOS developers are lying when they make the claim that they have “no where to go”. Microsoft just rolled the red carpet out for them with a neon sign that says “iOS Developers wanted”. What more do iOS developers want?
Only Developers Want AppStore Fragmentation  In his latest piece for MacWorld, Jason Snell is at it again. He’s again advocating for iOS AppStore fragmentation. And as usual, all the benefits go to the developers and the consumers end up with nothing but drawbacks.
 Microsoft has an insignificant app store where I think I’ve purchased some screensavers before. They made a big splash this week by making the claim that they are committed to developer freedom and allowing alternate payment methods if developers choose.
 Jason regularly shills for developers to make more money at the expense of the consumer. If he wants to play to the developer crowd, fine. But the audacity of pretending that he’s advocating for the consumer is absolutely unforgivable. He’s dead wrong.
 There were a few reasons why I started writing on this blog. But one of them was the fact that a lot of the Apple “journalism” was overly skewed towards the developer. Which is a shame because iOS developers should be treated as supplier companies to Apple. Meaning that they are partners, but there will always be an element of adversarial oneupmanship.
 I read a shocking “takedown” of Joe Rogan by Ars Technica writer Beth Mole. She tries to make the case that “having conversations” or “just asking questions” is the trademark of snake oil salesmen. What an idiotic thesis. Here is a little of what she wrote.
