the Remote app is now working since apple released tvOS 9.1 two days ago. in fact, I am using the app to type in password for my NAS.
the new Remote app, that they will release in 6 months, will have Siri.
did you check Google TV land that was release a year ahead of Apple tvOS? it is a ghost town over there.
Apple tv app store has more apps within a month of its release than Google tv that is on the market for 2 years.
what can an iphone do that a android phone can't? same thing for ipod. but iphone and ipod sells millions.
what can an Toyota Camry do that a Ford can't? and yet Totoya sells millions of Camry.
I am talking about a brand-new built house with one year of warranty from the builder. yeah, you can go to whoever you want to fix it but cost is yours if you don't get the fix from the builder.
yeah, like samsung give you better choice with their bloat wares or Tizen skin. if you want...
then if there is an issue with an update, the consumers are left to find out who's fault it is: google? no, Samsung? no, Ok AT&T then? maybe. call AT&T and get "no, it is Samsung"
The cycle begins to figure out who is responsible.
Buy a house from a builder. the AC broke and you blame on the AC manufacturer and try to find support from them, rather than from the builder?
that is a big difference between Apple and Google. Apple owns and is responsible for all aspects of their product, from hardware to software to...
That was how Microsoft started: from consumer to enterprise.
every large/small company with IT department have iOS mobile team. Every serious e-commerce sites have to spend money on developing iOS app.
Many schools now require/recommend students to have ipad to do their homework...
a bunch of Apple haters in this forum...
Apple will be the last company that can survive out of dozen companies out there if there is such an end. So your hope of Apple dying is going to take a long time.
Their cash can save them from many recessions or many mistake that they would have...
according to your logic, smart phone is just an extension of dumb phone which is just a extension of dial phone, etc.
Do you even know how much apple make on their iphone? or even ipod? more than any companies that you even know or love. enough said.
your argument is conflicting. or you really mean it?
if you are a business owner, would you make a product that targets 90% of the population (mom, pop, grandma, kids). or would you rather make your product just for 10% of geeko here?
why should they have to know about RAM and chip? if an artist, a teacher, a mother, or a kid owns a phone, why should he/she need know about RAM and chip? it is just a tool after all. they rather spend their time on something more important in life than Ram and chip.
do you know about...
I have products from all three companies: ATV 3, iphone 6 plus from apple; Nexus player and Shield TV with Google TV; Window 10 from Microsoft.
those things you said above are the opposite of what I experienced. No software from any companies are bug free. but out of all those three...
Apple without Steve Job is like Ford without Henry Ford. Men with real visions and passion for their products, not like so many other CEO who care most about sales, revenue, shareholders.
Steve Job reinvented music player (ipod), reinvented smartphone (iphone), reinvented tablet (ipad)...
I don't buy smartwatch since I don't need one.
but there are many Android geeko here who are hurt by this news. Then call people buying apple watch stupid/sheep.
just because people like and buy something that you don't, it does not mean you are smarter.
if you are in the business to...
not many companies have the resource, willing, and power to change the current polluted TV cable model that is monopolized bye powerful cable/network companies.
Netflix has been fighting with these companies for years to get contacts with these companies.
if I have to vote for a company...
The rumor had it that Apple will come out with new ATV this June. They are couple years delayed because cable/network companies playing hardball and refuse to give up their fat.
It is true that Apple is not always the first to (re)invent something new but they are usually the one who do it...
anyone here would not take the ipad seriously, and that is not what it is for.
it is for kids. every kid in a family have either an ipad or a ipad mini. each kid has one.
if the kids want it, parents would buy it.
it is also for seniors since ipad is easy to use. disabled kids also use...
they have to since they are cornered by both Google and Apple who both dominate mobile world and lock their customers in their own ecosystem.
MS must change its way when they are beaten.
wait... you paid a service that caused stress on your family?
welcome to the cord-cutter club! you are late but nonetheless.
I cut cord long ago. I can't remember how long ago, at least 10 years.
repeated ad, same programs again and again, ad that screams at you. all of these are...
just a warning...
I bought Corsair K70 Blue switch and blue LED, and two LEDs died in a few months. I got Corsair to replace it with another K70. Then a few months later, 2 LEDs died.
I also have Logitech G710+ for a year and no LED dies yet. and logitech illuminated keyboard for years...
I think Apple would be in worse situation than MS.
MS core business is enterprise which is highly profitable and much more stable. MS has no competitor in their core business.
Apple core business is consumer which is highly competitive, and they have a strong competitor, Google/Samsung...
I got 10mbps down/ 1 up for $29. then TWC upgraded to 15mbps at no additional cost.
I am happy with TWC so far here in NC.
There is AT&T Uverse here that is available recently but it is more expensive. it costs $40 for 12mbps.
I doubt 4k adoption rate would be faster than HD 1080P years back. going from big CRT TV to light, flat, less-energy-consumption has more incentive than going from 1080P to 4K.
most consumer can't even tell the diference between 1080P and 4K when they sit far from TV or just low quality...
agree. however, if MS spend more money on content such as exclusive games and new IP. then it will do fine. I assume this since MS got more money than Sony and they spend less on hardware.
if Sony spend less money on content for some reason (lack of budget?), their better hardware would...
no links. everything Google does has everything to do with consumer data to feed their core business, ad.
Google gave out Android, Gmail, GPS, search, Doc, Map, etc for free. you think they do it for charity?
Nest allows google access to your home data.
people said Nest is not worth it or google overpaid....
unless you actually own this thermostat for at least a few months before you can claim whether it is worth it.
I owned 2 Nests and I think google made a very smart move. Nest hardware and software are way ahead of anything out...
for a few minority of hardcore fans, that is true. but for majority of millions of customers, it is completely false.
For apple to dominate phones, ipod, ipad markets, overpriced products with gimmicks would not fool millions of customers.
