It's the games, stupid!

Apple celebrates monumental 2016 App Store growth, $240M on New Years Day alone


According to Apple, the App Store's subscription billings grew significantly in 2016 to $2.7 billion, up 74 percent from 2015.

It might as well be with the way Intel fails to deliver chips year after year

Well, Ewan Spence isn't wrong, and it's the most important reason I'm still waiting for a Kaby Lake processor machine in any form factor 

This is an Intel SNAFU, and they seem oblivious to the matter.  

For Apple's Macs, it's been 4 years and counting for a real performance upgrade,

Samsung owes Apple a lot of money for patent theft, that some bad judges and crooked courts misruled on. 

I hope Apple continues to sue to get it all back, and the decisions reversed, especially judge Lucy Koh's decisions.

Not so fast: Google wouldn't quit with their information gathering by crawling and scraping data from Chinese servers.

That's the real reason the Chinese government took issue, that and the fact that Google didn't handle the situation correctly.

Don't try to turn Google into a US hero: It's anything and everything but.

Dear Tim Cook: Here's how Google handled Chinese censorship






And perhaps the major reason Apple hasn't released its own Apple branded display as yet: There seems to be a lot of tech in the works.

Let's see, isn't Apple working with LG?

Apple's Futuristic 'Acoustic' OLED Display for iDevices comes to Life at CES 2017 on Sony and LG Next-Gen TVs

Two years ago Patently Apple posted a report titled "Apple Granted Patent for Display-Based Speakers for iDevices." Apple originally filed for this patent back in 2012. At the time it sounded like something you'd expect to see in a science fiction movie for a device feature deep into the future. Well, it just so happens that it's now the big hit feature at CES 2017 for future TV's by LG and Sony. Our report covers two videos covering this new audio breakthrough.






CES is presenting a whole range of peripherals and add ons that make things more compatible with the new interfaces.

Perhaps Apple is waiting for 8K resolution before it makes a new Apple branded monitor that will require a new cable I/O?

10K is on the horizon too

VESA and the HDMI forum announce new specs for single cable 8K resolution



8K video with dynamic HDR is also supported by means of the new cable. The HDMI Forum explains that Dynamic HDR ensures every moment of a video is displayed at its ideal values for depth, detail, brightness, contrast, and wider color gamuts—on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis.
