DeepPan
18:38:12
that one is genuine
bobbeach
18:38:50
All the Apple stores Ive seen in places where architecture matters, eg. Florence, Paris Opera, Bolgogna have blended in very well
MaJiKman
18:39:46
The Regent Street and Covent Gdn work beautifully
bobbeach
18:39:47
The insides are identical of course
DeepPan
18:40:24
I know a few UK towns started pushing back on McDonnald’s and Starbucks openning during their high speed expansion, could the same start happening with Apple Stores?
bobbeach
18:40:49
Don’t blame them with McDonalds and Starbucks!
MaJiKman
18:40:55
If their totally mad, then yes @deepPan
MaJiKman
18:43:29
Could you not Print that Ewen
bobbeach
18:44:05
We all know Apple prices for accessories are way over the top (And yes I buy them too)
MaJiKman
18:45:05
The Apple Logo!!!!
MaJiKman
18:45:20
Is what your buying
bobbeach

James Richards Apple Fanboy!
bobbeach

You can download older OSX’s from the Mac Store
bobbeach

Does anyone use Clips?
DeepPan
18:57:18
Coming to Photo Booth …….. :D
MaJiKman
18:57:21
Whats clips
bobbeach
18:59:23
Photo Booth is crap
bobbeach
18:59:39
Does anyone use that?
MaJiKman
18:59:54
Lot of fun thou, well for 5 mins
DeepPan
19:00:22
There are some “stars” on Strictly that wish they had the technology to remove themselves from a picture #Topical :D
MaJiKman
19:00:57
So “taking someone out” takes on a whole new meaning.
DeepPan
19:01:25
I’m guessing this tech could be well used with AR
bobbeach
19:03:26
Apple Pencil 2
MaJiKman
19:03:49
An iSuey bowl
bobbeach
19:04:41
Eraser on the end; and magnetic so it bloody shticks the to iPad
DeepPan
19:04:51
New pencil will follow the same connectivity as the Crayon, no more pluggin into the bottom of the iPad
bobbeach
19:04:51
Like the Surface Pen
DeepPan
19:06:21
no jonny here! :D
DeepPan
19:06:30
apart from Ive
MaJiKman
19:06:38
How about a button to use as a pointer, maybe a switch a picture.
MaJiKman
19:06:58
to take a picture
DeepPan
19:07:31
This is Apple, that don’t add buttons to anything, only take them away :)
bobbeach
19:07:43
The Apple Pencil is more elegant that the Surface Pen, but it’s not as practical
MaJiKman
19:08:21
Maybe a microphone so you could call Siri
DeepPan
19:09:51
A wireless iPad hub? HDMI, USB3, connectors etc. :)
MaJiKman
19:10:27
What all in Pencil 2, that would be awesome
DeepPan
19:13:02
That would be Dongle-palooza! :D

Biggest Shopping Mall in the southern hemisphere is 45 minutes drive from here: a couple of years ago a new Apple store opened up, about three times the size of the existing one. I don’t go there, casn’t stand the place

Greenie, do you have one of those big jackets with 10,000 watches hanging on the inside of it? :D
DeepPan

expand, sell chocolate bars and silk stockings too :D
DeepPan
20:49:53

Greenie, by a bunch of tiny apple stickers, then sell each watch on of £50 :D

Can’t even find previous macOS purchases in the Mojave version of the (CR)App Strore
DeepPan

Apple’s statement was so strong that it would have serious financial implications if they were wrong
DeepPan
21:03:11
has anyone actually provided a board yet which contains one of these chips?
windrider
21:04:30
Charging process
DeepPan
21:07:44
elaborate scheme = give the media a fake story and wait for them not to fact check :D
DeepPan
21:08:09
be first or be right
windrider
21:09:17
Mac App Store in Mojsave no longer shows older versions of Mac OS that were available in High sierra.
windrider
21:09:54
Good thing I copy & keep all new versions before installing
DeepPan
21:10:37
if this chip was being added on the production line, it would be on pretty much every board, so extremely easy to find an example, yet no hardware has been found yet
windrider
21:13:13
<< Leaves the chat room
DeepPan
21:13:46
this stuff definitely happens, by US, China, Russia etc. but would be done very selectively, and somewhere between leaving factory and arriving at target customer. This story implies it was at the production line in every board
DeepPan
21:16:14
only other thing to consider with this story, as it’s bloomberg, if this is a stock manipulation and bloomberg has been played
DeepPan
21:19:21
Did the rubber arm have a quality watch on it? :D

Unfortuntely, this proved that the Insider program, and schemes like it, don’t carry out enough testing to be valid. Most people use the scheme to get an early look at the new release to talk about it
DeepPan
21:25:12
this is going to highlight the concerns of enterprise when it comes to fast iterations of software

Here’s a marketing angle for the watches - As worn by James Bond, when played by Bob Holness in 1956
DeepPan

You pay £500 on one hit for an Xbox which is sitting in your living room most of your time, or pay for this service either a monthly fee or a per minute price. most people will go for the latter
BigChrisAshley
21:46:57

this is exactly the cloud enterprise price model brought to the consumer market
