Apple Finds Its Next Big Business: Showing Ads on Your iPhone (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-08-14/apple-...)

[1-6]

Steve Jobs would have started Next2 by now

from nearly 2 years ago. where are the ads?

[api]

I have yet to see one.

Not saying Apple isn’t vulnerable to the siren song if the ad industry and its relentless drive to ruin everything, but MS is quite far gone.

What point did you want to make? They discontinued iAds. Did you just find the first google result for karma points?

The original quote [1] is nuanced. This claim is trivially true.

Microsoft is a company that says 'yes' to every feature request with no regard for how it comes together as a whole. "Everything and the kitchen sink" is not a bug, it is their MO. They don't shy away from it.

Courtesy of Jobs and Ive, I actually think Apple has pretty bad taste. When Microsoft does hardware, it's usually quite nice and unique.

[soared]

Agreed - iPhone ux is incredible but design is perpetually inoffensive and meh. On the other hand, Microsoft put fucking fabric on their laptops and it’s amazing.

[throwmeback]

There's something utterly amusing about posting Steve Jobs quotes under M$ critique and vice versa.

Says nanny. Sorry Steve. I need computer / OS combo to serve my needs. Not to admire. In my opinion with all their flaws Windows fares better and is more versatile for what I do. And Linux runs my business.
