Title: Apple's News app in iOS 9: All the news that fits, they print? Post by: HCK on June 12, 2015, 09:00:12 pm Apple's News app in iOS 9: All the news that fits, they print?
<article> <section class="page"> <p> When Apple unveiled the News app in the WWDC keynote on Monday, my first reaction was glee. As a past participant in its Newsstand experiment (http://www.macworld.com/article/2841061/how-newsstand-failed-the-magazine-and-what-apple-should-do.html), which is probably the best way to describe it, the News app had several characteristics that made it seem far superior for many purposes.</p><p> By the evening, though, gloom had set in. The News app looks more like yet another push news service—the latest incarnation of PointCast (http://www.businessweek.com/1999/99_17/b3626167.htm) for those with long memories—that delivers what the product’s producer thinks is valuable to you rather than what you necessarily want. It’s sophisticated, but takes choice out of readers’ hands.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2933773/apples-news-app-in-ios-9-all-the-news-that-fits-they-print.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple's News app in iOS 9: All the news that fits, they print?
