Hopefully, some of it is better than their cringe-inducing reality TV show &quot;Planet of the Apps&quot; wherein app makers are judged Shark Tank style by people who know absolutely nothing about technology. For the fortunately uninitiated, the hosts are Hollywood B-lister Jessica Alba, pop musician Will.i.am, snake oil saleswoman Gwyneth Paltrow, and VaynerMedia founder and CEO Gary Vaynerchuk. This garbage is all over iTunes and it&#x27;s hurting the Apple brand.<p>More info: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;planet-of-the-apps-review-apple-tv-show-2017-6&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;planet-of-the-apps-review-app...</a>

Johnny-come-lately but with a big bank roll... Might work this time but I have doubts old Sony execs can pull off anything on par with GoT or HoC. We&#x27;ll likely just get more warmed-over remakes of successful old TV shows from the 80&#x27;s and 90&#x27;s.

Apple, the company that can&#x27;t even draw a gun (emoji), is going to compete in Hollywood? Anyways here&#x27;s to hoping we end up with at least a few good shows out of all this competition.

Ugh, sorry to be that guy but I can&#x27;t remember the trick to get past the paywall and the web link doesn&#x27;t seem to be working. Can someone remind me how to access the article?
