Phil Schiller warns third-party app stores are a risk to iPhone users
Whether or not it’s a risk is irrelevant. People should be given the choice, and let them pick what they want. If they end up picking a less secure option, and something bad happens as a result, that’s on them.

IBM seeing great returns on over 277,000 Macs and iOS devices issued to employees
There is so much wrong with that.eightzero said:I've been of the opinion that companies and governments that employ tech workers (individuals that use computers as a production device) should cease employing IT professionals. Just maintain a wifi network and printers. Then give all employees some sort of allowance to buy their own machine. When it breaks, they have to pay to fix it. If it never breaks, they keep the difference. Simple economics will solve this problem neatly. People care about their property, and will participate when they have a personal interest in the outcome.

Apple's Cook calls $1 trillion value 'milestone,' says result of corporate values
crowley said:
There weren't any companies worth even close to $60bn in 1917. The first U.S. company to top a single $bn was US Steel, and that was in 1903. That's equivalent to about $30bn when inflation-adjusted.mr.wilsyn said:$1 Trillion dollars isn't quite as impressive when adjusted for inflation. In 1918, five generations in the past it equaled $60,000,000
By 1917 (presumably not that different from 1918), U.S. Steel was still the most valuable company in the USA, but it still only had a market cap of $46.4 inflation-adjusted.
$1tn is very impressive.
$60,000,000 = 60 million, not 60 billion. Not that it matters to me ... just that it seems you went to all that trouble to Google and all, which suggests a level of pride in accuracy to me. So, I thought I’d help out a bit. I’m also not sure if the person you quoted meant to actually type $60,000,000. Maybe they meant to type $60,000,000,000? In which case, you’d probably be right ... but again, it doesn’t matter very much to me.

FBI & other US branches join Justice Department in Cambridge Analytica investigation
This whole fiasco reminds me of that James Bond movie with Pierce Brosnan in it. The one where a worldwide media conglomerate made a play for world domination. Damn ... what was the name of that one?

A year with MacBook Pro: reviewing Apple's 2017 pro laptop models
I liked this article. Thanks! With that said, I especially liked how it lacked an overuse of the phrase, “with that said” or one of its many variations.
That said, I recently read an article on another tech site, and it was about the same size as this one. However, it used either “with that said,” “ with all of that said,” or “that said” 21 times.
With all of that said, thanks.
