  • HP, Microsoft, Google follow Apple in planning China production cuts

    Yeh!   They keep making things better and cheaper.   Damn cheaters!  Not fair!
    If you actually owned a company and produced a product that was blatantly ripped off and then sold at a cut rate by the Chinese, you’d be furious too. They do this not just to the Apples of the world, but to the small family-run American companies too.

    So we are moving production out of the highest quality, lowest cost facilities in order to support a failing, trumped up trade war?

    As Winston Churchill pointed out:  "Americans always do the right thing -- after they've tried everything else"
    Good grief, everything is about Trump for some of you people. 

    Becoming reliant on manufacturing in a repressive Communist country that is our #1 geopolitical rival, one that refuses to enforce IP rights (have you seen Xiaomi’s new “Mimojis”???) and rips off everything American countries do with impunity, was a bad idea from the start. Shifting away from Chinese dependence was inevitable and is overdue.

  • Best Alternatives to Adobe Illustrator for iOS and Mac

    redhotfuzzredhotfuzz
    The Affinity apps are absolutely stellar. Definitive must-haves for any Mac/iOS user. I wake up at night in a cold sweat thinking about Adobe buying them out at a price they can’t refuse and killing the apps to keep the Creative Cloud dictatorship in place. I can only hope there is some government agency out there that would stop this from happening.

    i do wish Affinity would come out with a Lightroom/Aperture substitute.

  • Google suspends Huawei's Android license, forces switch to open-source version

    Wow, an amazing level of Chinese apologetics/astroturfing going on here today.

    I know it's fun to point to Trump as the source of all U.S./China trade conflicts, but the pure fact of the matter is Chinese business has been a dishonest player for decades, publicly stated by U.S. presidents from both parties, the governments of other Western nations, and by economists across the globe. If you reject this indisputable fact, you're either incredibly naive/uninformed or are paid by the Chinese government to spread their propaganda.

    The message to China is incredibly simple: play in the free and open market by following the basic rules and principles and everyone will benefit.

    Looks like a number of other major players are taking action too:
    Chipmakers including Intel Corp., Qualcomm Inc., Xilinx Inc. and Broadcom Inc. have told their employees they will not supply Huawei till further notice, according to people familiar with their actions.

    Perhaps we'll also see Microsoft pull Windows support as well in the coming days.
    And I can see China pull Microsoft, China and other American technology companies from the largest economy on earth. This can backfire spectacularly.
    Second largest economy. Also, what is Chinese technology without American technology? Nothing. They've boosted everything they have from Western companies. I suppose they can decide to close their doors and make Chinese tech wares exclusive to the Chinese people. Methinks that will go very badly for both China's economy as well as the Community Party's iron grip on power. China was a billion-person backwater before it opened its economic doors to the world and will quickly devolve to one if it closes its doors again.
