 Through its X Labs, Google has already logged more than 1.5 miles on its self-driving car platform, though industry watchers believe the internet search giant plans to license any technology gleaned from the project to a major automotive manufacturer. Musk agrees.

Wow. A whole mile and a half. 

ah, the old "we believe it may contain weapons of mass destruction" angle. Damn it.. He's good.

I wonder how the US government would react if the the country which was asking for back door tool from Apple was Iran or China?

What the FBI wanted Apple to do was a software hack.  With software hacks you can access phones WITHOUT possession.  And with a backdoor you can access MILLIONS of phones at the same time. In your home. IN your bedroom. That is what I'm afraid of.

Why does it matter to you if the FBI can access private data on suspicion of criminal actively ? Why are you "afraid" ?

You can't authenticate WHO is hacking into your phone. That's the challenge.

I've been with AT&T years before the iPhone, and I bought an original iPhone the week it was released. They keep raising their prices for the same (or less) service. If AT&T doesn't lower their prices and become more competitive, my new iPhone 6s will be my last AT&T phone. I'd even be willing to give up my original iPhone grandfathered unlimited data plan.

Been AT&T customer for 12 years until last month.  Completely agree with you.  Its interesting to see that I am not the only one who had enough and has left.  AT&T has no one to blame but their own greed.

Sorry, but they are purposely throttling production. There is no parts shortage.
Cook is the best in the business at this. He knows exactly where he is, what he's got, and where he wants to go.

If they didn't want to sell this, they wouldn't have made it in the first place.

Siri is useless, it doesn't understand simple tasks. I just tested it trying to send an email to myself and it failed to recognise or understand what I was saying in order to complete the request, Google's voice recognition system is miles ahead. Apple need to get of their lazy arse hand get on with it as this is becoming a major component of tech.

Sorry, I didn't understand you. 

Was in Iceland for 2 weeks this past month. I used Apple Pay everywhere. I was shocked.

In other news, AT&T is still overpriced, and their coverage still sucks. Oh, and if you're grandfathered into one of their "unlimited" data plans and you think you're getting a deal, write down your usage patterns, do the math and compare with T-Mobile. You'll be horrified by how much you've been overpaying all these years for inferior service.

as much as I think AT&T greedy... T-Mobile is worse.  They are simply dishonest crooks.  After months of phone calls which kept going in circles,  I had file a BBB complaint on them just to get my money back after I did a trial which only lasted a week due to poor coverage.  Their system can NOT put money back on your credit card, they apply it as T-Mobile service credit.  What good is that if you quit their service?  Its a sham.   Word of advice. Don't buy any equipment from them and Stay away from T-Mobile Post Paid until are 100% sure coverage works with prepaid everywhere you need to use it.  You have been warned.

Isn't this the psycho that was trumping up Hilary?

sheesh. 

Yep, the fake Indian. They'll make a great team.

Hilary's team doesn't have to be great. The way the polls are going, Trump's mouth is Hillary's best asset. Which is sad. If this election is won by the Democrats, which seems to be the trend per the polls for last few weeks; it will not be a result of what Hillary said to inspire people, but instead because of what came out of Trump's mouth.  He doesn't know when to shut up.
