  • Apple CEO Tim Cook congratulates Trump on his second election win

    Tim will do anything to stay in Mango's good graces. Apple can't afford to be on his bad side. With promised tariffs and his other kooky ideas, there's no telling what he'll do as a dictator-in-waiting.

  • Apple shifted orders from Foxconn to Luxshare to assist $275B China deal

    Just pull all manufacturer out of China.  They will use the money we pay them to build their military and attack us at some point in time.  We are stupid to think otherwise.  All they have to do now is claim ownership of an American company in China and take it and all it’s assets and IP over and we are powerless to do anything.  But the shareholders will cry and ask our average American sons and daughters in the military will be asked to step up and ensure the .1 of 1%-ters keep their share.  We should never have enrich our advisories for profit and we never ever should have exported our superior computer technology around the world giving up our supremacy.  Gloomy picture, I know.  But the world is run by a few greedy families and its all legal and very obfuscated.
    This is bs propaganda! Why would a nation busy producing goods for the world plan to attack in the future? Only a hateful person will use this kind of logic. 
    Africa (Zambia, Uganda, etc), South America (Ecuador and Venezuela), Europe (Montenegro) and Asia (Sri Lanka and Malaysia) are burdened with Chinese loans negotiated by corrupt and/or totalitarian dictatorships that have placed them in debt-trap situations. It really should be called Death-Trap "Diplomacy" as the CCP will eventually make demands on oil reserves, airports, sea ports and other sovereign assets. Some of the terms are onerous. Once the defaults are official, it'll be all over for 100s of millions.

  • Apple developers can't escape the 30% toll, because the lawyers took it

    Up to 30% is standard in class action lawsuits (also take into account attorney expenses, some of which will increase once/if the settlement is approved). Overall, the developers are gaining more than just that fund. The other concessions, especially doing away with certain anti-steering policies, will help app developers in the long-run. This suit is one of the reasons that Apple lowered its cut down to 15% for app developers earning under $1 million. So in that sense, the attorneys already earned a right to that 30%. It would be nearly impossible for individual developers to win. Epic's battle with Apple will take years to resolve, no matter how the judge rules in the original suit.

  • NBCUniversal ad exec Linda Yaccarino will be the new Twitter CEO

    She's the CEO in name only. She was hired to sell advertising, period. Regardless of titles, Musk remains the de facto CEO of Twitter and under his control Twitter will continue to devolve into the cesspool he is making it.

    Or, in other words, advertisers will continue to flee Twitter because, really, who wants their product associated with the rants of white nationalist lunatics?
    Above all else Twitter is an adverting platform. Having a successful adverting executive run an advertising company does make sense. 
    Doesn't matter if advertisers won't spend money with twitter because it's such a fucking RWNJ cesspit now (despite how wonderful she *might* be), especially now that they're looking at bringing the advertiser repeller (Fucker Carlson) to the platform.

    As someone else pointed out, what a moron for paying $44B for a platform and turning it into something he could have bought (Parler) for ~$200. Musk thinks he's Midas, the results say the opposite.
    You seem to be reading my comment as some sort of endorsement of Twitter or Musk. It isn't the guy is a complete nob and I'm fairly convinced that Twitter will implode or be sold off at an incredible loss. My point that if your business is adverting then having someone that has success at an executive level isn't a bad choice to run it. She is qualified for the job. Plenty of qualified and talented have not failed to save a floundering company.

    New Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino is a former Trump appointee who follows insurrectionists and right-wing conspiracy accounts and likes their tweets. She's MAGA through and through. The coverage of her should reflect that fact.

  • Apple shifted orders from Foxconn to Luxshare to assist $275B China deal

    China will not only bite the hand that feeds it. It will devour the food giver entirely if the feeder is not smart. Apple should continue to diversify its supply chain/manufacturing partners. It just has to be smart, highly involved in every aspect and never lose sight of its values. Profit isn't everything.

  • Trump vs. Harris: How to watch the September 10 Presidential debate online


    Cesar Battistini Maziero said: You clearly haven't watched a single source that shows Trump talking actual points to think like that. You are being manipulated.

    I'm a lifelong New Yorker. We've known about this punk for decades. His racism, misogyny and scamming precedes his slithering into the White House in 2016. His appeal to racists and fellow grifters has been known for decades. You can lap up his BS word salad all you want. Again, there is a clear choice that doesn't need a debate performance. He won't directly answer questions, he won't stop trying to talk over others and he won't be coherent at all. All his nonsensical ramblings amount to a whole lot of nothing. I'll spend time checking off shows on  my Apple TV+ & Netflix queues.

    It's a sad reflection on the fear-mongering negativity one side is using. Personally, I'm a huge fan of lifting us all up instead.

    Above all: Don't believe whatever comes out of the mouth of a selfishly-guided politician just because he said it. Most are all too happy to promote half-truths, mostly lie, or outright lie in order to "win". I'm sorry, but it is no win for us to be misled, and only find out what we were buying after he's already in office; telling us what we can and can't do without being asked again. They don't care if we agreed. They will be the ones in the power chair and will tell us, dictator style, not ask. 
    Agreed.  Yep, he should focus on aliens eating cats and dogs and Governors executing live babies; you know, real news that's fact-checked. /s
    And a few minutes ago, I believe Mr. Trump announced he will do no more debates, not even in the friendly confines of Fox News with Fox moderators. Probably for the best. 
    When you get your ass thoroughly whooped, you stay away from another beating.

  • Trump vs. Harris: How to watch the September 10 Presidential debate online

    I watched some Apple TV+ & then baseball. Reading friends reactions on social media I didn't miss a thing. Well, besides the "very stable genius" proving once again he is a deranged traitor:

    "I have concepts of a plan"

    "In Springfield, they're eating dogs! They're eating cats!"

    "I saw it on TV!"

    Those are his talking points? At this point his supporters are just as batspit crazy and racist.

  • Ireland plans what to buy first with Apple's $14 billion tax windfall

    Ireland: "Oh no! We have $14B thrust into our coffers." Good for them and their citizens. Let's hope it's used wisely and not for short-term goals or ego-driven monuments.
