Apple Pay VP Jennifer Bailey keen on cryptocurrency, iPhone as identification
larryjw said:I haven’t heard anything that would convince me cryptocurrencies are viable.
Coin mining takes the energy of a small city, yet they can only handle seven (7) transactions per second.
Cold fusion and cryptocurrencies are have a lot in common. -
TSMC's 7nm process enhancement may keep Apple from using Samsung for 'A12' chip production...
It is really difficult to appreciate how small 7 nanometers is without some comparison. A strand of spider silk is about 7 micrometers wide, a full order of magnitude (1000x) thicker.
7 nm is also about 3 times smaller than the smallest virus.
We take it for granted, but it really is quite amazing that we can manufacture something that small - and smaller! -

'Apple Together' group organizing corporate, retail walkout on Dec. 24
My advice to these employees is, go learn a skilled trade. You can make all the money you’ll ever need and don’t even need to take out a school loan. Get out of retail, it’s a dead end, just like restaurants. Yeah, you might need to get dirty, work outside, in the cold or blazing heat, but in the end it’s an honest living, and skilled trades of all types are in desperate need of younger workers. -

Apple is pouring money into Siri improvements with generative AI
I read a couple of articles about AJAX. The first one said it is run on Google cloud and built with Google’s JAX frame work.The other said that AJAX is Apple proprietary. Which is correct? Or can they both be correct at the same time?Also, does this mean if this is ever implemented into Siri or other Apple software, iPhone users will have their data routed through Google whether we like it or not?And why would Google let Apple develop a competing technology on their own servers? Unless that’s where the millions of dollars are going. -
US DOJ attacks nearly every aspect of Apple's business in massive antitrust suit
This administration has absolutely lost its mind. They are attacking everything about the American economy and industry with endless regulations on everything they can think of. Energy, appliances, the inane EV push. It’s all destructive and must be stopped. They must be utterly defeated at the ballot box and democrats should pay a heavy, heavy price for all this anti-American bullshit. They should never be allowed to run our economy, EVER. I’ll take mean tweets any day over this. -

Apple offers Austin relocation to 121 San Diego employees in office closure
robin huber said:iadlib said:GROSS what a total downgrade and what a cheap relocation offer. Anyone who does that is going to suffer on so many levels. From the out-of-pocket expense of relocating to Texas (WHO EATS PICKLES AT THE MOVIES??) to the future loss of income for homeowners. Homes in CA especially in SD are going to appreciate in value more than TX. Then there's the general lack of progressive laws and thinking. Oh I forgot that you're also moving from a coastal area with the highest happiness quotient in the USA to inland the capital of a state that is anti-LGBTQ, anti-woman's rights, pro-gun, and pro-racist.
Instead of Apple doubling down on TX, they should be looking to eliminate their corporate presence there in protest over the backward laws of the state. Just goes to show greed motivates all.
