Apple's largest research lab outside the US opens in China

Nah nonsense on all fronts. Musk is a child of emerald mine wealth who failed upward, until finally his complete idiocy was apparent not just to his long-standing critics, but the world writ large. The man is an imbecile.phils said:
Oh, absolutely! They probably used to have weekly tea and chat about which product lines to axe next. Just because someone shares their opinion, there’s no need to resort to the “Oh, you knew Jobs personally?” comment. Please…StrangeDays said:
lol that event was terrible. No details on the cars, all vaporware and hand waiving. Nobody has androids worth talking about - did you see how terrible they were in attendee vids posted to Twitter? Rock paper scissors was a challenge. Everybody has the same battery limitations.Zirlin said:Tesla just showcased a bunch of walking talking androids. Where's Apple? They have a bazillion dollars for research and development. Why aren't they at the forefront of robotics? I've been waiting years for the day Tim Apple says "Oh yeah, one more thing..." and the Siri android walks out and says "Hello!" to the world. All we seem to get (during those hyper-polished keynotes) are thinner software-gimped iPads, 1mm larger watches and imperceptibly different (and more expensive) yearly iPhones. If Steve were alive today, he'd not have 4-5 SKUs just for AirPods. I'm kinda shocked we don't have AirTag Pros in 5 different colors yet. I have been an Apple fan since the Apple II. I owned the first Mac. Apple has clearly lost it's ability to innovate and Tesla just fed them their lunch.
Oh you knew Jobs well, did you! lol. No. Jobs cut the Mac line down because the company was failing financially and needed more wood, fewer arrows. Not the Apple of today, as market leader it’s more important to deal with “pricing umbrellas”, look it up.
Suckers fall for the Musk glitter but it’s still nonsense.
Yes Jobs did make tough decisions to keep the company afloat, but he also had a knack for reinventing things. The difference is, he didn’t just cut for the sake of cutting; he had a vision. Right now, it feels like Apple’s just… well, lost...
Love him or hate him, Elon is undeniably a visionary. You might not like his approach or think it’s all “glitter”, smoke and mirrors, but the fact that he’s founded several successful multibillion-dollar companies—like SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal, and OpenAI—suggests he’s clearly onto something.
Being a “visionary” is rather effortless, we can all do it. Very easy.
Implementing ideas and bringing successful products to market is much, much harder, and Apple excels at this.
To believe Apple is lost because they don’t have a windbag spouting vaporware nonsense is absurd. They have a vision and they’re working toward it every single year. The products they put in my hands are hands down the best iterations of each category. And no, iteration isn’t a bad world - it’s how apple rolls. Always has.I’m happy to disagree with your perspective. Your tone feels condescending, and there’s a certain “I know it all” attitude, so it seems like there’s not much point in having a meaningful discussion with you.
The fact that he (Musk) comes from a well off family is irrelevant. You're free to think that Elon Musk is an "imbecile" but for a man that has created so many jobs - for example Tesla with 140,000+ employees and SpaceX with 13,000 - it's hard to grasp the basis of your opinion...By your tone it might be envy...who knows... and who cares... You don't have to like him but there is no denying that Musk has driven huge advances in space, electric cars and energy. Whether you like him or not, Tesla, SpaceX and other ventures have fundamentally altered industries. I'd say that for being such an "imbecile" he has done pretty good for himself and others... Now that I think about it, you’d probably say the same thing about Steve Jobs—except that he didn’t come from a wealthy family, which seems to be a “sin” in the eyes of some.Since being a visionary is apparently so easy and effortless, I’m sure you’ve done quite well for yourself, right?

LG's UltraFine 5K Display gets unboxing treatment in new video
I honestly find it amazing that Apple is not continuing with their own Displays. This LG Screen is like when Apple released the first iTunes capable cellphone in partnership with Motorola. It simply sucks. There is no industrial design here whatsoever. No continuation of the Apple experience... it just looks like a generic screen. And to me that is really sad.
