  • Apple will start collecting 'Netflix tax' in September

    The government loves hiding taxes in small bills that add up over time. You are foolish to explain away the overreaching taxation by government as necessary to fix pot holes and put out fires. There is massive waste in government spending.

  • Apple pays record $100,500 to student who found Mac webcam hack

    This discovery is certainly worth more than $100k. I have no clue how Apple values a discovered hack but given the potential exploits of this hack I’d say it is worth closer to $1 million than $100k.

  • Otterbox launches Premium Pro line of charging accessories

    It would be nice if there was an emphasis placed on energy efficiency and not just power output. The author should be asking these vendors to supply efficiency ratings with their products otherwise articles won’t be published about their new devices.

  • BMW CFO says he sleeps 'very peacefully' in face of Apple Car threat

    1. Tesla doesn’t generate profit from building cars. Their recent Bitcoin investment has yielded more profit than selling EVs. 2. Each car Tesla sells is a money looser. They are however making money selling carbon offsets. How long that can last I don’t know. 3. Tesla is as much a software company as they are a mechanical car manufacturer. Their software is their secret sauce that no one is even close to competing with. Integration of AI in the car as well as in super computers behind the scenes is unique and powerful and gives them great advantage. 4. Tesla should have outsourced physical production to a manufacturer who has been building cars for decades. Design the car, build and integrate the software but leave manufacturing to others. Even Elon Musk admits “production is hard.” I don’t see the advantage of vertical integration at Tesla. 5. Apple is as much in love with the physical design of their products as they are with their software. How many times do you hear the word “beautiful” at one of their events? They want their own physical platform. Just have someone else build it. And don’t fool yourself (Apple) into thinking the auto industry is as straightforward as you think it is.
