    We should take these benchmark results seriously because Apple is stupid enough to release a new product that performs worse than the product it replaces.

    But this isn’t a new product. It’s a testing and development platform. 
    Whoosh!  Here that? That's the sound of missing the whole point. :-)

  • The future of internet liability is uncertain as congress targets Section 230

    I don't know how you have formed your ideas about this but you still have it completely backwards. Repealing Section 230 isn't going to stop, to use your word, "curation" of content by FB and others, it's just going to mean that they delete a lot of content that they now leave up. Individual users would still be "on the hook for their own posts," but anything the "curators" deem to put them on the hook as well, like false and defamatory posts from political operatives, will be removed. Without Section 230 a lot of individual "voices" are going to be muted, but the so called "curators" aren't going to be muted.
    Yes the curators won't be muted.  But now they will be legally responsible for the information that they put on their sites.  Just like any publisher. Because if you are curating a site, then you are a de facto publisher.

    That's all that repeal advocates want.  You should be legally answerable for what you allow to be printed on your newspaper, broadcasted on your TV network, displayed on your highway billboard, and now, posted on your website.

    Seriously, what is wrong or bad about that?

    BMW has 30,000 R&D employees?  Does that include the clerks, secretaries, accountants and custodians in the R&D department?

  • Lawfirm considers suit over iPhone's Touch ID-connected 'Error 53'

    Without a doubt Apple totally mishandled this by pulling the stunt out of the blue and should pay the piper for it.  But to say this is a ploy to promote Apple's repair service is a stretch.  It appears, the only repairs affected are those that tamper with the Touch ID system.  Insisting that any outfit should be able to repair the Touch ID system is like allowing any Tom Dick and Harry to service the local ATM.  Or allowing an unlicensed, unbonded "security contractor" to set up or repair your home security system.  If you do the latter, then you deserve the burglary that happens the next day.
