"low performance change was cited as the M1's "turbo boost" being "really terrible,""
How can they call something that does not exist terrible? Seems like they missed how the M1 Max is meant to behave.
Also weird is that when they first tested that machine a few months ago, the Cinebench score was above 12300, just like most other cinebench scores out there, so one would assume that there isn’t really any advantage, on the contrary.

Actually it does! Take a good look at why the fund exists and how Norway is socially organized. 

"high-end M1 chips"
seems weird that Apple would take 1 year to ship new MacBook Pro with just some new version of the M1, when it already has new CPU cores ready to use...
Just imagine that the new A15 iPhone SoC will almost certainly have better single core performance than the M1 in many tests.

A bit hard to believe this growth is real! IDC probably made some sort of mistake, especially when see that it projected a 20% decline in Apple’s sales in the 2nd quarter, while Gartner projected 10% growth. This kind of big swings don’t make any sense.

I'm not worried about Norway's citizens I'm concerned about trillion dollar petroleum companies polluting the earth.

The fund is not an oil company!

what a cheap shot. It almost seems like she believes that every republican is like Donald Trump
Having said that it does seem probable that Tim Cook’s fundraiser was a way to appease the republican party after snubbing the party convention because of Trump

99,9% sure it is fake!
The screen at first seems so bright and yet there isn’t any light reflected by the hand when it partially covers the screen. Also shadows seem to dim the screen, something not expected.
It is also very dubious that someone would already have an iPhone 7 with iOS, since iOS 10 isn’t finished yet and factory devices use the SwitchBoard version of iOS which doesn’t look like that

There are still a lot of people with old iOS versions. I hope that Apple doesn’t through out apps that people can still use on those devices

There is no such thing as demand access to encrypted communications under some circumstances.

Once there is demand access than nothing is encrypted.

This politicians are so stupid. If this law passes the terrorist and criminals will just use 3rd party encryption which is widely avaliable. And only the innocent will suffer then.

In fact making the common person unencrypted will lead to MASSIVE cyber terror. Its exactly what the terrorist want.  They want the common population to have no encryption.

That is not really true. You can have encrypted communications with third party access, that is how Apple’s iMessage and others used to work. What you wouldn’t have was a guaranty of privacy because Apple would have a key for the encrypted communication that could be use for a "wiretap".
With that said I really doubt this would be effective against terrorism.
