"…rigid margin structure." Yes, Apple means to stay in business by making money on high quality products, financing new research and development. That's a very traditional, successful business model. Imagine if that were more wide spread in the indu…

Must be a thunder-stealing stunt, as they've been working on this for several years. The statement, "When we can overcome some problems for sure, we will launch the product." can be recycled far into the future and cover any manufacturer's product. …

Here, let me right-click on "Xeon," add it to the dictionary and make sure it doesn't spell-check to "Xenon." Ah! That's better…

"…how and why the distributors had access to the database." Could that be because the Chinese government requires access to the database to protect itself from criticism? Cook warned the FBI that could happen here if forced to hack iOS for them in t…

"I do think it's legitimate to own and protect a very specific idea " is accurate, but the fact USPT has invalidated some of their patents says they weren't specific enough while also chalking up yet another example of the need for patent reform in …

"Apple is unlikely to publicly admitt something like that," meaning unlikely to disclose a security flaw until it is fixed. Standard operating procedure for any company. "Admitt" [sic] implies shame and a desire to hide the fact. I won't project tha…

I'm still using an Early 2011 17" MacBook Pro, 2.3 GHz i7 that came with 8 GB RAM and a 750 GB HD, and I have a second monitor. The MBP17 now has 16 GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, along with the original 750 GB spinner as additional internal storage. I use s…

Let me see if I have this right: Chinese manufacturer, possibly with state encouragement (or mandate), builds IoT devices with a GRIEVOUS security flaw, distributes them to US citizens convinced cheaper has to be better, then we're set up to have ma…

Everybody assumes Apple is like SameSong and others that are chasing market share at the expense of everyone else, rather like Balmer's Microsoft of the '80's. To use cars as an example, Ferrari and other low-volume high-value brands could give a fl…

Didn't something like this happen to "the colonies" back in the 1700's with the British Empire setting the taxation rules? Look how that turned out.

Soli said: I'm reading this is the first time this sort of access has been done on an iPhone, but I recall JailbreakMe from 2011 allowing for a jailbreak by simply going to a webpage. What am I missing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jailbrea…

Out of one side of their mouths, the FBI wants to weaken encryption for all of us, but out of the other side: http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/03/15/man-pleads-guilty-in-celebrity-icloud-hacking-case-admits-phishing-scheme (On the iClout / Gmail…

"We're not paying attention to the federal judge or the state judge" —because those judges are trying to be above the law!

Okay, so if overseas labor costs are estimated at $5 and moving to the U.S. would quadruple that, then we're only talking about $20 in labor costs here. I've read elsewhere the real issue is build response time and availability of engineers in the U…

Yup, I have it on my 17" Macbook Pro, and also have 8.1, but only use them rarely. Microsoft still gets to count them, of course. I use them to test web pages in Edge and IE, so I can suggest to PC complainers how much software to download to bring …
