From the article: "Next to the Nikkei, only Bloomberg, the New York Times, Reuters, Yahoo, CNBC, the Wall Street Journal and perhaps a few other major financial news sources have similarly generated consistently false reports about the future prospe…

This is what happens when people want more government -- they get more government...

Apple favors their own applications? Whoa, careful Mr. Volach, you almost knocked me over with that feather!

Mr. Dilger's article almost makes me feel sorry for Intel. Almost. What's interesting about Intel isn't that they failed to recognize the corner they'd painted themselves into with the x86 architecture -- it's that they DID recognize, and tried t…

Daniel correctly points out that Samsung has borrowed a lot (by which we mean, nearly all) of its inspiration for its products from Apple. We have a fair idea what Samsung phones would be if the iPhone had not come along, for example. The idea …

"Definers used the NTK Network to disseminate stories hyper-critical of Apple and its CEO Tim Cook." That helps to explain why, perhaps, I've been seeing a fair number of news stories critical of Apple in the tech press, newspapers, and general b…

I'm a long-time Canon shooter and advanced amateur. The R and RP are superb bodies for the advanced amateur and for a pro who needs a 2nd (or 4th) camera body while maintaining Canon EF compatibility. If you are a Nikon or Sony FF mirrorless shoo…

Just ordered an XS to replace a 6S Plus. The screen is virtually the same size. I don't need a 'Max', and I like what I see in the XS over the XR (not that the latter is bad, mind you). I suspect a fair number of people will be like me: a formerly P…

Mr. Dilger writes: However, after the initial holiday quarter, writers at those papers continued printing stories that suggested they'd done some research or observation into iPhone X sales and found problems with ongoing demand. They also created r…

For all the sniping and complaining, lost is one simple fact -- it's a market economy. "Value" is something I define differently than (say) lewchenko. He might not see the value of an iPhone X or XS or XR, but I do. Which of us is right? We both ar…

I do wonder how it is that Google shareholders didn't rise up in open revolt after the Moto fiasco. I don't care how big a company is or how much money they're making, throwing away $12 billion and then shrugging it off isn't a good look for corpora…

This organizing shell also lets us see why Apple is in some hardware business lines for a while, and then bow out of those lines. Printers? Very useful in the beginning (original Laserwriter got me to buy my first Mac), less useful as time went on a…

One concern: my wife and I have have Macs. We each have a separate Apple ID -- her purchases and mine are separate. I could see doing a family plan iCloud account with 2 TB at $10 a month -- very reasonable for the storage and ease of use, and the t…

A more social question: why does Apple need a substantial tax incentive? They're one of the wealthiest companies in the world. RTP has everything they say they need. So why give them a tax break? I get that Apple WANTS the tax break, and that our fe…

The App Store isn't the only way for a developer to advertise the app. If their app is being "crowded out" in the App Store, perhaps they could, you know, advertise? Buy some ads on web sites, blogs, etc. It used to be that developers had to kno…

Staying within the boundaries that the moderator (fairly) has set, I'll just note that I appreciate Apple's position more and more. Whatever one thinks of Mr. Comey, it's clear that our government and our politics have reached the point where the le…

Mr. Dilger is correct -- a key factor is "customer sat". Apple doesn't need to use its customers as marks for advertising, and Apple has demonstrated in the past that it actually isn't all that good in that world (see iAd, for example). So by discon…

To borrow from a famous past president, Ronald Reagn, “It isn't so much that tech bloggers like Diaz are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.”

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, "the trouble with our tech bloggers is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

A natural gas facility that generates 20 MW of power can be built for about $20 million, or about 1/3 of the cost of solar. That gas could be derived locally from underlying Marcellus Shale deposits. The footprint would be far smaller than 100 acres…
