By all means, let this be true. I’d love for them to present this as a loss leader, thinking it will go somewhere, while they hemorrhage funds and their monetization of their user base becomes even more obvious, not to be confused with their custome…

I'm rather befuddled that Bloomberg hasn't been served an enormous libel suit by now.

Despite it not being ionizing, I wonder how long it would be before some spurious lawsuit or legislation claims it causes cancer, despite it not having the energy to cause those type of replicative errors. That being said, as much as I love my seri…

My running hypothesis is that Apple’s vehicle needs a mature version of the AR and VR work they’ve been working on and driverless functions needs to be operationally optional, not mandatory, as present rumors suggest. Anything less than that and all…

Pretty bad optics for Apple to ban an app and developer trying to keep alive a language of indigenous peoples. So many of these cultures and languages are gone forever. It’s an issue I’m painfully aware of as my own family name is derived from a now…

seanj said: Absolutely stupid idea. The reason why people have faith in national currencies is because there is a bank standing behind it, obligated to honour it; - the Federal Reserve for the US Dollar, the Bank of England for Sterling, etc.…

Developers should have the option of being paid in crypto.

If it’s using some alternate controller, such as a joystick, fine; but if it’s just a posh robotoxi, as seems to be the implication, I fail to see this competing with any established BEVs. Such a design is a corporate or industrial capital investmen…

To be blunt, whomever winds up making what is sounding more and more like a glorified robotaxi really doesn’t matter. This first generation product sounds less and less like a consumer facing product by the day. That being said, I’m hardly the darl…

Given reports that first generation vehicles will have zero provisions for a driver, I think the presumption of luxury vehicle profit margins is debatable, at best. I’m very curious how a luxurious robotaxi & every possible service can pile on t…

From what I’ve seen, such restitution are well established at the interpersonal level within the Korean culture & legal system.

My hope has long been that Apple would use more corrosion resistant materials in any car they ever produce, and the hot rolled steel mentioned in the battery structure portion of the article doesn’t inspire confidence in New England dwelling me. On…

It's behavior like this that encourages me that I made the correct decision to close both my Instagram and Facebook accounts, permanently.

The sheer magnitude of his projection gives a sadly clear picture of his megalomaniacal disregard for the nonpaying fodder he uses to generate marketing dollars.
