From my understanding of the climate change issue is that we don't know enough about the problem to devise a reasonable plan to stop any negative outcome: I read a little article written by a climate scientist (his name escapes me now); He basical…

Completely agree, while these tech companies may have an edge on the building the "brains" of a self-driving-car; the actual car these brains will go into will be mostly the same as any other car; and cars are HARD to build in mass; millions if n…

I think, being that apple makes such a hefty margin on their devices, apple should be including some of the AppleCare features with their products. Maybe not accident replacement, but something like 1 year support, either phone/in store and 1 year …

By My Calculations Apple sold about $1.35-1.5 BILLION of Apple Watches. In the year ago quarter, before the Apple watch launch, revenues in the "other" category were at $1.9B and had been on a downward trend of approximately -10% year over year. …

I cannot understand why $40/month is out of the question. I work at a retirement home and we provide cable service to our ~350 units; I deal with Channel Content wholesale all the time. Lets say Apple wanted to make at least $10 per month per …

There appear to be some minor differences in the wording as compared to the federal law, such as including the explicit definition of a person to included non-human entities, however, the federal law states "persons" [the legal fiction] as well, …

The issue is that this law DOES NOT do what you are arguing against! First, this law has ALREADY existed for 20 years, both in federal law and in other states. The federal law was signed into law by a democrat, Clinton. What this law does is stipul…

Reports like this actually can hurt the cause they supposedly support. While this report does bring attention to the poor working conditions in China and other places. Framing as though it's the cause of one company (Apple) belittles the problem a…

For all they naysayers here: I read a review of the apple watch that was published by a "watch guy" from his review; the apple watch is really nice, it's built as well, if not better that most/any $350 and up watches. Supposedly the watch straps a…

I also don't like the "app needs to be in the foreground" aspect. What should happen is: I install a new "home automation app" when I open it it should say "Hey, I see that 'Other app xxx' is controlling your garage door, I can also control th…

The device seems okay but I am worried that these features will feel gimmicky. The Firefly software seems pretty good, but not really tied to the hardware, it easily could be released for any other device (and may even eventually be release…
