Quote: Apple could, and probably should get all the licencing cheaper than buying the chips, and integrate it into the A9 or whatever they end up calling it, That works with Standards Essential Patents where the holder is obligated to make th…

Quote: I must be missing something... when did Apple beat Intel in mobile chips? Yeah, kind of a click-bait headline, but we're here—so it worked. Quote: Apple makes great chips and all, but "beating Intel" implies others choose A-series p…

Quote: 90% is not equal to "literally ALL" for all values of 90%. Not for pedants, clearly. However, I should indeed have typed "virtually" as opposed to "literally."

Quote: There are plenty of honest arguments against Google's business model, so why do so many lie like this? What's the lie? Google, literally, charges other people for access to you based on the proclivities you've exhibited to them. That's…

Quote: Man, I wish they'd do an "I'm iPhone. And I'm Android." promo. It's not even an iPhone vis a vis Android thing. How many people are using Gmail and/or other Google services on their iOS device and still serving up their life's datastrea…

When Apple enters your business space they call it getting "Sherlocked." I guess when Apple leaves your business space they'll call it being "Apertured."

I think some people misunderstand what "outed" means. Tim Cook doesn't talk about being gay, but I don't think he's ever denied it. Also, I've I don't think I've ever heard Phil Schiller or Craig Federighi talk about being straight. I don't think Ap…

Yep, the WWDC keynote had so many gaps and so much obvious padding that they were clearly trying to fill time left over due the dearth of new features and announcements. Seriously though, that keynote could have been three hours and people would s…

Apple "acqui-hiring" a Beats executive with strong music industry connections is one thing. But buying the whole company is another. I think in the end this may play out as Apple picking up a high-powered executive, ala Angela Ahrendts, not a Beats …

Oh, the irony of billionaire CEOs who colluded to fix wages calling it "extortion" when they get sued for it.

I wonder if, at least part of, this acquisition isn't a subtle FU to Carl Ichan, Apple gadfly and large Nuance shareholder. I'm sure Tim Cook said "why buy the cow, when we can get Novauris for [comparatively] free?" The fact that it kinda screws a …

Why would Apple want "to keep customers using their service even if that user switching from an iPhone to an Android device"? Apple provides services to support and encourage the sale of their lucrative hardware, not the other way around.
