I did not see anyone mentioned that Chinese company Tencent owns 40% of Epic. Tencent also owns WeChat, which is threatened to be banned by Trump as a known CCP China's propaganda tool. It's complicated.

Ciprol said: Never forget that Trump at a previous face to face meeting with Xi of China, asked Xi's help in keeping him elected but Xi refused (see John Bolton's disclosure). These are now the payback against China. As a US commentator said,…

The biggest advantage of Apple's App Store is that it simplify process all around, not just the purchasing process. Users can pretty much trust everything in the app store without worry about fraud or scammers. Before App Store, we spend a lot mor…

My opinion is that technically Foxconn, Pegatron, and Wistron are all public Taiwanese companies. China CCP in recent years have favored "Chinese" companies with strong ties with the government and do not allow Taiwanese companies to "leave". So I…

So this explains the questions about eGPU. eGPU's will be supported even as Apple not to offer AMD/nVidia discrete GPU's on the motherboard.

So basically the new MBP will be an iPad without touchscreen with build-in keyboard and more ports. Memory, storage and would be all packed on a few large chips on a single small motherboard. It will be thin, light, with battery lasts a whole w…

I suspect Apple has always been looking at 3 to 5 years ahead. This means Apple slowed down the adoption of Intel processors in the last several years to divert all engineering resources to prepare this transition. We will likely to see new Macs w…

Very interesting. Apple just killed the Hackintoshes that runs on cheap Intel PC's. With custom silicon, Apple can now put GPU and all circuits on one single chip, it all make sense to have iPad pro as the primary "computer" now that Microsoft Offi…

Why are companies pretending that they don't know about us? I mean, Google, Facebook, Twitter, are selling our information to advertisers but they don't know where we've been? Taiwan and South Korea are doing contact tracing by subpoena cellphon…

The biggest issues was that people forget how Huawei got in trouble with the US government in the first place: 1, Huawei has this win at any cost, including steel and copy any IP without paying a license fee. 2, Selling to Iran. When caught, form …

This is just stupid. The carriers are already tracking every cellphone signals and GPS locations, they have to know where you are to complete the calls! All you have to do is to get the phone's IMEI number and do a big data query, and just use pus…

I'd like to see Apple do some joint ventures with TSMC to build fabs further away from China. It doesn't even have to be the US -- put them in Japan or Germany -- but can we get a little distance from the red army please?TSMC is in Taiwan. It does …

Like I said before, if Apple makes an ARM core running x86 instructions, it minimize the transition problems for existing apps. I'm not saying this is what Apple will do, but If I were Apple, this is what I would do, hear me out on this: 1, x86 in…

Great for school kids. I'll take 2.

The Wisconsin factory can't even produce PPE and Foxconn is helping Apple making face masks and face shields anywhere but the US. Just sad.

This is what I was waiting for. For me 16" MacBook Pro was too big. 12" MacBook was light, but the keyboard really sucks. 13" MacBook Air is under powered. 13"/14" MacBook Pro with 16 GB of memory and at least 512 GB SSD is my preferred configur…

If I were Apple, I would make a x86 instructions compatible processor with ARM core. Modern Intel processors used the same technique with RISC-like core and x86 microcode. This way, no transition issues, if not 100% compatible with existing softwa…

IBM used to have this pressure sensitive "nub" in the middle of the keyboard as the mouse, it took me a while to get use to it and I did not like it. The patent looked interesting but seems too confusing for the average users.

It took China 30 years to get to where it is at today. India has a large population, it will get there eventually.

I don't think Woz was joking. Most people in the US don't understand how Communist China works: information started as rumors, then a few people were detained for spreading rumors, then the central government realized the situation was dire and ex…
