Good piece. I think Apple's threats are not so much in the technology or media realm, but political. It will be interesting to see how Apple deals with the political hoops in China, US and India.

This is why I think people need to create value in whatever job they perform. The $15/hr minimum wage for fast food workers for instance.....many franchises are saying our labor is not worth $15/hr and I'll replace it them with kiosks. Some Wendy's …

I think it's quite ironic how people will PAY amazon for these continuous listening devices that let amazon increase their already large data file on you. However, if you even mention the slightest weakening of encryption to help thwart the almost m…

Cook better be very careful with his dealings in China. China has already asked for backdoors, and I could see them asking for a similar database on the muslim uighurs. If he bends in China and Trump notices, it will not end well.

Not sure why you'd use those over your normal debit card in apple pay. I don't know anyone that uses square cash, much less keeps a balance on it.
