"Also, previously, China companies paid about 30% in tariffs importing goods into the US. They will have to pay 10% under the new deal if the President's post is fully accurate." Should this say "from the US" instead of "into the US"?

eightzero said: The intro piece with tim and craig was funny. I'm not a F1 fan (not even exactly sure what "F1" is other than a car race) but was actually the best part of the whole keynote. YMMV. (!) I do sort of chuckle a bit when people …

Another terrible headline. Nowhere does TC say "it's about art" as if Apple is throwing money away to support film makers. From the article: "I don't have it in my mind that I'm going to sell more iPhones because of it," Cook explains. "I don't th…

It infuriates me when opportunists engage in criminal acts at times like this. No matter what the underlying protests are about, events like this negatively impact the perception of those protests. In this case, you know for a dead certainty that th…

Good luck to Apple to make a cheaper model if the 25% tariffs (or worse) persist.

Apple's Phone app for macOS 26 means you don't need to pick up your iPhone to take a phone call while you're hard at work on your Mac. This is already the case, isn't it? I get that this new dedicated app offers a lot more functionality, but we've…

(Apologies for posting this here, but I couldn't find an article about the keynote itself, so this is close.) Big thumbs up to the performance at the end of the keynote. It was funny, corny, and sincere all at once. I don't know who the singer is, …

How the deal worksUnder Californian state law since the 1950s, firms have to pay 7.25% sales tax. And then the state gets 1%, with which it can choose to incentivize firms to stay. This part is incorrect. From the linked article; "The agr…

This project seems especially pointless. Is anyone shocked that a $10,000 computer with half a gig of ram that runs a flavor of Unix can run Doom? I'm sure it was a slog and took some clever hacks, but it's not surprising. Get it to run on my tita…
