@sog35 Samsung is Samsung's #1 supplier and customer. And Samsung has plenty of customers other than Apple and itself. Some of whom are other suppliers such as those who sell components to Apple but then turn around and have Samsung manufacture the…

On one hand, Apple sells more iPhones in a month than Echos have sold in their entire lifetime. When you add to that the iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and even go back to the pretty much obsolete iPod, the idea that a platform that has sold billions of dev…

I think the real issue is who cares? Amazon makes almost not profit on these sales. Since there is no real eco system not sure if it really matters. I cheeped out and bought a fire tablet for my son who is 5 and it broke within 4 months, Never d…

Don't know if I would get Google Cardboard for anything more than a stocking stuffer. Google is shifting all future VR efforts to Google Daydream, which is designed to compete more directly with the likes of the Samsung Gear VR and the HTC Vive. Net…

Consumer Reports is not into the "clickbait" thing. Also, they have no reason to target the MacBook Pro, which accounts for a very small percentage of PC sales. Note: this same fact is cited by an oped "No, Apple did not switch to USB-C on its new M…
