Earlier I mentioned that I chose a Merc 3 years ago partly and significantly on account of Merc's inclusion of CarPlay as its default functionality while BMW wanted to charge. With this latest news and at the recent Merc service, they even freely ad…

This is hilarious and sad for a car company that once was on the top of my admiration list. At my last car purchase 3 years ago, it was exactly this arrogance and demand for extra money for CarPlay that made me pick up a Merc instead. Merc provided …

cat52 said: Yeah, I agree... Build more factories in Taiwan, Vietnam, or really anywhere other than China. China's record on the environment as well as human rights is just absolutely dreadful. If I were a US exec, I wouldn't be able to s…

With a national leader that pampers to the ignorant and ignores economic realities, it's not China overtaking but the US crashing itself! If Apple's existing MacPro plant is economically sensible then why would Apple even think about taking the nex…

Installed iPadOS 13 PB2 and now 3 on my iPad mini 4, and I have to say that it's rather nice after a week. (PB2 prior to PB3). It hasn't crashed on me yet and have not found an app with significant issues except for the photo app where it seemed to …

Venezuela's power grid crash is heavily tainted by some American scent too.

Patent law should encourage innovation but at this point in time, it's stifling ventures. With blocking patents like this and many many others, how is any new company to push out a new idea and product? The amount of royalty needed would kill any po…

More Americans need to understand that China is no longer the China you learnt about when you grew up. Even for the Chinese, the country is changing so rapidly that they often get lost in their own city due to massive new constructions and redevelop…

Did Bin Laden and Al Quaeda or ISIS have songs on Apple Music? Any invites to them? Wouldn't that be free speech and music? Seriously, American extra-territorial is going way beyond what's acceptable. Sorry, the Capital Hill and Whitehouse aren't t…

Huawei will be available to receive an urgent order from Apple... LOL! 5G is already being rolled out there in the Far East b/n China and Sth Korea, and here's Apple, the number one US tech company being stuck and unable to compete in this strategic…

Sad and this is how American tech companies starts to fall behind those in East Asia. Guess what, 5G networks have already sprung up there in Sth Korea and China. Although still patchy but they are there and operating. Yes, there won't be a US 5G ne…

As much effort as Apple tries to make in pushing sales in China, its efforts are repeated being undermined by those in the Whitehouse. Can't win when the government isn't behind you, just another collateral damage of Trump's trade and political poli…
