“Free will” is not a legal defence. Corporations conspiring to create monopolies and other anti-competitive behaviours that are detrimental to markets and consumer interests is a thing. Also, although Apple is siding with Google this time, nothing …

Slow Horses—excellent entertainment. Evocative of the UK that I know and love-hate.

I too need to upgrade my Mac from Intel to the M-series. It’s going to cost an arm and a leg because I want an 8 TB SSD. I’m leaning towards a MacBook rather than a desktop. The choice between 14” and 16” screen sizes is giving me sleepless nights.

“Hey Sri! Play Apple Music One.” I do it all the time.

Great artist. I love her work. My eighty year old mother loves her work too. 😀 Jimmy Hendrix couldn’t sign for sh*t. His songs are somehow even better for it.

AI, in my basic understanding, appears to be a sophisticated copy-and-paste. It gets a query; employs an algorithm to interpret it; searches for answers from existing data (therefore it must have a lot of data, and continually scrape the internet to…

Reciprocity is a feature of international relations. That’s why tariffs lead to “trade wars”. When the US sets tariffs on Chinese goods, China will reciprocate with tariffs on US goods, aiming them at sectors that do the most harm to the US. For exa…

There ought to be a service that teams-up every senior with a gen-Z. Whenever the old-timer gets a call from a “bank” or Apple “security,” the call is automatically transferred to the gen-Zer, who listens to the pitch, and then tells the caller to p…

Once Apple began to build SOCs with soldered RAM and SSDs, I suspect that it made logistics and warehousing that much more complicated. It means that Apple must predict how many PCs of each specification it must manufacture prior to the machines bei…

Good one, Daniel. I always enjoy your perspective. You seriously ought to consider putting your ideas into a book form. Nobody explains how Apple wielded innovation and outsmarted the other tech giants better than you, the details of which, could ea…

Fingers crossed we get a professional Aperture-like photo app from all this. I use Adobe Lightroom, but its current iteration is so inferior in basic usability, to Apple Aperture (from 10 years ago), that it’s like a bunch of cavemen trying to repro…
