Dear white Americans: Am I right to presume that when you use the word ‘thug,’ you really mean ‘black man’?

Two billion active devices. Up by two-hundred million from the year before. That is the population of Nigeria or Brazil added every year. It is safe to assume that well over one billion users access their Apple devices each day. That is Coca-Cola-li…

I plugged a few numbers into https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/ 1984, original Macintosh computer, $2,495. In today’s money, that’s $7,127. 2023, iMac computer 24", $1,299. 2018, original HomePod speaker, $349. In today’s money, that’s $41…

Fascinating topic and discussion. I think the litigants have a case, but I’m no law expert. This reminds me of the US courts ruling that a computer loading data in to RAM is technically making a ‘copy,’ and that must be expressly permitted by the co…
