Amazon already owns Ring.

And the trip down the slippery slope of government control over personal computing devices begins. This may not seem terribly bad as it only requires Apple to offer up certain apps. But you can be sure the Russian government will want Apple to repor…

The main motivation for Apple and Google to restructure commissions is fear of government regulations. And unlike the old retail approach to selling software the many restrictions placed on developers is another issue. The in-app purchase rules a…

1. Tesla doesn’t generate profit from building cars. Their recent Bitcoin investment has yielded more profit than selling EVs. 2. Each car Tesla sells is a money looser. They are however making money selling carbon offsets. How long that can l…

A bigger issue is Quality of Service. Outright bandwidth definitions are meaningless without a QOS component. I have 200 mbps service from Spectrum but the QOS was insufficient for me to work from home and see patients using Zoom for telemedicine …

An Apple car manufactured by Renault certainly would be no worse from a quality perspective compared to what Tesla has been producing. I know nothing about the Renault EV platform but Apple may be supplying a platform design/technology and is just l…

The new BEV platforms are nicknamed “skateboards” because they are a flat platform with 4 wheels, battery and motors upon which almost any style of vehicle can be built. Apple doesn’t want to design a new platform from scratch. Though they could p…

I love to see tech giants in a battle. Apple is trying to monetize privacy. Facebook is monetizing its users. Apple revenue comes from its customers. Facebook revenue comes from advertisers. You pay for free services with your data. At least now…

While privacy and control of one’s data are concepts I support, and Facebook and Google are clearly abusing their ability to harvest and sell data, don’t go thinking Apple is being altruistic in their implementation of new features to enhance privac…

The devil is in the details. What the actual regulations will be is yet to be seen. It’s a slippery slope of further government regulation of private industry. If there are going to be new regulations, I would like to see regulations that requir…

Limited provider choices in any geographic area are primarily due to the high cost of installing infrastructure, especially problematic in low population density areas. Comcast and it’s ilk are successful because of the investment made installing co…

When will Intel unveil a long term strategic plan that brings an end to the close-to-50-year old x86 architecture? Microsoft is at risk too with the constraints of an old x86 architecture. Is ARM the best way forward for the industry? I don’t know.…

I have more to fear from the government than I do from Apple or Google. If Google were to somehow monetize this data, which I would object to, the downside for the individual is minimal. Having the government run a central data base capturing your…

Use an Apple TV and all you need is a monitor that has no internet connection.

The notch issue is a first world problem and mostly an aesthetic concern . Take the money that would be spent on eliminating the notch and give me more base memory (at least 128 GB), a bigger base amount of iCloud storage (at least 60 GB) and a hig…

Selling this phone for $399, with the same guts as the iPhone 11 shows you how much profit is baked into Apple’s premium phones. It’s also crazy that Apples premium phones come with a base memory of 64 GB. That’s not a premium configuration. In the…

Apple’s market share is minuscule. Their overall pricing is higher than PC’s. Overall Apple’s products are of a higher quality, but you pay a premium for that. In a recession price sensitivity increases and I would predict demand for all of Apple’s …

I have a hard time believing India can’t supply enough talented labor to produce Apple products. Up until now the biggest reason Apple likes to produce products in China is cost, ie cheap labor. Don’t let Tim Cook fool you when he says labor hasn’…

Saying ARM gives Apple control over the hardware/software stack doesn’t really help me understand the benefits of the switch. If Intel wasn’t missing targets would Apple still be doing this? There’s a bumpy road ahead to make the transition. It will…
