The verdict is that Apple is correct in throwing Epic out of the App Store for violating the terms of the agreement. Also there is no judgment that says Apple has to allow them back in. Epic does not get its own separate payment store in App Store. …

There is nothing about the construction of EV that is particularly unique or difficult. As a reference, 30 years ago my friend, Robert, who has an engineering background, single handedly took out the ICE engine of a used MG convertible and placed a…

Orwell's 1984 reference is completely wrong. The correct reference should be Animal Farm. Tim Sweeney (aka Napoleon the pig) is urging young kids to fight injustice, when it fact it is a cynical ploy to get the Epic App platform side loaded on the …

Having read the law suit, I think Epic's point is that Apple has an exclusive gateway to iOS which is unfair. Also Epic feels the service fee is too high (despite the fact it is industry standard rate), and in his case, he does not want or need a b…

"That was debunked the last time it came up. The entire world has only a couple million industrial robots at this time. It is extremely unlikely that Foxconn is going to by the equivalent of 1/2 of the number that the rest of the world uses." In…

After 3 years of pressure by their critics, Foxconn has found a solution to workers conditions. They already announced last August that they will be purchasing a MILLION robots by 2014. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/...77016B20110801 R…

Amazon is not fighting for survival. Not even close. Indeed, their stock is doing extremely much better than Apple's over several different time horizons. Get real. Amazon is a web store. It has loyal customers including myself, but they …

People looking for leading technology are a tiny market segment. For example, the 16 month-old iPhone 4 is the best selling single phone out there, and it is in no way leading technology. A better example is the 3GS, which has zero leading technolog…

I think the Kindle Fire will sell well for the price conscious consumer. It is however slower than the original ipad, has little memory, poorer and smaller screen, and lacks a camera. It does not have 3G, and it is saddled with Flash (which has ye…
