Microsoft China bans Android, demands staff use iPhones
The unspoken concern is security in the OS and all the back doors and hacked components that likely occur in the local versions of Android employed there.It’s a fight against cyber industrial espionage

Apple working out how to use Mac in parallel with iPhone or iPad to process big jobs
Hopefully they’re working out now to divvy stuff up so that you don’t lose efficiency to data transfer. It sounds all nice and good to split 4K/60 renders across your various devices but that’s very data intensive work and just moving all the data wirelessly to the other device could cause you to lose the benefit. Small data sets with complicated processing would benefit more. -
Apple Vision Pro sequel stalls as work on cheaper consumer headset continues
The real market for this is the vertical market. Like AR assisted surgeries and other medical uses as well as non medical vertical markets. They showed Stryker’s initial foray and I’m sure there are others in the medical sphere. Those solutions go slowly as actual surgery and other solutions have to be approved by the FDA and other countries’ equivalents and there is a ton of certifications that need to be done and tons of paperwork for that and it’s a slow process. There are medical uses that aren’t direct patient facing / patient affecting that won’t require the approvals and we’ll see those first. AR assisted planning and stuff that’s mit real time patient procedure based. That sort of thing. I’m pretty sure the Stryker thing shown is like that.Vertical markets will take a while to develop but that’s where AV/AVP will shine.For the average person it’s a toy and novelty. That will quickly wear off. General Spatial computing is a solution looking for a problem in the general populace. It will never be big like the iPhone and Apple Watch and iPad and that sort of thing.But in real estate, interior design, various engineering and sales, and the above mentioned medical and probably many other vertical markets you’ll see lots of cool innovations and uses that make sense.

Jon Stewart reveals the moment things went bad with Apple
Yet another celebrity who has no economic ability or sense.NO, the inflation is not cause by corporate profits. Bigger corporate profits are a symptom of the inflation. When your money is worth less (inflated), the profits of companies will seem bigger because they’re using inflated dollars (or whatever currency). That does not mean the actual economic value of that profit is any more than the profit a year before with a smaller number and pre-inflation.He’s either stupid economically or a shill for those trying to deflect blame away from the politicians who inflate the money supply which leads to the price inflation.Between 2020 and 2023 the money supply in the US was I floated by about 27-28%. Ie the government printed money. Which is the root cause of inflation.Companies usually price as a percentage of cost so if cost goes up prices go up and it will seem that profits go up but only because you’re not adjusting the value for inflation. Ie 20% of $100 is $20 while 20% of $130 is $26. Because pricing is usually based on a percentage of cost the perceived “profit “ is now $26 vs earlier $20 — record profits. 🤦. But that $26 doesn’t buy any more today than the $20 did before. So the profit in real value was not a record profit.

Apple Intelligence inches closer to Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator
So Elon Musk doesn’t get credit for usable EVs then as they had EVs roaming the streets a century ago. Is that how we score it?cg27 said:Um, interesting story, but go back to 1968 when 2001: A Space Odyssey blew everyone’s mind, on several levels, the tech depiction being just one. HAL, tablets (albeit “laying” on a desk since they were 50 years ahead of the tech), etc etc
Let’s not give Sculley any credit for this.
