In an earlier article didn’t it say Microsoft and other companies also moved there cash through Ireland?  If so why is it Apple that is single handledly put in the spot light? 

Would Apple even repatriate overseas cash if the tax rate was lowered?  They would need some serious incentives.  

I think it’s important to note if this witch hunt started before the Brexit vote or after.  And if that has any bearing on this. 

It’s not a shame on Apple for seeing a legal opportunity regarding paying less taxes and taking it. Companies get tax rebates all the time. 

While this has has nothing to do with amerI ca, I do remember reading an article on here about someone wanting the  American government stepping in to quash this so that American can get first. Dibs on apples Money.

A follow up to my previous post. Huawei just let slip some information by accident.

http://www.techradar.com/news/huawei-just-accidentally-revealed-the-mate-10-chipset-early-at-ifa-2017

They are claiming the world's first mobile AI processing unit.

The official presentation isn't until tomorrow but if what is being claimed actually works on the device, they may have upped the ante a little. This makes me think Apple might also have something along those lines for their big reveal on the 12th.

The cloud is always going to be more powerful.

Awh, are people still on this ? If you don't like the landlord's rules move, the Chinies people need to deal with theire government, every free and democratic nation got that freedom by fighting for it, they can't expect foreign business entities to do it for them, every freedom and privilege enjoyed anywhere was paid for with blood, this is why its treasured so. Lets hope that the "Asian spring" is coming in the not too distant future

It isn't as easy or clearcut as you make it seem. If you consider the landlord's rules to be illegal in some way, what should you do? Just move out and let things stand?

But it is though, it is the landlord's house after all, that he built with his own hands, if he says no loud music after nine, that Goddamn it no fucking loud gangster rap after nine end of story, you can't just say "but the neighbors allow music till twelve" screw that, go live there then. If Apple was doing something even vaguely resembling lawbreaking the Chinese government would be the one going after Cupetino, what this is is disgruntled citizens fighting a dictatorship indirectly through a tech company. I mean Apple cant fight the Chinese ruling party, Apple ins't Chinese, and that be the quickest way to get the iPhone banned in China, then what ? 

Compered to the oppressive regime they live under App Store regulation should seem like heaven, and let's not foget Apple ain't the only game in town, there's plenty of hot competition, if a developer is so unhappy then how bout he invents his own revolutionary tec and a store then implement whatever rules he wants. I understand that fairness is important and commendable but it isn't owed to anyone, not in this situation.

My suspicion is that China wants to be the next North Korea with their money and expertise they figure they can do it better, then, who ever rules can rule forever

Most of my work involves word processing and research. Over the past few days the weather has been in the mid 30s to low 40s celsius, and the GPU temperature has stayed in the 60s (as shown in the screenshot).

I rarely game, but came across a title last night that I interested me. I checked the GPU temperature after about 30 minutes and saw that it had reached 80-something degrees. I was a bit surprised that the iMac's firmware did not ramp up the fans substantially to bring that number down a bit. I manually increased the speed of all three fans by a little over 50% and managed to get the temperature down to the mid-40s — even while gaming.

Since the iMac is not particularly aggressive about keeping things cool, I can see how certain types of users would have GPU failures very quickly. From now on I will keep my eye on the GPU temperature whenever I am doing any graphics intensive tasks. I have also started putting the computer to sleep more often when I am not using it. For years I always believed that the sleep-wake process was harder on machines than merely letting them run nonstop, but perhaps the nature of electronics has changed somewhat in the past 20 or so years.

My machine will only boot into safe mode and I cannot source a new part from Apple where I live. I have seen new parts for sale online in Canada but at over $300. When prices come down I will get one and bring it back from the dead or get it reflowed if I can find someone reputable locally.

Can your machine be put into target display mode in its current state?
