I wonder how much the Kia name will affect the whole image of the Apple car. Kia may be a fine producer of cars, I don’t know, but I believe it”s seen as producing inexpensive cars for the lower sector of the market. Even if Apple has full control of every aspect of the design and manufacture, will people be able to disassociate it from the Kia brand?

To be honest, I don't think Kia making cars for Apple will somehow tarnish Apple's image. Apple has to find a partner to produce cars so I don't think it makes a difference if they use Kia, Ford, VW, or any other brand. If people think using Kia somehow tarnishes Apple's image, they have no clue how the auto industry works. I'm sure a lot of people don't even realize makers such as Ford, BMW, Mercedes, etc are sourcing parts from the same supplier.

Great, now I can get cushions and wear them under my hat until I get my AirPods Max sometime in March... 😂

As I type this, Amazon has both the silver and space gray in stock.

Just great.

Sounds like something that Putin would do, considering his pal (crony?) has been voted out of office.

What I want to know is: Was this a zero-day, or was treasury behind on their maintenance?

If behind, someone needs to pay with his career.

Microsoft to DOJ: You should look in Apple's app store.

Me: You should look into the vulnerabilities using Microsoft software exposes you to.

Haha. Please. Do you really believe all hacking that goes on around the world is directed by the countries the hackers reside in? There are enclaves of workaday hackers all over the world, in addition to the high-level hacking work being done by people in government.

The reports say that it was a sophisticated attack and likely state directed. And that Russia is the main suspect. But since everyone knows trump would never stand up to Putin, we should expect knee jerk denial by trump and his followers on those points. 

It's either China or Russia I'm guessing. Your Trump comment is ridiculous. Trump sold lethal aid to Ukraine, something that angered Putin and something Obama didn't have the balls to do. So is that not standing up to Putin?

I predict a record number of 4K TVs will soon be sold.

Out of curiosity I was trying to find 4K adoption rate numbers. As of June 2018, 31% of all households in the U.S. had a 4K TV. In 2018, 60% of the TV's sold in the U.S. were 4K. I'm guessing it's probably pushing, if not over, 40% now.
