Vietnam is a totalitarian, communist dictatorship experimenting with capitalism, JUST LIKE China. The same issues Apple is experiencing in China could easily repeat themselves in Vietnam at the whim of the governments of Vietnam or the U.S. as described in the article.

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that these neckbeards cobble together a gizmo that nears the performance of the Mac Pro with similar specs. [...]

You’re calling Linus a neckbeard? Does that term not actually require a neck beard anymore??

What? Is he some kind of techie god to you? He’s a YouTube asshole who makes money creating videos in which he claims to be an expert on everything. He claims he can always do it better, faster than anyone else and his target is usually Apple. Why Apple? Because assholes like him make lots of money trashing Apple on YouTube.

I can see carriers encouraging iPhone users to switch to Samsung over this spotty crap.

Maybe this will cause Apple to adopt 5G pre-maturely.

Please provide evidence of Apple adopting a technology or feature pre-maturely because it was pressured by a competitor’s product. Where do you people get these dumb ideas anyway?

Alex Lindsay, founder of Pixel Corps, formerly of ILM, said the new Mac Pro is exactly what he wanted on last week’s MacBreak Weekly podcast. He also predicts that Apple will sell every Mac Pro it can make when it becomes available. Indeed this machine is for high-end professionals and not for the headless Mac tower w/slots types who moan and groan about it on a daily basis here.

Another report said the vehicle for this and many other malware is infected Adobe Flash updates. I get them all the time on various websites, even well known and popular ones. Sometimes they actually download themselves.

1. Don’t EVER accept a Flash update from anywhere other than Adobe. In fact don’t use Flash unless you absolutely have to.

2. Make sure your browser settings prohibit launching any download automatically.

3. If it smells fishy it probably is. Don’t open it.

But people being people... well you know.
