Intel 'Alder Lake' chips take same approach as Apple's ARM designs
“ Too little too late”williamlondon said:Too little too late. With all their resources, wtf, why are they so fucking far behind the curve?
This is merely the dying last gasp from a cash cow that became so fat from it’s monopolistic position that it couldn’t move out of its own way.
Now go, you serpent, go tongue kiss and embrace Microsoft goodnight and we’ll all enjoy a double pyrotechnic display unparalleled in the tech world since its Big Bang creation those mere decades ago.
The world will suffer neither of your demises.Don’t agree. 99% of the laptop / desktop is powered by x86. If there is anything Intel has, it’s time. Apple is literally the only company making an ARM SoC that is a threat to Intel & that’s only going to be available for Macs. There’s nothing Qualcomm has right now that comes remotely close to challenging x86.

AirPods Max review: it's not easy to justify the price
Hyperbole much? He / She is obviously talking about the AirPods Max and not Apple as a company. Apple is not infallible. They have had product failures in their 40+ years as a company.cornchip said:inplainview said:Best non-biased review I’ve read here in a long time. For a couple hundred more you could get a ________________. I think Apple has lost their way here. While the integration into the Apple ecosystem is great, the price is simply a money grab and an insult to the Apple faithful.I feel as if I’ve read this exact sentence 1976 times.Apple. Losing their way since 1976™

Apple temporarily halts iPhone production at Wistron after workers riot, pending probe
According to this publication's source, this is what's going on;eriamjh said:If you don’t pay your workers, they might get mad. Angry, even.Apple is probably pretty mad at Wistron."Sources said that the incident was triggered by weeks of smouldering unrest over lack of payments. “The issue has been festering for about 8 to 10 weeks, during which employees were subject to arbitrary changes to their work contracts. About 90 per cent of the 8,000-strong workforce are contractual workers with a promised salary of Rs 16,000 per month for an 8-hour work shift. But over the last few months many were being paid only Rs 12,000 and were also told to work for up to 12 hours a day,” the source said.""People who complained to the management were arbitrarily fired,” the source added. What precisely catalyzed the spontaneous morning violence is still unclear. A source said that most of the workforce dispersed after police allegedly lathi-charged tthe protesters. “Some 60 to 70 employees have been caught by police and have been badly beaten. There is a climate of fear at the Narasapura Industrial Area,” a source said."

Apple debuts $549 AirPods Max over-ear headphones
Don't agreeiMi said:If these were priced more competitively against the likes of the excellent Sony WH-1000XM4, I would have already placed an order but I think Apple has missed the mark on the retail price. They should have been $349-$399 at most. Sure, some Apple products seem to cost a lot more than competition, but once you really look at the specs and compare hardware/software, the cost is more than justified. This does not seem to be the case here.

Apple debuts $549 AirPods Max over-ear headphones
Maybe they're initially selling at $549 because the Apple is supply constrained? If you try to order a pair right now and depending on the color you choose, there's up to a three month wait. Shipping times are into February now.karmadave said:If Apple had prices these out of the gate, at $349, they would be a run away hit. At $549, they will sell only to the most devoted Apple enthusiast. Also, as others have pointed out these would be great for airline travel which ain't happening much right now...
