  • Apple manufacturer Quanta seen riding high on 'Apple Watch Series 3' coming this fall

    A third gen watch won't happen until next year.

  • 'Baby Driver' cut in real time with Avid on Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro

    Edgar Wright's best performing movie to date! I still prefer the comic book energy and creativity of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and the one that started it all off for me as a fan of his work, Shawn of the Dead.

  • Apple Park drone footage may be ending, with security forces seeking to cease flights

    The vlogger Casey Niestat was/is under investigation by the FAA for flying quadrocopters in New York City (he said so in one of his recent videos). There is likely ample video evidence in these flyover videos for the quadropcopter pilot to be similarly investigated or charged.

  • Apple opens first China data center to comply with country's cybersecurity rules

    "...certain data protections for Chinese citizens."

    LOL! Those "data protections" may include having every single bit of data recorded for later use at your trial in China.

    Whenever I go to China I bring no computing or communication devices of any kind and I definitely do not log in to any accounts requiring passwords either.

  • EU hammers Google with record $2.7 billion antitrust fine for illegal search manipulation

    The European elites continue to demonstrate that they have no real understanding of free markets and competition. 
    You could not be more wrong. Google has a virtual monopoly of search (>80%) so they have to play fairly. Promoting their own products and services above those of a competitor is an abuse of that market.  That gives a freer and more equal market than otherwise.

    Google has a large share of search because people are lazy and not well informed. That doesn't make them a monopoly. Plus, idiots voluntarily choose to buy cheap Android phones instead of Apple, so they are 100% responsible for contributing to the fortunes of Google.

    This is just the same old EU blackmailing tactics they've pulled on Apple, Microsoft and others.
    It's just a matter of perspective. 

    You think that the American dream is real and that customers have a choice. I think you are naive, that the American dream has been shown to be a lie, that the US are a big scam, that consumers only have the illusion of a choice and that big companies prey on their consumers. 
    All complete hogwash. No one is forced to buy or use any of the services in question here.

    Incapable EU politicians are poison to free markets.
    And here you prove that you do not get this at all. 
    This is not about end consumers. It's about competing companies that want to appear in search results and can't compete with Google Shopping's prominent placement. 
    Look, I know you're downvoting my replies. It still doesn't help your position.
