Intel's first 10nm 'Cannon Lake' processor with 32GB LPDDR4 RAM support ships
Probably getting close. Apple's A11 Bionic already has nearly twice as many transistors as the Intel quad core i7. Once they can get an X86 emulator to run Windows with minimal performance hit there should be no reason not to switch to ARM.blastdoor said:The rationale to stick with Intel in Macs is getting weaker.

'Secure Data Act' would block US from demanding backdoors in Apple's iPhone
Oh stop it! Police work today is much more advanced than "shoe leather". For example they recently arrested an alleged serial killer/rapist from a 30 year old cold case in California using a DNA database. With surveillance cameras and social media they have a lot more tools at their disposal than the old fashion Dick Tracy note pad.robin huber said:Police, like everyone else, have gotten lazy. If they can’t do an investigation sitting in front of a computer, it’s too much trouble. Good old fashioned shoe leather police work is fading away—too much effort.

Apple in conversations with Goldman Sachs to launch Apple Pay branded credit card
You should be careful using your debit card as your default payment method. Debit cards don't have the same fraud protection that credit cards have. Debit cards are for getting cash out of ATMs.phone-ui-guy said:
That would avoid dumping the money back to your bank just to spend it somewhere that doesn't take Apply Pay. To me it would complete the new Apple Pay ecosystem for personal payments. For me I would rather they credit it to the card I use to fund Apple purchases. Since that is a Visa Debit card, the money would just land in my account where it belongs.

Apple VP Eddy Cue puts Lake Tahoe vacation home on sale for $11.9M
Eddy Cue doesn't really seem to me like much of an outdoor activities type of guy, which is pretty much all there is to do in the Lake Tahoe area. Most of the time that I see him on stage he looks hung over. -
Net neutrality ends June 11, Senate Democrats force last-minute vote
Yeah, but, cable offers unlimited data while cell service charges something like $10 per GB.retrogusto said:I guess the hope is that 5G will make it somewhat easier for companies to offer competing internet services, since they would be able to provide competitive speeds without running a cable to your house.
