  • Apple commits to 100% carbon neutral footprint by 2030

    Nonsense.  Apple is already hooked up to the grid even though they claim that the new campus is 100% green energy.  How about all the mining of minerals and rare earth metals taking place in China and the Congo where child and slave labour are used??
    how about the thousands of tons of concrete alone used in the base of 1 wind turbine non of it possible without fossil fuels??
    How about the millions of birds and bats killed by (many of which are protected and endangered species) wind turbine blades every year???
    what about the 1000s of miles of transmission lines from the turbines??
    How about the fact that you need 100% fossil fuel back up when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine???
    CO2 is NOT a pollutant!!!!  Each of us almost 8 billion people exhale 2 pounds of it every day!
    Biomass is destroying forests globally for wood chips another “green energy “ joke.  Trees that have takes decades if not centuries to grow are being bulldozed over in the name of green energy.
    Green energy is a scam.  Wake up people.

  • Apple investment in Chinese wind farms providing 134 megawatts to grid

    Wind farms don’t provide “clean energy”.  The amount of materials and fossil fuels required to make the three blades and base is enormous.  900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete and 45 tons of non-recyclable plastic.  Then there is the devastating effect the number of birds, bats and other insects killed by the blades.  Also the long term health effects of living within a miles of the turbine.  Oh and what happens when the wind is not blowing????

    Give me a break

  • Apple hunts for program manager to help respond to Siri criticisms

    So on Saturday I was asking  stupid SIRI for directions.  I am in Toronto, it’s only the 4th largest city in North America.  So first street , dumbass gave me directions to somewhere in Mexico.  Second try at another street was a US option.  Real smooth.  It sucks!

  • Samsung teases first foldable phone in new promo video

    Sad that the fan boys love to trash everything all the competitors do, especially Sammy.  I am sure as we speak Apple is working on one.  I have always wanted a big phone, bigger that the max.  If you could turn the phone into an iPad Mini, that would be amazing.  I am guessing either 2020 or 2021 for the foldable iPhone.  Looking forward to what Sammy comes up with and how Apple will hopefully improve on it.

  • Editorial: Apple's iPhone strategy is bad for investors, good for consumers

    Charging higher and higher prices for all new versions of products.  Just look at how much the 6plus cost vs the XS max.  Every year it’s at least a $100 more for the newer phone.  Then going up the storage ladder is ridiculously expensive.  Including the shiftiest headphones with the iPhone.  including Useless chargers with the iPhone.  Charging ridiculous prices for new cables and chargers.  The new pencil costs $30 more than the last one.  The iPad keyboard is a pos and it’s almost $200!  I got my daughter a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9” and got the top Logitech keyboard and stand which is cheaper and a 100 times better.  I love my apple products but sick of being rippped off.  Did I mention Siri sucks as does maps.  All the profits go to the shareholders and executives.  Executive compensation is out of control.  Oh and how did that stock buyback work out? Not too well.  Buybacks are a bad idea.  That money should have gone to more dividends and probably way mire r&d and possibly more m&a.
    my 2 cents.
