  • Corning reveals Gorilla Glass 6 likely destined for Apple devices

    backstab said:
    Has it ever been confirmed that Apple uses GG?
    I've heard / read back and forth that it is, and that it isn't.
    They used it from the beginning, IMHO, just did not call it GG, instead preferring "ion-X glass" name. But it is the same as Porsche having active suspension management system (PASM (r)) that is just a system from a company that manufactures adjustable shocks... It is essentially, rebranding of a product.

  • Former Apple employee pleads not guilty to stealing self-driving car trade secrets

    I was uncertain how the comments would proceed on this topic compared the first time. 

    Reading the ex-employee has a lawyer and is pleading not guilty made me pause to think about this strategy considering the man admitted stealing a server and downloading data to his wife’s computer. 

    I also wondered...

    - Who is financially backing the man to pay for the lawyer?
    - How much data was stolen and transferred to China before the man was caught?
    - What will happen if Apple loses this case?

    Unless Apple's legal team consists of Hyper-chickens, (incompetent "lawyers" from Futurama), I doubt Apple is gonna lose this case. 
    Besides, Apple is unlikely to do anything, because it is FBI vs that gentleman, and not him vs Apple....
    As for FBI, I mean, they already have enough. The guy worked for Apple's electric vehicle R&D team, decides to jump the boat, and moved to another company that by random chance is a new start up, that is gonna design electric cars in China.
    In addition to that, there is material evidence the guy stole tens of gigabytes of Apple's R&D information, schematics and data from their DBs, on his last couple of days of employment, and while doing so, exceeded the amount of info he had been accessing for the last couple of months(!).... He also stole (stole, because Apple did not give permissions for removal) devices from Apple's lab to ...cough.... "read materials later". It is quite clear, what he was trying to do. He also knew that what he was doing was against company's policies, so it requires malice to do what he did.

    Hey Apple, here’s some advice ‘don’t hire someone named Zhang. The stereotype is all too often true. I work with Chinese companies, one that is ‘backed by the government’ they are ruthless and dishonest and don’t value contract agreements. They intercept data from competing firms, and always seem to know what prices you offer others. Their patent process is an absolute joke - you must assume your IP and processes will be stolen, just a matter of how long it takes them to offer a knock off. Sorry if I offend anyone - just the truth.
    They would tell you that you are cutting off a large portion of the employees and that it is profiling and racist, yada-yada...  /s
    Ultimately, it is Apple's decision if they wanna keep financing R&D that will later be handed over to some Chinese (cough) "start-up".

  • Study: iPhone 6 has highest failure rate among iPhones -- but Samsung's rate is higher

    However, Samsung's overall failure rate of 27.4 percent is both the highest of any Android manufacturer and higher than the highest rate for an iPhone, Blancco said.
    That is overall failure rate across the board for Samsung. Jesus... that means, some models have really abysmal failure rates, if 27.4 was just an average. :#

  • Former Apple employee charged with stealing autonomous car trade secrets

    And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how China was able to accomplish its "economic" miracle. It was done primarily via supercheap labour and stealing every IP they could get their hands on.
