  • Meta CEO mocks Apple for 'sitting on' iPhone 20 years later despite doing the same with Fa...

    Just because one does not like the source of the criticism or because it can apply to them too, does not mean it should be dismissed out of hand. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Under Cook the stock price has been up like a rocket. But new innovation that has brought new shareholder value has been questionable. Working on stuff like titan while missing the AI movement for AR would seem to me to be as big a miss as mobile was to Microsoft when you look at the front (say chatGTP) and back ends (say Nvidia style chips and then options like their Digits processing unit for $3,000!). If, as Cook claims, Apple has been working on AI for many years (was it the past 7?) then that team needs to be fired. Now AR headsets are innovation and it could pay off like Newton may have set the basis for an iPhone but what if that time, money and human genius was put to work on something like OpenAI and chip development for AI. Instead we mostly get a better camera, a marginally faster chip, and some emojis that are presented as amazing and groundbreaking. 
    AI has yet to show broad customer support. Just look at what Microsoft did to pricing this month to trick people into paying for AI instead of trying to promote it as an upgrade. 

    There is no market acceptance of AI as yet and I wonder if Apple is actually behind given their approach should create a broader revenue base for developers and Apple. No tricks just exposure of opportunities.

    Globally way more than twice.

    20 years of Mark Nefarious tracking every kid on the planet while trying to look innocent is too much. His hoodies are stained and tired. His platforms are distributing hate and lies for profit while selling our privacy. FB is much worse than it used to be while iPhone is better than ever.
    Look at the players involved in supporting Facebook and it becomes clear this was their aim for the product all along.

    So any plans to have a top comments summary that shows the most reacted too overall, most informative, most disliked and most liked?


    On the forums themselves or elsewhere?
    Well on the forums initially but it might make the forums seem more interesting if the comments at the end of the article weren’t just the first ones but the most reacted to ones.

    Tim Cook did the same thing with Biden. Also, why did Wesley coin the President-Elect as controversial? He won in an electoral college landslide and also won the popular vote by over 4 million votes. I’d say the country clearly stated who they wanted. No controversy here folks. Maybe let’s just stick with tech news and not show our biased political views in a tech article. 
    TRUMP - 77,303,573 votes (49.9%) HARRIS - 75,019,257 votes (48.4%) A 1.5% difference. Slightly more than half the country voted against him, while nearly half voted for him. Ignoring half the country by erroneously claiming a mandate would be a mistake. 


    Total votes 152,319,830
    population  346,388,480 people 

    So more than half didn’t vote for anyone.
    they each got more than a 1/5 but less than a 1/4.

    Sure a 1/3 are generally underage or otherwise in capable.
    still at 80mill non voters are still the next biggest group after the young. 

    No democracy stands up well to math but USA is particularly bad which is part of the reason you aren’t even top 50 on the demographic index.
