  • Qualcomm still wants to cooperate with Apple on a 5G iPhone

    Dear Qualcomm, suing your customers is a bad idea. Especially when they are largest company by stock valuation.

  • Amazon plans over 3000 'Project Kuiper' satellites to spread global broadband

    This is great news! I will switch to SpaceX's Starlink or this in a heartbeat. Goodbye legacy regional monopolies, and all around terrible companies, like Comcast, CenturyLink, etc.

  • Apple Card will be the most secure credit card ever, and here's why

    In the US, the entire risk of fraud is on the bank. Debtors need be reasonably diligent, but the FCRA protects consumers. And banks write off the losses as a cost of doing business. At 20%+ interest, this is easy to do. 

    I saw an odd purchase on a card once. It was like $8, but just didn't recognize the address. So I called the bank. The clerk looked it up, and said, "I see that. I'll reverse the charge." I said, "no, i likely bought that, I just don't recognize the location. Tell me the address and name of the business." The clerk audibly sighed and said, "we are instructed to not spend time getting this information. It is faster to just reverse the charge." and essentially got to the "has this resolved your issue" part of the script and essentially hung up.
    Wow, you should get a new credit card. The merchant is the one who does not get paid in that case.

  • Hands on with Siri in the shower thanks to U by Moen

    Was there actual pricing? Can you divulge it please? If Mac users can buy a $5k iMac Pro, then they can afford a Moen smart shower head.  :)

  • Wi-Fi spec naming getting simplified with new numbering scheme

    mf2kmf2k
    I'm outraged, OUTRAGED, about this I'll tell you. How am I supposed to sound smarter then everyone else by rattling off obscure nomenclature about WiFi and make up stuff about what people's technical issues are???

    This is great and a long time coming!
