  • White House says Trump doesn't want to harm Apple and iPhone prices won't rise

    In the case of Walmart, apparently there are a lot of "was $19.95", "now $34.95"-style signs up all over the store.

    Of course, in most of the videos I've seen, people are blaming Walmart for "price gouging".

    And not placing the blame where it truly belongs.

    “Ordered”? There is no such power. 
    Try telling that to "Rule by Decree" King Donald.

    Oppose his wishes, and he'll threaten you or deport you or sue you. Or, in the case of the courts, simply ignore you.

    Ive desperately wants to do yet another video VoiceOver where he discusses the device's "space age alu-min-imum frame"...

  • Jony Ive talks about minimalism, taste, and Apple's design group

    Minimalism has its place, but the problem has been that it almost always comes with a loss of functionality. And oddly enough, an increase in complexity.

    Having a single button on your phone is minimalist. Having that button perform multiple actions depending on whether or not it's pressed, long-pressed, double-tapped, or triple tapped?

    Not so much.

  • Amazon denies it had plans to be clear about consumer tariff costs

    Let make a deal keep these tarrifs but eliminate all federal income taxes.      Tariffs is how the country used to make the money they ran the country on, then around 1910 they decided to start the federal income tax program to generate the money to fund the country.    So federal income tax is now a total mess with the rich and big corporations play little to no taxes and the middle class playing.    So tariffs instead of income tax sounds good to me.   

    So... the entire stated goal behind the tariffs is to move production here so that we no longer import goods...

    Which, if it occurred, would mean no income from tariffs. (Nothing imported, nothing taxed.) So how does that work again?

    Regardless, Trumpy is going to use fake tariff math to justify yet another corporate tax cut and balloon the deficit even further.

    As to displaying tariff prices on the receipt. Amazon should definitely do that.

    So should Apple.
