  • Editorial: Does Apple have the mettle to fight for Mac success in the Pro market?

    Mac mini need better cooling system. Laptop cooling fan is adequate for current 6 core i5 CPU.
    Current form factor for mini need redesign. Should make it taller and give 1 or 2 pcie slot for short graphic card.

    People built their own routers?

    Well there ya go; I had no idea.

    If you want powerful router and firewall and some people bulid with older hardware which much powerful then any of consumer level router out there.

    I wounder why Apple not jump in to NAS business. A12X or A13X CPU with 8-16GB RAM(with 4-8bay) should eat most of consumer level NAS.
    Bulit in Air port utility and time capsule.

  • Apple sells $7B in debt in first bond offer since $285B cash repatriation [u]

    I wonder why some people piss off about this?
    This is financial 101.

    If you have $10 million in bank with 2% interest gain/year and you need $1 million to buy new house.
    If the lender will gives you 1% interest loan then you will not take it? Or even 2% interest will be even out.
    Why would you spend your cash?

  • Study: Apple Pay at 9% adoption in US, lags far behind PayPal and traditional payment meth...

    YP101YP101
    USA is still cash driven society. Some restaurants give 10% off when pay cash then credit card and most of restaurant(specially seat down place) does not adapt handheld  pos. So physical credit card or cash still need.

    That is why Apple card sent out titanium card instead plastic card. They start late so some incentive needed. Not reward. The titanium card.
    I also have Apple card and there is no reason use physical Apple card at all.

    Most of USA consumer has multiple reward credit cards. There is no reason to ditch all credit card to Apple card..
    Most of YouTuber review as Apple card rewards compare to other high reward cards but I think they still not read fine print well..

    Some of high reward card always has limit amount that you ca receive high % rewards. Or rotate rewards quarterly. Like DIscover it cards.(5% rewards)
    But you are only get 5% on specific item such as gas for only 3 month and up to $1000 or so.. If you use more than that reward drop to 1%.
    For example if you spend pn gas $100/month then 3 months 5% ended up $15+ rest of other month 1%($9) = $24 rewards.
    Applepay return 2% unlimited so $100/month on gas ended up $24/year rewards anyway..

    So unless you use multiple high rewards cards to maximize(like Costco cards then it gives you 4% on gas up to $7,000/year) the return, single card only use does not gives some sort of huge rewards.

    You want high reward return then you have remember when to use which cards so you can get high return..
    Any time you want to make money in this world, you have to work on savvy credit card usage.

    But if you really don't want to remember which card what return and does not want to open multiple cards and also you can use Applepay 100% of the time then Apple card is not that bad far as I can see.

  • Steve Wozniak says Apple should have split up long ago, talks push into services and more ...

    YP101YP101
    He is day dreaming.. These days big tech can not survive without software+hardware+service.
    Any one of these component spin off will be suicide,
