Apple's 'modular' Mac Pro design may mean units that connect like Lego bricks
I like the idea of it. If they can pull this off it would be amazing.davgreg said:The Texas Instruments 4A had a "Peripheral Expansion Box" that was modular in a lateral setup way back in the early days of personal computing.

H-P offers a somewhat modular compact desktop with different plug-in modules connecting through a USB connector. The Elite Slice has been on sale for a couple of years.
I do not know if the report is correct, but Apple has a long history of proprietary connectors used to lock customers in.

Google pays Fossil $40M for smartwatch IP to compete with Apple Watch
Competition is ALWAYS great for consumers, I love my Apple Watches, but curious to see what Google is able to achieve in the future. Their current wearables are pretty bad.

Apple working on high-voltage battery power converters intended for sports cars
Bloomberg has an article out about a reverse engineering car firm Munro and Associates, a firm of manufacturing experts contracted by OEMs and suppliers to tear down cars and car parts to the very last nut and bolt. They concluded that Tesla is way ahead of everyone else except....manufacturing. They say that if the model 3 was built by a true car company it would blow away the competition. It’s lack of expertise building cars is Tesla’s biggerst problem.JWSC said:
Never!qwwera said:What if...Ford’s decision to exit the car market and focus on trucks and commercial vehicles is it’s way of opening production to building Apple’s cars? Apple using Ford’s expertise, factories, dealer networks sounds like a plan. Of all the American car companies I think Ford is the best and only one i trust. I think if Apple does indeed build a car it would probably be with Ford.

Police contracted to guard Apple Stores in Sacramento following theft spree
I went to work in Sacramento this summer for a couple of months. And the memory of that time that I tell everyone is that it was the first time in my life that I went to a McDonalds with two guards standing out front. I was new to the city so I just wanted something familiar near by where I wouldn’t need to drive. Scariest McDonalds ever.
