    ...when I think about human rights, I don’t think about an ROI. When I think about making our products accessible for the people that can’t see or to help a kid with autism, I don’t think about a bloody ROI, and by the same token, I don’t think about helping our environment from an ROI point of view.
    If you only want me to make things, make decisions that have a clear ROI, then you should get out of the stock.

    Direct contradiction to helping China and it’s version of human rights get bigger.

    Hope TSMC is watching. 

    Apple is hurting Taiwan based Foxconn tremendously here. 

    Next, China will start a chip foundry and pressure Apple into shifting their processors there. Short of military terrorism and attempted takeover against Taiwan, China will use strong arm market tactics. Actually, thanks to Apples compliance, they already are. 

    TSMC should consider leaning more into the Intel partnership and others. That will hedge against catastrophe should Apple pull another fast one.

    Just pull all manufacturer out of China.  They will use the money we pay them to build their military and attack us at some point in time.  We are stupid to think otherwise.  All they have to do now is claim ownership of an American company in China and take it and all it’s assets and IP over and we are powerless to do anything.  But the shareholders will cry and ask our average American sons and daughters in the military will be asked to step up and ensure the .1 of 1%-ters keep their share.  We should never have enrich our advisories for profit and we never ever should have exported our superior computer technology around the world giving up our supremacy.  Gloomy picture, I know.  But the world is run by a few greedy families and its all legal and very obfuscated.
    This is bs propaganda! Why would a nation busy producing goods for the world plan to attack in the future? Only a hateful person will use this kind of logic. 
    Apparently someone hasn’t seen chinas military recruitment video… nor paid attention to the news that China developed and successfully tested a middle that can travel the globe and be within 10 miles of target accuracy - something that somehow was done right under the noses of U. S. intelligence.

  • New & colorful 27-inch iMac starts production, reportedly won't have mini LED

    I’m pumped! I’ll be repeatedly refreshing Apple’s store page on announcement day. 

    I don’t get why most ppl would want anything bigger than 27”. You know you’re siting right in front of it, right?? I have an older 21” and even that is plenty big for everything I need. 
    As a 27” iMac 5k owner, Ive had this since 2016. 
    It now feels small. I use it far more often than my MBP simply because of screen size and clarity. 

    It felt huge when I first bought it. Like an exotic item from the future. 

    As a multimedia designer, the 27 inch screen is nice to see the fine details as I create. 

    But that was jumping up from a a laptop screen. 

    Now, having much more experience with intricate design and hardware, the 27 inch screen feels cramped. 

    The 27 inch size was exotic 6 years ago. Now it’s just ok. 

    Apple coming out with a long awaited redesign is great. But it will be so disappointing to be stuck at 27”. 

    It’s fine for a lot of people. But it’s not special anymore. And it’s not big anymore. 

    For those who want it, 27” will be great. 

    But a great many folks want more. Thankfully, it seems Apple will be giving us a 32 option also. 

    Heck, Apple used to sell a 30” Cinema Display forever ago. It’s 2022! Time to move up.

    Sounds like we will have two regular iMacs at 24 and 27 inches with everyday screens and rainbow bright colors and then an iMac Pro or “Pro Max” with a 32 inch mini led screen and - hopefully more professional, elegant colors.
