  • As Apple gears up for AR headset, Snap writes off $39.9M in unsold Spectacles

    Snap is done. Could look trying to change their structure when the founders control all the voting rights.

    This is how China will help grow their home grown messaging apps companies by restricting and putting hurdles like they do for other outside businesses. Than, they use rest of world's openness and sell cheaper.
    It is quite unbelievable to me how blatantly China throttles some of America's most successful, valuable, world-beating firms and industries from being able to compete there. Thus providing a competitive moat for their Alibabas and Tencents and Baidus etc. etc. And, inexplicably, gets away with it.

    Meantime, Washington DC is focused on coal, chicken, beef, corn, and cigarettes. We are such a pathetic, whimpering, toothless, paper tiger. All hat and no cattle.
    I say this time and time again... Boot China out of the WTO before ANY dialog starts with that wretched country.  China's arrogant attitude that the world needs China to survive in business is an attitude that needs to be changed immediately.  China has poisoned the world with its cheap $30 microwave ovens and large flat-screen TV's.  Enough is enough.

    China blatantly violates everything that the WTO stands for, prevents foreign competition, and literally steals everyone's IP.  Hurt this country where it hurts the most.  Its economy.  If it wants access to other countries, it must first allow that same access within its own borders, unfettered by China's ridiculous government bureaucracy.
    As you type your reply from your electronic device likely made in China....... I'm all for doing what you say, but unless everyone is willing to put their money where their mouth is and stop buying Chinese products then it will always be just talk. Unfortunately, Americans by and large only care about price.

  • Plastc goes the way of Coin as Apple Pay takes the lead in digital payments

    People were crazy to pre buy these things. What's even crazier are the people on Reddit ready to go to court over 150$. As if they have any assets to go after either......Not sure what lawyer will take that case.
