  • Apple may switch butterfly keyboard for scissor version in MacBook Air

    Can't happen too soon.

    Butterfly is a disaster that should never have passed testing phases.

    Meanwhile, girls are just so safe in India.  /s

    India is the most dangerous country for women.

    So? what's your point? should we stop trying?

    All indications are that the free availability of porn ever since the explosion of the internet and deterioration of women safety have been parallel trends across the world. Are these related? maybe there should be some studies around it.

    Going down a path trying to get companies to remove apps (either by social or government pressure) and force one persons morality down the throat of another’s is, not only fool hardy, but dangerous.
    Well, should small children be exposed to porn?

    I don't think any parent would be 'culturally inclined' to that. 
    We are not talking porn. At the end of the day, the parents are responsible for monitoring their children.  Offsetting THAT responsibility to some random government is not a good idea.  

    The app says age "12+" and will pass through parental controls, but the content is obviously not meant for 12yr olds.

    It can't be only the responsibility of the parents, there needs to be a way for the parents to know what is the content on the app. An app can't say it is showing cat videos and slip a few nude videos in!! How will the parent know? Should each parent curate all the videos on TikTok? Or should we ban children from accessing any app that shows videos? Your comment suggests the app maker, the app store and the government can basically wash their hands off any responsibility.

  • Over $700 million in imports by Apple, Samsung & others held up by India e-waste authority...

    India has a problem with Apple generating waste? Seriously? ...
    Please read the article. India has a problem with apple not setting up recycling collection centers as they are supposed to. If you have no intent to even collect your junk and send it for recycling, why bother to sell?
