  • Open letter asks Apple not to implement Child Safety measures

    With respect to the image scanning I think Apple can make a good case that they want illegal and horrific images off of their servers. I applaud the use technology to eradicate these images from the face of the earth and more specifically to stop child abuse in general. 

    My personal perspective is related to Apples methodology. 

    The method Apple chose involves uploading data to customer owned devices without their permission for the needs of a third party. Further they are using the processing power of their customers equipment without their permission to access customers data without their permission with the sole purpose of finding out if that customer is breaking the law. It seems like this is violating the customers trust in Apple. it also seems like this makes Apple an agent for the government. 

    The reason for what they’re scanning for and the methods they’re using is because it’s justifiably horrific, I.e. child abuse, and the images are widespread, so there is a limit to Apples privacy stance imo.

  • New energy regulations prompt Dell to stop sales of high-performance PCs in six states

    This is just the start. Dell will be out of business in the coming years. Intel to follow.

    I don’t know who is pushing this foolish vanity project inside Apple but please no. You cant compete with the VW’s, GM’S etc when it comes to building cars no matter how good the car is.
    *cough*Tesla*cough*
    Tesla sold half a million cars last year.  VW sold over 6 million.  Tesla are doing remarkably well, but to say they're substantially competing with the big dogs would be stretching it.
    There’s more to Tesla vs the “big dogs” than sales volumes. Tesla will beat and exceed the dinosaurs that VW and GM are, where their ponderous processes will result in their inability to compete and eventually result in their bankruptcy.
