  • Apple, Intel join lawsuit against Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods

    These tariffs were put into place to bring production and jobs back into the US. These companies get greedy for pennies, but yet will spends millions on lawyers.

    Frankly, if it was up to me, I’d double down on the opposite: say, quadruple the tariffs, leave it there for the next 25 years, and use the proceeds to help pay for all the COVID damage caused. It might, collaterally, help move some production here as well (and to China’s competitor countries). 

    That should be the price society imposes on each of us for our hankering after our cheap electronics and t-shirts. 
    I totally agree with this. Make it so that importing foreign goods would be so absurd that building production plants here would be the best course of action.  Personally, I’d rather pay a few bucks more for an American made product.

    No one has yet adequately explained what 5G on a smartphone brings to the table other than nerds bragging about their download speeds.
    5G isn’t about the devices we carry in our pockets. It’s about everything else that wants to be connected in our lives. The ability to ditch traditional cable operators for a cellular based internet service in your home, with speeds comparable to the antiquated wired connections. It also gives the ability to cover the underserved areas that traditional ISPs don’t want to develop because of the expense to bring service to that area. Although I am not a fan of autonomous cars, it will help with the progress for self driving vehicles as well. That’s just the tip of the Iceberg.

  • JPMorgan to shut down Chase Pay app in early 2020

    Remember, Apple Pay only works for Apple customers -- and not at all in many countries.
    You mean just like how Samsung Pay only works for Samsung Users?  At the end of the day, Apple developed their own platform and they are going to keep it proprietary for now. If they want they can release an android version of Apple Pay, just like they did for Apple Music. 



    As as far as countries, Apple Pay is in 56 Countries, and that  is nothing to sneeze at.
