US House of Representatives to recommend break up of Big Tech firms
If happens, how this American companies would compete against the Chinese companies, which are practically state companies?
This guys (in the House of the Representatives) are completely out of the reality!
Do they know that we’re leaving in the year 2020?

Apple purges rival products from store ahead of rumored AirPods Studio, new HomePod
chuck burr said:Apple is opening itself for an antitrust case by removing competition from the store.
If you are willing to sell your own production of potatoes in your own store, who can you force to sell potatoes from other suppliers if you don’t want? -
Remembering Steve Jobs
lkrupp said:And I’ll never forget or forgive the trolls on C|net who viciously attacked and vilified Jobs the day he died. There were efforts to organize trips to urinate and defecate on his grave. It was the most vile thing I’d ever read in my life. I pleaded with C|net to delete the most vicious and cruel of those posts to no avail. Those posts are part of the reason I have no tolerance for Android sycophants or Apple haters, no matter their motives. It has gotten me shadow banned on a couple of sites but I don’t care. I will respond tp them just as nastily as they post.Yes, and what makes me more sad is that, those haters even don’t realize that theirs Android devices are what they are, only because of Steve Jobs.
So, if they were smart enough, they should say: “Thanks Steve!”

Power button Touch ID on the iPad Air 4 was an 'incredible feat'
zorkor said:Meh. Android had it for years and no one ever complained about it being insecure or anything. Usual Apple taking credit for something that someone else already did years before.There is a big difference.Yeah, Android had it for years, but didn’t worked properly and most important: it was unsecure. Every hacker could have access to your data.
In an iPhone, even Apple can’t access the data stored in an enclave on your device.

Power button Touch ID on the iPad Air 4 was an 'incredible feat'
More longer before Sony, all Windows PCs on the market were supplied with such a finger print scanner, and nobody used them, because they were useless.elijahg said:
Well Sony had it in Q4 2015 (except in the US, because Apple had patented a fingerprint reader in a power button in Q2 2015) and it is as fast as the one on the then current 6S. So really, Sony beat them to the punch by 4 years, which also means this is 4 year old tech that Apple is touting as an "incredible feat". That said, I have no idea how secure the Sony one is comparatively. The touch sensors are essentially ultra-high resolution CMOS-based touchscreens, high enough resolution to capture the ridges of your fingerprint in detail high with enough resolution to authenticate.hmlongco said:
I suspect that once more it's a case of Apple taking a feature and actually doing it right....Chris_Saul said:Stretches credibility since it’s not like Apple is the first to have this capability

Also:"On the cellular iPads, the top portion of the enclosure is the antenna," Ternus explained, which meant they had to place "this incredibly sensitive Touch ID sensor right inside an incredibly sensitive antenna, and had to figure out how to make them work with each other and not be talking over each other and causing interference."Surely a simple solution is turn off the RF for a few hundred milliseconds while the fingerprint snapshot is taken, as to not affect the sensor, which wouldn't drop the cellular connections as they're easily robust enough to lose several seconds of data.
This all sounds like a lot of marketing bluster to me.
So, what do you prefer: to be first on the market with something that doesn’t works, or to be first on the market with something that perfectly works?
