  • DOJ seeks to break up Google ad business after illegal monopoly ruling

    I find it astonishing that regulators are not addressing the problem of surveillance of private citizens by companies. The one notable exception is the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It’s as if lawmakers and representatives around the world are utterly unaware of the appalling surveillance capitalism business model of companies like Google, Facebook, and others. I really think that is the problem: most people, including politicians, believe that Google and Facebook are giving out free lunches.

  • AAPL crumble: stock hit again, as White House clarifies 145% China tariff rate

    Déjà vu all over again. Last time it was a cluster f*ck inside a dumpster fire. And this time… it’s something worse. Let’s not forget why DT originally turned on China: it was to deflect the stench emanating from his close ties to Russian money and influence. This is vacuous, politics for show. “Look, I’m doing something.” Some people speculate that the idiot thinks that running a trade deficit means that you are in debt to the other country.

  • Apple stock bloodbath continues after China applies retaliatory tariffs

    What is the ratio of anti- to pro- Trump on this website? About 10-1?
    Whatever. You still need to convince us that the stinking sack of sh*t that you are peddling is delicious and nutritious.

  • Apple stock bloodbath continues after China applies retaliatory tariffs

    In fairness to all the hillbillies who voted for Trump, America has tried smart presidents—Obama, they’ve tried average intelligence Presidents—Reagan, they’ve even tried dumb presidents—Bush Jr., yet things have continued to get worse for the middle classes. So, you might as well try a complete f*cking imbecile. Who knows? You might get lucky this time.

  • Apple is lying about Apple Intelligence, John Gruber says -- and he's right

    Garbage! Apple didn’t lie about upcoming AI features. Knowledge of AI is open source. Much of the science is well understood by thousands of computer scientists and programmers around the world, Apple is no different. They have the tech. They had working prototypes. They were ready to launch. They produced launch videos. All the whole, they were testing and debugging, and the test results were coming in… and holy sh*t, it was a hot mess. Errors, misinformation, hallucinations, dubious results,, ill-advised stuff, you name it. So Apple pressed ‘pause.’ Because 50% reliable is not good enough if you’re Apple. 

    50% reliable is fine for companies like ChatGPT, or any one of the dozens of other AI entrants. Never mind that their entire business model rests on plagiarising and circumventing copyright of the original creatives around the world.
