Vietnamese authorities order quarantine at Samsung display plant
"...it is responsible for around a quarter of the country's approximately $60 billion annual exports" - 25% of the county's export probably makes it essential to their economy.jbdragon said:So I guess making video displays is a Essential Job?

Martin Scorsese in talks with Apple TV+ to produce & distribute $200M film
"...and he wants Apple to save the project" - relax, Apple has been approached no different than any other studio such as Netflix, Universal and MGM...making it sound as if Scorsese is begging Cook to bail him out.

Triple-camera iPad Pro, 'iPhone SE 2' Touch ID, HomeKit improvements appear in 'iOS 14' le...
that was exactly my question - in a pinch I've used it to take a pic of a slide being presented when I left my phone at my desk but I've never once taken a pic with my iPad the way I do with my phone...always seemed impractical. However, with that said, I can see the advantages if you're using it as a video camera and filming a scene. The bigger screen would def be a help in ensuring everything is framed correctly but I would think that's a small user group.SpamSandwich said:How many people use their iPad for serious photography projects? There might be a few, but iPhone Pro seems to be the standard.

US backs EU's call for a global digital tax deal
facts...just look at all of the people today that came out in India to rally against Trump...oh, wait it was in support of Trump, my bad. Then there's China who wants absolutely nothing to do with Trump and will never agree to work with the US so long as he's President...oh wait, China just signed a new trade agreement with the US, my bad. Ahh, the Middle East they just, oh wait there's a new Afgan agreement on the table and new peace agreement on the table between Isreal and Palestine. So exactly who are these foreign leaders who see Trump as the 'outgoing' President and who are they seeing as the more suitable replacement?avon b7 said:

Every country has to agree on "one overall deal" or the U.S. will block it with tariffs?So, the U.S. can do whatever it wants, anyway it wants, whenever it wants. But, with businesses operating in each of their countries, the rest of the world has to march in lockstep (and probably to Mnuchin's drum?).The arrogance is staggering!
We'll have to see how things pan out but the U.S has a lot more to lose than win by rocking the boat so much.
The arrogance is not lost on foreign leaders who will simply have to adapt to possible tariffs, enter tit-for-tat mode or take trade elsewhere.
Now, with every tweet and threat, I feel we are closer to someone calling the U.S bluff. If the Chinese were to dump Boeing and go Airbus to a larger degree than it is, that would put the cat among the pigeons and Trump would only have himself to blame. Of course, taking all that business to the EU would come at a price because the deal world have to swing both ways.
To be honest, I think most foreign leaders now see Trump as the 'outgoing' president and are banking on any successor having to bend over backwards to repair the incredible damage done on just about every level to international relations.

What the US is pushing for is consensus amongst participants and insurance against a shake down and prevent some of these nations from saying that unless you pay a 75% tax you'll be blocked from transacting any further in said nation. The US is aligned with the idea of the tax but there needs to be structure...and yes, there will be countries out there looking for the shake down - just look at what happens to tourist in some countries where the local authorities will extort them...you don't think that would happen here?GeorgeBMac said:Huh?
