  • Apple expected to invest in Arm ahead of possible September IPO

    lorca2770 said:

    Please, correct me.
    I have been following Apple since 1984 (Mac 128 😊)

    Was it not S Job who at some point, during the tough times, sold ARM (since it was Apple’s company)? I think I understood it was Apple Reduced Memory. It was one of those developments that were undermined by Microsoft with the permanent: “stop the presses we are coming with something better”. So many Apple developments were drowned by, at the time, all powerful MS.
    Please advise.

    I can't find anything online about Steve Jobs/Apple having owned ARM in the past.  ARM stands for Advanced RISC Machine.

  • Apple guts internal communication tool, crippling union organization

    Loop was never intended as a tool for airing grievances, but an idea hub to make ideas into a reality. I understand that employees get frustrated if Apple appears to not be listening to their grievances, but loop wasn’t made for that and it’s possible that Apple got tired of hearing just complaints and not ideas. 
    This comment is spot on correct.  Loop isn't just a bulletin board for complaining, it is an ideas board- it asks you to explain how to implement your idea, how will help the company, customers, etc. 

    People want to organize a union?  Fine...setting up an online message board really doesn't take too much work:  A private, invite only Facebook group is an easy one.

  • Let's get ready to rumble: Zuckerberg agrees to fight Musk in cage match

    There seems to be a pretty solid consensus on the wanted outcome around here...lol.   (I agree.)

  • Here's why you don't put an AirTag on your dog's collar

    Okay, I've had an AirTag on my dog's collar almost since they came out.  The tag has never fallen out its holder.  The dog does not wear the collar inside the house- and with one exception when she was about three months old, has never bolted out the front door.  (She is 3½ years old now.)
    Having an AirTag on her collar is no different from having her license and rabies vaccine tags on it.

  • Hundreds riot at Foxconn iPhone plant over terrible conditions

    No matter what it takes, Apple and Foxconn need to move as much production out of China as possible.
