  • Intel to build $20 billion chip factory in Ohio

    FYI: this is happening in part because $52 billion in federal support for the chip industry was passed by Congress and signed into law. Intel will be getting a grant from the U.S. government as part of the funding. 

    Plus a billion dollars from the state of Ohio.
    So who exactly is building this plant?  

    But, that's OK.   We need to invest in ourselves, our own country, if we want to keep up.   The last 3 decades of austerity have caused us to fall behind in many areas -- not just chips.

    It's a wise use of money:   That $52billion came from not having to throw away a billion dollars a week in Afghanistan.  What did that buy us ?

    This is more than OK. It’s absolutely necessary. The Chinese government does not even think twice about pumping money into strategic industries like this. 
    You know why? It is not to compete with US. China spend more importing chips than importing crude oil. This is it largest import item.

    Is this an imagination or a Google PR? Where is the Apple headset that Google try to rival?

    Apple should buy Electronic Arts or Take Two Interactive to compete.

    Is iMessage app available on Android phones? 
    No iMessage is exclusive to Apple devices only (Mac and iOS). I don't really see anything wrong with that. If Apple or any other manufacturer wants to have its own platform then so be it. It's not like Apple makes it so you can ONLY message other Apple devices. If Apple did this then I think there would be more of an issue but just because Apple's iMessage platform is widely successful doesn't mean they need to allow others to use it or even start supporting other platforms. 
    I am confused. How does this green text come from? 
    The green bubble means that particular message was sent via SMS texting not from the iMessage sevice. iMessage routes through Apple servers and the app is only available on Apple devices (Mac or iOS). I believe the idea was the green bubble was to signify that it was an SMS text message being sent and therefore may be charged if you don't have unlimited texting. 

    Android phones do not support iMessage because Apple elects to not make it available on the Android platform. Its an Apple exclusive thing. You can still message Android device inside of iMessage (the app) using SMS. Apple will automatically determine whether or not the device you're sending to is an Apple device signed into an Apple ID and just send it via iMessage. If it detects either a Apple device not signed into iCloud or a non-Apple device it will just send it via SMS. 

    Basically, the green bubble was simply to tell a user on an Apple device that the message was not sent through Apple's messaging system, but rather your phone carriers texting service (SMS). 

    I hope this clears things up.

    No, the messages I receive are black color on grey background. They are not blue or green.
