I don't agree with DOJ's premise therefore I do think it's wrong and counterproductive for Google to sell Chrome. We have plenty of browser alternatives that work just fine.  

The first intelligently crafted post in this thread thus far.  Bravo on that.  I just clicked Like on your post.

No one, including the article author, should celebrate such intervention by Big Brother.  

Just because some nuts here choose to dislike Google and want them harmed, doesn't mean that harm by Big Brother won't come back to haunt your beloved company some day.  And what do you know!  Apple is in the crosshairs of Big Brother too!  That remains true regardless of the fact they are "otherwise not saying a word today that isn't vetted by lawyers."  That statement in the article is downright stupid because all it does is seek to take an unnecessary pot shot at Google while showing how Apple is better in comparison.  

Hey, I like Apple better than Google.  But sicking your attack dog on Google or any other company you choose to dislike is a really dumb idea.  We need to use the iron fist of government less, not more.  

Kudos to AppleInsider for rightfully lambasting the EU.  It's not just us tiny people in the AI forums anymore!

I read through all the comments and was pleasantly surprised that this time no one said silly things like "sure, Donny, that happened".  Seems that everyone believed this article, which is a positive change.  The fact a CEO can talk to a former or current President isn't a bad thing, regardless of one's political leanings.

Always thrilled to see news like this.  The bad guys are getting served what they deserve.

My god…..I was thinking when I purchased my M1 Max 16 inch I would be fine for 4-5 years but this might consider me upgrading this year….also because I noticed the GPU is hitting the limit sometimes but also that with my new function I need more headroom for bigger projects with the CPU.

I too have an M1 Max 16" MBP and I edit 10-bit 4K videos in FCPX, but I've not run up against performance issues that necessitate an upgrade.  Sure, the extra speed of the M4 Max would be fun, but it's not an absolute necessity.  Perhaps when they release the M5, they'll finally have WIFI 7 support, and then it may be time to pull the trigger on a purchase.  Maybe by then they will finally add FaceID and make the notch much more useful.
