  • Apple refutes rumors that it is trying to buy TikTok

    I’m sure if there is anything to this report it is that TikTok is floating Apple’s name to try to drive the price up...

  • TSMC 3nm 'risk production' in 2021 paves the way to 2022 mass production

    There has to be a limit on how small you can go before the size of the components won't work anymore. Once this limit is reached, how will processor fabrication change to improve speed and reduced power usage? 
    I always recall writing a paper for a chemistry class about computer chips (back in the late 80s). The books all stated as a fact that the laws of physics limited processors to 100nm but that 200nm was probably the practical limit. 

    I believed that even when they got to 100nm and I take everything as magic since then...
    i no longer believe there is a limit!

  • Repair shop loses legal battle with Apple over 'counterfeit' iPhone screen import

    I'm not getting this:   If they were "refurbished" Apple screens (although I'm not sure how one refurbishes a screen), how are they "Counterfeit"? 

    Counterfeit:   "a fraudulent imitation of something else; a forgery."


    And, why would they obscure or remove the Apple branding -- which would, if anything, add value.


    If I’m reading this correctly, the repair shop bought genuine Apple parts but not from a licensed seller—at least not licensed to sell to them. To hide that they were not bought legally (and with Apple backing) they had to remove marks identifying the parts as genuine Apple parts. 
    It doesn’t seem to say, but Here is a theory: perhaps the Chinese factory had some screens that didn’t meet Apple’s quality control standards. Instead of destroying them, they sold them on a sort of black market for spare Apple parts.

    Isn't that an oxymoron... a Mac Mini Pro.


    I’m waiting for the Deluxe Mac Mini Pro Lite Super—Student Edition. Refurbished.
