  • Apple in talks to license Google Gemini AI for iPhones

    Pathetic. What's Apple thinking, licensing that utterly bizarre POS piece of technology?

    The only headline should be: "Fresh on the heels of admitting abject failure with, and abandoning, their AV project, Apple adds AI to the list."

    Tim Cook's Apple seems to have run out of ideas and talent. Hurts to say that, as a 40-year user of the company's products, and 20-year shareholder. The only competitive advantage that Apple has now seems to be that its competitors are worse.

  • Abandoned $10 billion Apple Car project referred to as 'Titanic disaster' by employees

    This outcome was patently obvious to many from Day 1. 

    At this point, Tesla has won this contest hands-down. By the time Apple finally got there -- even if they could -- there would be no way for it to catch up to a company like Tesla.

    Apple made the smart decision here, to not fall into the sunk cost fallacy and continue to throw good money after bad. That said, it's most definitely a huge pie on Cook's face.

  • Reports are spreading about a very specific Apple Vision Pro front glass crack

    This is not good. 

    Overall, it reeks of being a rushed product,  notwithstanding the very good initial reviews.

  • Apple Vision Pro customers face a 25-minute in-store sales pitch

    My original plan, when I saw the product intro, was to buy the Vision Pro when it came out this year. But I have now decided to give it a pass. A hard pass. This product is not going much of anywhere. It will have some important niche uses, but even that will take a few years. (If you think I am mistaken, do correct me; the general level of "meh" as reflected in the lack of enthusiasm for it in this forum supports my views).

    As a shareholder and a four-decade customer of Apple, I truly hope Cook et al. have something more needle-moving up their sleeves as a next product or service. 

    For the first time since the early-to-mid 90s, I am worried about Apple's growth prospects or rather, the seeming lack of any. Revenues have been flatlining-to-declining, and I hope that does not continue (although I am pessimistic, at least over the next year).

  • Apple gets backlash from India after uncovering hacks on journalists

    This is a terrible look for the Modi government. Sheer arrogance.
