  • New Apple Car rumor suggests 2026 debut at less than $100,000

    Now that Tim and Elon have kissed and made up, why not seal the deal and merge?  Apple will have a difficult time catching up to Tesla’s tech lead.

  • When the iPhone goes USB-C, other Lightning accessories will too says Kuo

    So now Apple is no longer allowed to think different. Apple must comply with the wishes of bureaucrats and haters. How long until some other bureaucrats mandate Apple comply with their ideas of design, security, privacy, compatibility, maybe even profitability?
    Wait til the EU bureaucrats realize they should also mandate all USB-C cords/adapters to be black so as to not confuse anyone.  Or at the very least, issue a 53 page regulation on what hue of white is allowed.

  • Apple named a titan in Time's 2022 list of most influential companies

    Frankly, if Apple didn’t make that list it would say more about the list than about Apple.
    It pretty much does say something about the list given that Tesla is not prominently mentioned among, or in place of, a few of those that are mentioned in this article.  
    Probably because Tesla doesn’t pay for advertisements in any medium.  No PR / marketing schmucks.  Just an engineer tweeting moves markets.

  • 'Apple Car' needs Machine Learning to make driving decisions fast enough

    I am in agreement with other critics of self-driving cars. As long as humans remain in control of cars ,machine learning, artificial intelligence, sensors, etc. will be no match for the eccentricities, poor judgement, inattention,  and road rage of homo sapien  drivers.

    On a more positive note, I read an article about an Israeli company who has contracted to build a one mile stretch of highway in Michigan with charging coils embedded in the pavement to allow wireless charging of EVs while they drive over the road. Of course the EVs will also be equipped with coils as well. If this turns out to be a practical solution to the range issue of EVs it will change everything.
    This concept has already been tried before. And it didn't quite scale. 
    And definitely not in pot-hole miserable MIchigan where new roads crumble after only a few years.  Would get extremely expensive to replace very expensive copper coils.

    Not to mention, in Detroit the jackhammers would come out to dig up the copper and sell it.

  • Apple shifted orders from Foxconn to Luxshare to assist $275B China deal

    Just as I predicted in previous article post.

    But I’m sure this will turn political nonetheless.
