  • Apple's 'Project Titan' chief to reportedly leave company, car team under pressure

    Argue your point then, you're gut feeling doesn't cut it as an argument.
    Especially since it's likely in at least 3-4 years minimum and who knows what Apple has done up to now.
    Unlike Google, Apple keeps most things under wrap until they're ready.

    Tesla hasn't made 1 once of profit and it's the government who bailed out GM and Chrysler, they should be dead, because they were so god damn shitty at doing what they were doing.

    Yet, Google get probably double the PE just for showing their crap moonshots, same with Uber and Amazon... Well who knows with them why they got their PE.

    There is no magic out there in the current car industry.

    Tesla sells cars yet is losing money like water.

    Apple has one of the biggest manufacturing expertise out there, cars are but a variant.



    Because Apple doesn't have the talent to do it. If you take 4 years to design an electric car the industry will pass you by, it's advancing fairly quickly.  Tesla was already one upped by Chevy. And say what you want about them, the car that they produced for $35k probably won't be a profitable item for them either.  But it does make it available to a lot more people that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it. Apple won't do that from a price point/profit margin standpoint.  

    In addition, when's the last time that they launched something that wasn't replaced the following year by 'the one they really wanted to release last year'. You can't screw up on launching a car it will sink like a lead weight.

    I'm more concerned why Apple is venturing into this realm. While one could argue that a cell phone was outside of their business years ago, they at least made portable devices with batteries and storage prior to that. This seems so far outside the zone for them thats almost incomprehensible that they would even know what time frame to assign tasks.

  • Fourth-gen Apple TVs spontaneously awaken, power on their HDTVs, users complain

    CEC is so half baked and different from device to device it's amazing to me this is the only issue. Where is there a bug report for the screensaver though? It's always worked for me.

    A Mac mini (even old one) is much better than Apple TV for multimedia center.
    Disagree, totally. Mac Mini's, especially old ones can't handle processing video very well. The GPU's are underwhelming and the way a user interfaces with the mac mini is cludgy at best. Especially for a family with children or non techie so's.

    Exciting!

    I'm ready to upgrade my 38mm space grey.

    I wonder if Apple will be doing trade-in's for Watches? How much? I hope I can get $150 for a trade-in
    What trade in program are you talking about?  I highly doubt apple is going to be offering a trade in of 50% for a device thats a year old.  Have they ever done that before?
