  • Apple's Director of Machine Learning exits over return-to-office policy

    He most likely does not need nor care for the job and for that reason, Apple is better off without him.
    To leave a company because you do not want to go to a luxurious private office with free parking for 1 day a week is illogical.
    Oh well, such is life.

  • Apple loses lead Apple Silicon designer Jeff Wilcox to Intel

    Sounds bad on the front end, but I wonder if he contributed all he could s as me has nothing left. I guess we will see. 

    Lead designer is a big role. 

    Intel is clearly gaining here. 

    But Apple has far more resources to retain the people it wants to. So you have to wonder if this was not an amicable parting of ways at this point. 
    Jeff's work at Apple is probably mostly done for the next 20 years.  Apple probably has designs up to M5 at 1 nanometer already.  Intel is an American icon at risk of peril at this time.  Since Jeff left Intel to go to Apple, I see nothing wrong with going back to Intel.  I wish them the best.  I wonder what kind of deal Intel made with TSMC if any?

    Intel needs help to save itself and if Jeff can help save them then its all good.

    Intel will not be able to match Apple Silicon in performance per watt making SOCs for public PC makers.
    Qualcomm is almost ready clobber intel with ARM.  Time will tell.

  • Apple Silicon iMac Pro coming early 2022, says leaker

    This rumor makes perfect sense In terms of replicating what was done with the 24" M1 iMac.
    Stay at stay at 27" to keep price down and not cannibalize Pro Display XDR.
    Darker bezel to differentiate from 24 inch iMac and throw in Face ID in addition to the finger print sensor on the keyboard.
    Silver color would do nicely and an contrasting Apple Logo in the chin would be nice.

  • Apple likely to face US Justice Department antitrust lawsuit

    They didn't question me and I've been a customer since 1989. I know this is a different branch of the DOJ than the ones looking into the larger topic but it would be nice if they didn't waste their time on going after Apple while there are much more important things to investigate. I'm also wondering if the current DOJ needs to be investigated to make sure everyone is actually following the law and doesn't have any interests in Apple competitors. 
    Well put.  Especially when Apple was recently found not to be a monopoly.
    The DOJ would lose an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, just like Epic will lose again.
    The DOJ should not waste taxpayer money to support sore loser corporations.
