    I think everyone is missing the big thing with these emoji’s, the glasses they are wearing all lack arms going over the ears... which means Apple is going to launch the world’s first augmented reality pince-nez!!  ;)

    I never thought i would say this but I am almost over Apple. The crap storage capacities they sell are a joke. 256GB for any $1000 plus machine is ridiculous. Also upgrade charges for larger SSDs are horrible. Apple is becoming a Joke when it comes to cost weighed against value. Do not get me wrong, they have the best Software and Hardware but the cost of RAM and Storage space is a joke. Also the computers in 2021 still starting at 256 GB is laughable. I think I have one more Apple purchase in me, then I may look to move on.
    You know those holes in the sides of your Mac?  They are called ports and they allow you to plug in external storage. Personally I prefer my 16Terabyte RAID system not being built into my Mac as it made upgrading so much easier. The internal storage I use only for software.

    I suspect Apple are hoping we’ll all give up on local storage eventually and hold out data in the cloud, specifically their cloud. That seems to be the push of the industry.

    As the UK and the U.S. (and their minions) have embraced self centered self-contained nationalism, the EU is emerging as a center for global technological advances as it is willing and able to embrace all comers rather than trying to block major centers from participating.  

    The EU now makes more sense than any other single place in the world if you are seeking the best of future of technology.

    It's probably best that they cut the dead and decaying UK anchor free and can sail on ahead freely.  The future is there for those who embrace the future.
    Spot the socialist!!  :D
    After engineering the sovereign debt crisis that virtually bankrupted Southern European countries, after provoking the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and after bungling the ordering of vaccines for Corvid-19, the EU is just an ongoing omnishambles that’s doomed to disintegrate.

    It would have made no sense at all to open this centre in the UK. If anything, companies like Apple will be decreasing their presence here in the UK. We are seeing this happening in the automotive and aviation sectors already.

    Err no we aren’t, but those facts probably doesn’t suit your political narrative..

    Why?  The UK doesn't have any particular advantage in wireless or networking does it?
    A lot of Qualcom’s wireless technology comes from its acquisition of Cambridge Silicon Radio which is still based in Cambridge.

    The world’s most densely packed mobile radio network exist within Ocado’s robot-staffed warehouses. A proprietary technology licensed to other retailers around the world, such as Walmart in the USA. Developed by another Cambridge based technology company.

    Should I continue?

    BTW - guess which city ARM is based, it begins with a “C”...
