  • IAC CEO says Apple is 'worse' than Google, likely the next antitrust target

    Yeah, this guy is a classic step-above scam man. Selling ads basically and is mad that Apple actually cares about the people who buy and use their products instead of using it to sell crap. Building anything? Group-On which is one step above a scam.

    This guy is a piece of work. He's speaking from SELF INTEREST not the interest of the public. 

    Read his 'Bio'
    https://www.iac.com/directors/joey-levin

    A guy who has done nothing for anybody except run internet scams. Invented - nothing. Created - nothing but middlemen who feed of true inovators.

    Ugh. Stupidity is contagious. Define a monopoly exactly and legally in how it applies to Apple, and only Apple apparently.

  • Qualcomm thinks it can make a laptop chip better than Apple's M1

    Okay.  So what OS are you going to run on these new devices?    Android?   Chrome OS?   An updated version of Microsoft ARM that failed years ago?  Without a firm OS and app software plan, Qualcomm's whole plan is half baked.    

    Apple will have M2 already in the market in 2022,  M3 about to launch, and have years of refining its OS and app support.  

    Last,  Apple is about to gut Qualcomm's iPhone business when it launches its own cellular silicon in the next 2-4 years.  

    Right now -  this IS as good as gets for Qualcomm. 

    The number of lawsuits from Qualcomm to Apple will be excessive. To paraphrase a statement from announcement of macOS Tiger at WWDC 2006: San Diego, start your litigation.
    Apple already negotiated IP rights with Qualcomm as part of the settlement.  Apple will still pay Qualcomm an amount (smaller) for each unit for that IP 

    Chance of litigation:  1% 


    Yes. Qualcomm basically runs a takedown patent troll business out of Texas. They are cutting edge in no way unless you think Dell is cutting edge. Plus it's Texas. I'm suprised they don't run their chips on oil only.

    I doubt Qualcomm will be able to match Apple’s performance while having to deal with Microsoft. It doesn’t really matter to Mac users because it will never run macOS. 
    It's an odd statement. I don't think anyone wants them to, and I don't think anyone asked them to, and I don't think they have any particular love of what they do but have a plan to get Windows on ARM. Certainly ARM has advantages but there are other paths as well. I think Qualcomm just likes to pretend it's more than a patent troll and looks for opportunities to get their name out there. So make some chips. And...then... PROFIT!

    If NUVIA's performance claims are true, the Phoenix will be quite competitive right out of the box:



    In terms of GPU, DSP (AI) and modem, Qualcomm already has Apple beat, so I'm not sure why this is such a mystery to everyone, CPU is their main bottleneck.

    As far as OS goes, they're already working closely with Microsoft for Windows 11 on ARM.
    No. I can make stuff up and give non-real world results too. But we all know that's, what do you call it, fantasy. Qualcomm is more a patent troll than a cutting edge tech company.
