  • iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra -- specs, price, & features compared

    sdw2001sdw2001
    What Samsung has introduced is a serious contender to the throne of best smartphone, one that should make Apple a little worried.


    Worried? About what? Samsung makes a great product.  They produce a slick device with bleeding edge specs.  But it’s not like this one product is eating Apple’s lunch.

  • Epic's Tim Sweeney is mad about Apple's EU App Store concessions

    Malicious Compliance? Welcome to what companies do.  Apple is not going to just sit back and make less money.

  • Netflix says use Safari on Apple Vision Pro, because you aren't getting an app

    Probably not a bad thing considering their app for Roku TV is a complete piece of trash.

  • Apple's stripping out blood oxygen sensing from Apple Watch enough to skirt import ban

    I am glad. Whether you like or dislike Apple, medical devices should have some exception to other product categories.

    That being said, I hope Masimo gets reimbursed for their troubles.
    So medical devices should be exempt from intellectual property laws? I don’t think so. 

    This whole thing is about money. I know that sounds obvious, but what I mean is Apple controls the entire process. They decided it would be more cost-effective to fight it and make changes on the periphery.   They could’ve simply cut a big check to license the technology. Who knows what they want for that. Let’s say they wanted $250 million. That’s a core technology for them and the company has a market cap of a little over 6 billion. Apple likely figured that fighting it in court and making changes would cost less.  Let’s say 50 million.  Ultimately, Apple will win either way. They’re not simply going to tuck their tail between their legs and not sell the Apple Watch anymore. If push comes to shove, could buy Masimo 30 times over just with its cash-on-hand.

    Unlike most uber CEOs, he probably earned it. That being said, tax the rich like we did back in the good ol' 1950s.
    That’s a common misconception. The rates were higher, but almost no one paid them. The income limits were high enough that most people never got to that top rate. And when I say most people, I mean even the so-called rich.  The rich already pay the lion’s share of taxes in this country.
