  • Apple's AR headset, new MacBook Air -- what to expect from WWDC 2023

    If Apple uses a rubber strap on a set of goggles, lottal people gonna get mad when it yanks their hair! Sure works that way with the "sport strap" on the Apple Watch, for us Eastern Europeans with hairy arms!
    Epilator? 😁

  • Lock screen, Apple Music changes now expected for iOS 17

    Another rumor about a meaningless feature. Surprise, surprise. 
    Meaningless for you perhaps. Are you so narcissistic that you believe only you know what is meaningful for everyone?

  • TSMC is continuing to complain about 'unacceptable' US chip plant terms

    Madbum said:
    That is exactly what happened. TSMC is not at fault here. I work with Taiwanese people and they are trust worthy and will abide by any deal they sign. They are not the issue here, sleepy joe is 
    Darth Biden says he has altered the deal. Pray he doesn’t alter it any further.

    Geez, what a bunch of whiners. They knew what things looked like going in. Maybe they thought if they stamped their foot and cried enough that the government would fold like the State of Wisconsin did. Dudes, you sighed a contract, hold up your end or pay the penalty. You don’t want to be double taxed? Talk to the government of Taiwan. 

    As far as their bi*ching about how Americans don’t work hard enough. We may not work as hard as you’d like but you see your employees as replaceable, disposable pieces that can be used up and thrown away. In the west we put a higher value on the welfare of our fellow citizens. Once again you knew this going in, so shut up or GTFO. 
    Oh please there’s no real upside to manufacturing in the US besides currying political favor with you yokels. The cons otoh are legion and include but not limited to drive by racist attacks on TSMC executives. 

    End of the day Americans will buy their chips regardless of where they are manufactured because you need them, and it’s far cheaper to ship the product then deal with you over entitled snowflakes (and that’s Americans in general not just the left)

  • Users won't give up their iPhones for $10K, and that makes Apple 'wonderful' says Warren B...

    If you're an Apple user and somebody offers you $10,000, with the the only proviso [that] they'll take away your iPhone and you'll never be able to buy another," he said, "you're not going to take it.

    That’s a very silly statement. Most people I know would take it in a heartbeat. Lose the iPhone, that would be unfortunate, but $10k would get me a nice Mac, and other things that would make up the difference. 
    Most of the people you know are just broke I’m guessing.
