  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch review: Putting Apple's 'pro' claim to the test

    longfanglongfang
    I’m currently using the 10.5 iPad Pro, just waiting for availing in my country to get the 11. As far as iPad v laptop goes, the iPad is used 90% of the time. The Macbook is only around because there isn’t an Indesign alternative for iOS atm.

    So, a Trillion dollar company won't include the dongle with their newest, most expensive 2018 phones.   I wonder if we will be able to buy it at the Apple store for $39.99?    I see how they have become a trillion dollar company.    Ugh.....it may be time to reevaluate my loyalty to Apple....  
    You’ve always been able to buy it separately and it costs $9. So either you are deliberately obtuse or your “loyalty” is fake news.

  • EU slaps Qualcomm with $1.23 billion fine over illegal chip payment to Apple

    Good !
    How is is good when another major US tech company gets slapped with a huge fine by the EU kleptocracy?  Do you really think the EU gives a shit about protecting Intel’s interest or just doing a money grab because they can?

    Granted Apple and Qualcomm is fighting right now but so what? I like cheering on Apple beating Qualcomm or Google as much the next guy here but it’s still “in the family” so to speak.   

    When foreign governments make moneygrabs against US companies, even the ones I’m meh about, it’s a money grab against the US stock market and a money grab against the economy of the US.  I’m sure I have Q buried in some fund or another.

    Qualcomm is just like HP, Westinghouse, Motorola, IBM, DEC, Sun, Intel, Apple, AT&T, Microsoft.  Some of those still around, some of those not (or just in name).

    Ever hear of the Viterbi algorithm?  Invented by a co-founder of Qualcomm, Andrew Viterbi. 

    So it’s another one of US’s inventor/founder tech companies.

    Samsung they can beat on like a drum all day long and I don’t much care.
    Well if Qualcomm doesn’t want to be fined they don’t have to do business in the EU. What’s that you say? There’s profits to be made there? Then you abide by EU regulations.
