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

    About the coolest thing since the original iPhone is the iPhone I have now. $10,000 would not be worth it.

  • Apple will make big interface changes in watchOS 10

    My wife was pretty upset about UI changes that made the 5 day forecast fill up the available space instead of todays weather. She can't read the 5 day forecast at all because it is far too small, and for the life of me I have not been able to get it to go back to just the current weather. I hope they will being back the ability to just see what's going on right now.

  • Apple launches Apple Pay Later, but only for selected users

    I don't get why it has to be a debit card. All that is doing is coming straight out of your bank account. Can't they just take the money directly from the bank account? I already have my AppleCard being auto-drafted as it is.

    China’s continuing aggression and warnings of conflict if the U.S. doesn’t “change course”, along with the possibility of sending lethal arms aid to the Russians in Ukraine is spooking the world. It’s amazing that Xi is willing to risk China’s economic future. Europe played footsies with Russia for decades thinking being nice and playing ball would keep the Russian Bear satisfied. Then Putin showed up. Now Xi has designs on the East. You have two cultures that have never experienced democracy and have always been ruled by emperors or dictators. What did you expect?

    After WWII the world had Pax Americana for close to eighty years. Is that gone today?
    If you take a step back, rub your eyes and take a fresh look, you might see a different picture. 

    BRICS and the BRI/DSR have managed to pull in most of the world. 

    Now the US is facing dollar pushback and the very real possibility of being overtaken in technology output. 

    If anyone is spooked and scrambling to change course it is the US. 

    Reality says (and you can check it yourself) that the BRI has basically run through all of Latin America, Africa and Asia. Middle East is pivoting to China and Russia doesn't have too many options.

    What's left? Not much and China trade with the US and EU is nothing to be scoffed at. 
    Nice acronyms.
