American companies need to place Chinese nationals under the most intense microscope when given jobs that grant access to U.S. tech.  If they have roots in China, they should have their passports immediately taken.  This is ridiculous.  Shame on the judge that allowed this miscreant to take the thief's word that he would not leave the country.  It's an embarrassment.

I do not understand why Apple does not release the m3 MacBook Pro before the MacBook Air. It gives incentive to consumers to buy the very best.

You do know that the M2 MBP's came out only three months ago right?

Can’t happen soon enough. QC will be junk chips soon enough and have to rely on Android scraps.

These guys are virgins.  They've never had their GiRL track them with that evil machine.  This is my fourth post on this topic.  I still take the bus, and I'm as paranoid as a pint addict turning the bat.  Half my fortune will not be stolen by this machine - I'm serious.

You need to stop listening to the voices in your head.

Nothing to see here folks, move along. It's the same old story, people buy Apple products of their own free will. If there is something you don't like about their products, be it the mandatory WebKit-based browsers on iOS or anything else, you can buy products from another company. 

Apple limits their platform to WebKit because it greatly reduces the number of browser-based attack vectors. Privacy and security are two of the main reasons Apple customers buy Apple products in the first place. It shocks me that so many miss the obvious. 

The ones whining about it are not even Apple's customers.  It's the developers that feel they should have free-reign to do as they please on a proprietary, closed platform.  As a developer myself, I am embarrassed at the childish behavior these developers are exhibiting.  If you don't like the rules, go play elsewhere.  Android - with all the malware problems it has - is where they should be at.
