  • Third ex-Apple engineer charged over Apple Car technology theft

    sflocalsflocal
    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 hope Wang knows that he is now a wanted man the moment he leaves China.  As big a China is, it will feel like a small country for the rest of his life knowing he can't travel to any country that honors warrants and U.S. extradition laws.

    What a piece of garbage.

    Plenty of other places to get lightning cables. Cheaper, too.
    Probably an insurance fire, to get the money to retool for USB-C.
    Seriously... do people like you just sit around and fabricate conspiracy theories because you have nothing better to do in your life?

  • 'Myst' is coming back to iPhone & iPad for 30th anniversary

    sflocalsflocal
    Sign me up for this.  I was a huge fan of Myst and "Riven" when it first came out 30 years ago.  I even bought the "Myst" books which sucked me into that world even more.  Even though it is considered low-tech, to me it still was one of the most amazing games to this day.  The storyline was so captivating and immersive that one could dismiss the slideshow graphics at the time.

    Looking forward to seeing this!

  • Elon Musk orders Twitter to charge $20/month for verification

    Musk isn't stupid.  If someone would come out ahead of all this, it would be him.

    The responses here are really quite arrogant.  If he does in fact come out ahead, it will only prove that the folks here are about as clueless as a bag of dirt in how to run a business.  Whether you love or hate Tesla, considering the success he had from Tesla to SpaceX, I'd wager my money on him anytime compared to the clueless armchair-CEO's here.

  • Apple Watch Ultra debuts as a giant & rugged titanium model

    sflocalsflocal
    I just read on Oceanic's website that the Oceanic app is subscription only.  That news alone may have me rethinking this watch.  At least with my Suunto D6i watch (with Air Integration) I never have to deal with a stupid subscription in order to actually use it.

    That just took all the air out of my sails.  If Oceanic does not offer a one-time fee for lifetime purchase, I most likely not get one.
