  • Pundits believe Apple's Jony Ive no longer involved in iPhone, Mac product design [u]

    I don't think the iPhone is going to nor can change much design wise. The coming design tweaks will all be technology related.

    Tim Cook

    just hire the BEST PEOPLE. Oh I forgot. That means Tim Cook needs to fire himself. Never mind.

    Could that be the reason why Cook is such a champion of diversity? Never thought of that before.
    It's such a silly notion that there's just one best person for a job. The issue is that it's never really known who the best person is. Qualifications on a piece of paper means nothing. Did anyone think Tom Brady would become probably the best QB of all time, or that Dak Prescott would play at such a high level right out of college? People just need a chance to prove themselves.

  • Apple axes Wi-Fi router division, apparently signaling the end of AirPort

    While I think Apple's products definitely simplified the set up, I can understand why they'd axe it - most internet subscriptions already come with a wireless router. There isn't much point in buying one from Apple.
    Which are utterly crap.

    I wouldn't expect the fanboys here to agree with me, but I agree with the DA. Maybe when we have another 9/11 or someone kills tens of thousands in an attack people will change their mind. For now, the least apple can do is take the encrypted chat apps off of the App Store.

    I have a feeling apple will start to be comfortable with backdoors in their software after China forces it on them. The Chinese just passed legislation forcing tech companies to assist in investigations. The time is coming people....just a matter of when. If you think western govts. are going to sit back and let Silicon Valley call the shots in the face of increasing threats, you're mistaken. Without govt having access to data from cellphones you risk them enacting draconian measures like banning all Muslim immigration, etc. 

    The idiots at the FBI, and the CIA had all the information to stop 9/11 and failed to do so. I'd prefer a world that keeps my data out of their hands and anyone else.

    The poor and lower middle class who have been left out of the economy for the past two decades due to globalist elites might still be worth supporting. (note: all wealth gain has gone to the top 1% in the US since the 1970s) Because our current system (and that proposed by the dems) is that it is better to not have a job than have a job that you don't want (one reason the dems voicing support the US economy losing 2 million people in the workforce due to the affordable care act), it could be an improvement to actually raise costs and reduce taxes. Consider: walmart pays their workers next to nothing because of the tacit agreement with the elite that their workers will be subsidized an additional $18 or so from our taxes in the form of earned income tax credits (for example). tl;dr: We could raise costs and lower taxes and improve the quality of life for Americans. Is it worth propping up the anti-human right Chinese govt. with our innovative technologies and growing their economy while our 99% suffer?
    Or we could actually make multibillion dollar corps actually pay taxes, living wages, keep jobs in America, and make BUYING that allows all these illegal.

    Communist/Socialist drivel.
    And?
