Wait a second… Where will Judge Koh get paper books?  I’m sure it’s listening to this amazon news.

Is there max on the Unified Memory the graphics system will consume in the new M1s?  Is this something I should consider when sizing the base memory?

Lord help us if this action forces Apple to use Bing

No, it wouldn’t remotely do that. 

More likely it would force Apple to offer users a choice of default search browser when setting up a phone.. Of course, everyone will then choose Google anyway.

the irony is that this could be great for Google. Most iOS users will still pick them but now they don’t have to pay Apple anything. 

Then the DOJ will file suit that Google paid Apple to put Google at the top of the list.

Wouldn't businesses be more compelled to move to countries with consistently predictable government? The USA has been experiencing an unusual amount of political instability in the last few years, what is the business case to heavily invest in a country where the tables may be flipped on you on a moments notice.

Few years...  Since 1776.  Jeez, read a book.

Bush, Clinton, W, Trump, the swings are getting more extreme evert iteration. Looks like an oscillating feedback amplification loop. 

1804, the sitting VP shot to DEATH the former Sec of State and father of the first US bank causing his death in an illegal duel and was never prosecuted.  And you say 41?  Yes, lets look to stable governments in China where doctors and journalists are vaporized.  I mean democracy, right?  King George VI much?  The governing document and system of laws in the US is from 1789.  Find me one older and more stable.
