Intel claims CPU security flaw not unique to its chips, implies ARM and AMD chips could be...
Bit of a swerve from Intel. Only the weaker, far less probable flaw impacts AMD, while the more severe flaw impacts Intel. They word it as if they're both equally bad off.

Extreme OLED test finds Apple's iPhone X takes much longer to 'burn in' images than Samsun...
Good stuff. Apple probably knew too well that burn in on a Galaxy in two or three years would just be shrugged at and people would move on, while burn-in on an iPhone would become a *gate that people bludgeoned users with.

Apple Park office chairs cost nearly $1,200 apiece, handpicked by designer Jony Ive
I guess I'm one of the few not finding the price eye popping at all? In my office we have 850 dollar ergonomic chairs of some sort per person (some kept their price tags). Moving from that to 1200 from a "normal" company moving up to Apples scale doesn't even lift an eyebrow from me.If your office is lawn chairs, ask for better chairs, they're 8 hours a day (and often more) of your life, they matter. A bad chair can screw you up just as good as a bad bed or bad shoes, do not skimp on anything you spend a lot of time on.

Apple details iMac Pro's T2 chip, which handles secure boot, system management, ISP, more
"The data on your SSD is encrypted using dedicated AES hardware with no effect on the SSD's performance, while keeping the Intel Xeon processor free for your compute tasks."
That's what I was waiting on confirmation on, if it eliminates the APFS encrypted performance hit. Sounds like a yes, I'd still like to see tests

18-core iMac Pro starts at $7,399, ships in 6-8 weeks, can be maxed out for $13,199
That's...Honestly not as high as I expected it would go! The tower Mac Pros and Power Mac G5s could get well into decent car territory.
My only wish is it was more configurable, I need a lot of CPU for my big data workload, but Vega Pro is a wasted cost, while someone training Metal 2 neural nets would go max GPU. Hope the Mac Pro provides that ability to min/max different components.
