Apple sues former employee for allegedly leaking to media
No one was paid, he asked for news coverage for a startup, for which a rumor blog doesn’t make sense since it wouldn’t reach the necessary audience!sevenfeet said:
Unlikely. The big financial papers (WSJ, Bloomberg, Forbes) have strict policies against paying for a story. That easily gets a reporter fired, not to mention pay-for-play on a story.ppietra said:"with the complaint addressing alleged misappropriation of trade secrets that were then sold to an unnamed publication in exchange for favorable coverage of a startup."
This almost certainly means that he didn’t leak to a rumour blog!! Probably leaked to someone at a big financial Journal.
More questions than answers right now.
Considering that WSJ, Bloomberg, etc, have been responsible for many Apple rumours in the last few years...

Apple's Mac gained market share in growing PC market
AMD in the last few years has proven that a lot of people will buy Windows PCs without Intel stickers. Intel is no longer synonym for best, which means that people will be exposed to a lot of different advices for machines with other processors.dewme said:
So you're saying that all those "Intel Inside" stickers that have been slathered all over Windows PCs like graffiti are all for naught?canukstorm said:
The average person buying tech doesn't know anything about the processor in the laptop. And they shouldn't have to. But they do understand a laptop that runs cool, runs silent, that has long battery life, and performs well when running apps.22july2013 said:I would expect average people to be turned off by a non-Intel CPU, in the short term.
Actually, I agree, and especially so when it comes to Macs because they've never thrown internals guts-related stuff in consumers faces - and shouldn't. There are a class of buyers who are impressed by stickers and technobabble but I'd say that Mac users just want a great product that they enjoy using for a long time.

That was in the past when all those things meant that the laptop had bad performance. We now see a lot of people contemplating replacing their old top of the line MacBook Pro exactly because they can get longer battery life while running silent, cool and with identical performance.cloudguy said:
Cool, silent and long battery life hasn't driven laptop sales in the past. People who want those things generally buy iPads and other tablets.canukstorm said:

Strong iPhone 12 demand pushes Qualcomm to number one chip designer revenue
No one knows if it is an exclusive deal that would forbid Apple from using its own chips in any of the dozen different products that Apple builds.22july2013 said:Why would Apple work on its own in-house modem chips if it appears that Apple made a 6-year deal with Qualcomm to use its chips (exclusively?)
We certainly cannot assume that Apple is stupid. If it’s investing in building its own modem then it already has a plan for where and when to use it. And considering how expensive Qualcomm 5G modems seem to be...
