    Slippery slope, Bill, slippery slope.
    It's not a slippery slope. Legal president is more like a jagged cliff.
    Nope, Apple's PRESIDENT won't fall off anything !!!     B)

    "This is a specific case where the government is asking for access to information. They are not asking for some general thing, they are asking for a particular case," Gates said. "It is no different than [the question of] should anybody ever have been able to tell the phone company to get information, should anybody be able to get at bank records. Let's say the bank had tied a ribbon round the disk drive and said 'don't make me cut this ribbon because you'll make me cut it many times'."
    Well know we know for sure, Billie just doesn't understand this subject.
    Of course he didn't understand what those ugly Windows viruses were doing to personal independent Windows users.  :p

  • Apple's iPad Pro outsold Microsoft's entire Surface lineup over the holidays

    Surface Pro is simply stealing share from Windows Ultrabooks or smaller laptops. No one is cross shopping a surface Pro with an iPad or Macbook.

    In related news Google is worth more than Apple even though Apple makes more than 3x more profits.

    Google and Apple are in quite different businesses.
    Apple creates, manufactures and sells  hardware and software.

    Google creates spying software mostly given away for free.
    Google's profit is from advertisers who they spy for.

    I thought tablets were dead?
    That has been the inside investor news.
    "iPhone and iPad dying", so Apple is dying!
    Just kidding at how the bad news people can be so negative on Apple,
      when many of them probably don't even know how an iPad is used.

    Being more serious this really surprises me, because I read so much very positive on the Surface, yet very little on the iPad Pro.

  • What Apple would have to do to comply with Donald Trump's American-built mandate

    How many Apple employees are employed in the US? How much money from foreign sales help pay for that?

    The days of manufacturing anything in one country (or even tracking that sort of thing) are over. Your customers are worldwide. Your supply chain is worldwide. Your manufacturing is worldwide. This is the world today.

    Have a look at countries with protectionist rules like the ones Trump is suggesting: Brazil, Argentina, etc... How are they doing? Do they have a healthy middle class? No, they have worse rich/poor distribution than we do.
    Right on.
    Of course Trump is making a very emotional political statement.
    He'd probably forget what he said, if  "by accident" he became president.
