Apple Hiring Automotive Experts
An anonymous reader writes: A report at the Financial Times (paywalled) says Apple is on an aggressive hiring push to pick up automotive experts. Recent rumors suggest Apple is putting together a transportation research lab, and nobody outside the company is quite sure why. It's unlikely they's want to build an entire car themselves, but quite possible they see a big space for Apple technology within motor vehicles, much as Google seems to. They already have CarPlay, and it will doubtless grow, but we still don't have anything approaching a dominant platform for car software. Whatever they're working on, it looks like the competition for more robust computer technology in cars is heating up.
No thanks. We've seen the marxist empty promises destroy enough lives.
My car is over 10 years old and will still go about as fast as it did when I bought it, new. My iphone 4 is way younger and runs nowhere near as quickly on the latest iOS as it did on previous versions. These apple cars will be real unpopular after about the third software version upgrade when they can only do 20 miles/hr and need to be traded in for something thinner.
Nullius in verba
Google already has a developed and working self driving car, but just you wait, in 2 years they will have the 'next big thing' and it will be a self driving electric car. And it was all their idea in the first place anyway.
This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
That is how communism has been applied historically - Russia, China, a few other smaller players. Communism isn't about concentrating wealth. The particular groups that took power in those countries are about concentrating wealth. They just happened to be using communist imagery and rhetoric.
What's interesting is that your picture of a wrecked communist country is very similar to how American "capitalism" is playing out.
