Is it even possible to install Linux on a mac natively? Last time I tried you couldn't even boot off linux on a flash drive because of restrictions they put in the firmware.
Total amount of taxes paid means nothing; they are one of the richest companies they SHOULD be paying more than anyone. Are they the largest contributor in terms of percentage of revenue?
You know what, in that circumstance everyone is still personally responsible for $Y. I have underpaid taxes myself my accident in the past, and there was no one giving me a break because I was given the wrong information. It doesn't matter who the wrong information came from, the tax payer is responsible for understanding what they are liable to pay, period.
But it's not premature at all, things are rapidly moving to USB-C
Really? Apple consulted all their users and made sure they had more USB-C flash drives and hubs then USB-A so that they wouldn't be hurting convienence? I must have missed my turn.
What applications just work? I use Inkscape a lot and it is brutal to use on osx, yet it works on windows and linux just fine. It's the same with almost any open source application I buy. Sure I could pay $50 for a text editor on osx and it would work, but in that case I would expect an expensive application to work anywhere.
Except they took the deal with Ireland despite the fact that it was an illegal agreement with the EU. I have a hard time believing there wasn't a little bit of selective ignorance applied there.
Apple makes a lot of money by removing freedom. People are not free to fix their devices. People are not free to use any platform to develop for iOS. People are not free to install apps from anywhere. People are not free to access a filesystem directly on iOS. People are not free to find a complete replacement for iTunes, you will always have to come back to it for some purpose. Never has any company been able to apply so much manipulation to users of their products. On top of that, they are doing everything they can to rob people of income through taxes which is something societies desperately need. It makes me sick to tell you the truth.
In 20 years we have made it from AI playing Chess to AI playing Go. Appreciate that Go is much more similar to Chess than, say, driving a car. Multiply that difference by 20 years and you have some idea how long AI is still going to take.
No it will be higher because corporations aren't going to pass the savings from automation on to you. They will have to give that extra money to shareholders, or they will lose investors to a company that will. Besides, even if it is lower, if you're not working you can't afford it anyway.
The invention of the jackhammer or the front-end loader isn't an apt comparison because they still require a person to operate them. Wait until all construction tools require *no one* to operate them, which is basically what corporations are looking for from AI. Then see what the construction industry looks like.
To a CEO, a good product is one that sells, and Apple devices sell primarily because of lock in to the ecosystem. Of course he has good years if he sets the bar that low.
The truth is, there is very little that transfers from the game of Go to customer service or driving. So AI is going to have to get way smarter than playing Go to be effective, and look at how long it took to make AI simply win at Go.
This line has become very tired. You'll have to do a lot more work to convince people that this should just be accepted. At least point out one single future industry that will still need many highly paid domestic workers, or explain how the pre-globalism past has any bearing on what will happen in the post-globalism future.
I think people are demanding that American companies not profit from child labor. No it isn't our job to make the situation better for these people but we don't have to benefit from it either. If you really want to help these people, then you need do something very different than paying their masters.

I could never recommend to people that they buy Apple, knowing that you don't really get much in return for the added cost.

Heck, they even made it impossible for people to buy a $10 pair of headphones.

How do we mark the article +1 flamebait?

Yet people are so insane for lower prices, they don't tend to care.

Really, they're using GPS mapping in Pheonix? That isn't even real automated driving.
Using these companies is not creating a desirable effect either, so you wasting your time on an absolutely moot point.

The things we want can easily be made by people in other countries. That's the problem.
I think Swype's problem is that the Android built-in keyboard now has their 'killer feature' which was to be able to swipe between the keys to type.
If all foreign companies pulled out of all companies employing child labor they would clean up their act pretty quick.

I wonder how much of BIG FAT NOTHING will Muskie do about this?
