  1. Re:Tim Cooks? on Intel CEO Exits President Trump's Manufacturing Council (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    "
    For Apple's part, Tim Cook last week pointed out numerous ways he disagrees with Trump, but stated that his personal beliefs weren't enough to make him walk away from the Trump administration's councils, because he felt the need to keep the bigger picture in mind. "At the end of the day, I’m not a person who’s going to walk away and say, “If you don’t do what I want, I leave.” ... But I care deeply about America. I want America to do well. America’s more important than bloody politics from my point of view."

    Not sure there's anything good to be brought in to a guy that does only what he thinks is right (or profitable to his family).

    I'm quite disappointed Tim Cooks is still on that comity. Sure he was noble to put his personal life out of a decision that concerned his employers, although Apple is generally quite outspoken for their support of LGBT, all while WH trashes on them. But still standing besides him with the rest of the insanity that goes on in that administration is, IMO, insane.

  4. It's not a guess when the article states 50% of all Google ad revenues come from iOS.

    Google fucked with Apple, using their privileged early access to the device & SKDs by cloning most aspects of it and try to undercut Apple's new market. They might have the numbers, but they fail at the margin. So they're stuck continuing paying Apple's license in order to monetize.

    As for scudd variants, not capable. If kimmy wants to hurt, he's got to do it fast and sending something to reach continental US would take too long and the presumption is, retaliation would come before it goes down, if it reached at all.

    Economics will take care of that. Hellcats are super expensive to own/operate. Moreso than a top of the line Tesla.

    Heck, just a Chevy Volt (of which I own a Gen2), over the course of the 8 year warrantee, you'll save about 25,000$ in gas alone for a 20,000km yearly usage.

  22. Re:Sour Grapes on Amazon Cloud Chief Jabs Oracle: 'Customers Are Sick of It' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    I deal with so many functionality points in Oracle Documents Cloud (aka, Oracle Content) that I'm not even sure what functionality has actually shipped and those that are about to be released in a planned update, so I wont comment on what's there or about to get there.

    But I can tell you it's a whole lot more than a mere document repository.

    While licensing for that (say the iOS client) is yearly (and not lock-in), once you get going with the product line, it's a bit difficult to move this data off to another service because you loose all data integration with other processes (whichever they may be that I'm not comfy discussing right now).

    When a large company moves such infrastructure, the biggest cost is data migration (there are some Oracle groups specialized in that).

    From my perspective though (the iOS client for Documents Cloud), we work hard on new feature and integration. We deal with 4 different server infrastructures behind the scene to link up your data. And despite the cloud offering, we're still working on On Premise where YOU control storage.

    Not going to comment on Amazon's infrastructure but I was not happy to see my Netflix go when S3 had a flat tire. :-)

    My opinion is my own. Not talking for Oracle (my employer) nor am I a representative.
