M$ selling out to the PRC? How si this even news?
M$ has done anything the CPC has asked of them.
Yet, the CPC does nothing about software piracy so M$ continues to lose revenue.

What about when some peeping tom uses one to film your backyard?
I think that if some boob runs a drone over his neighbors yard the neighbor should be allowed to knock it down.
It is already like this with other intrusions. In most places if a tree crosses the property line your neighbor can trim it.
Registration might have curbed some of this as the neighbor could have alerted authorities to the drone.
"Apple didn't want to comment for the story, but it did confirm some things. It says it hires on the basis on qualifications and that all employees -- visa holders and U.S. workers alike -- are paid equitably and it conducts internal studies to back this up."
Apple and SV in general are so full of it, if it were a meritocracy then they would not need H1B maggots.
This is why Cisco, Apple, Microsoft look like they belong in a suburb of Mumbai.
Unfortunately, just because some CEO bought a visa for them does not make them the best and brightest.
Most H1Bers are outright idiots and all seem to be incompetent since there CVs are a complete work of fiction.
If they do start a company in the US it is to take advantage of affirmative action and other handouts and hire more H1B visa holders or outsource.
Most of the flann you think is "science" is nothing but propaganda paid for by groups looking to continue the maggot trade.
There is plenty of real research that shows how much damage H1B has done to STEM and the middle class.
From the US perspective what is so good about H1-B?
It depresses wages and takes a career US citizen and puts them on the dole.
The taxes paid to the US government are far less since the payroll is smaller and the visa worker does not pay taxes here.
In most cases the stockholder sees no long term value as any savings are soon eaten up by ballooning executive compensation and the value of the product or service takes a dump as most of the H1-B are incompetent.
The funny thing is that people probably wouldn't mind this except that government just can't keep out of the honey.jar.
If big gov grew up and showed some ethics and could be trusted to only use this against actual bad people and to throw away the captures it could give them what they want if what they want is just to catch bad guys while not raping privacy.
At least the EU and the PRC are putting all that money they saved on the International (sic) Space Station that the US paid the lion share for and are putting it to good use.
Zuckerberg is better than smart, he is extremely lucky (and evil).
Fakebook was stolen property, but he got rich enough and in bed with government enough to survive that.
Funny that, Pop media had suggested along with rumblings in the tech blogs that Zuckerface was considering a run for office. Why not, he's rich and he has the backing of the alphabet mafia since Fazebook has filled their board with ex 3 letter folks.
Apple didn't have to use commodity hardware but that was not necessarily a bad idea. Apple does not have to compromise on hardware considering what they charge but they obviously do.
No the problem is in the current line even more than the 2013 models, they are way too expensive and as was said earlier the storage options are too small. $1399 for 2T upgrade from 1T available only on the $4k MBP?
The media has said that Apple was to become a services company like Google and wants to sideline the hardware and if that is true then they are doing a great job.
Dude, take out that Apple shaped butt plug and release all of that pent up raeg. You are so full of it that it is coming out of your mouth and on to yer keyboard.
Yep, like you said, no way is USB-C slower than TB3. USB-C has faster real world speeds than TB3, Apple's implementation of Intel's tech is slower.
Thats hilarious, "it's the peripheral, not the computer, that is limiting speed". You mean the interface, the interface is not the computer. >:^) Anyway you invalidate your original argument here. Your suggestion that somehow external storage is a suitable replacement for cheap and fast direct storage. Using the same storage the interface speed makes huge difference.
We don't hate Apple, we are not irrationally emotional about inanimate objects, that seems to be your issue. We do not agree at all with the direction Apple's management are going when it comes to locking out owners and forced obsolescence
Apple has taken cheap commodity hardware and makes it expensive by coming up with ridiculous changes, no for performance or reliability but to lock out user updates and lock in fanbois to Apple support. Anyone buying a current Mac is paying more because Apple needs to recoup development and manufacturing costs for integrating RAM and coming up with new proprietary SSD redesigns that are not better than commodity versions.
Help Apple by using your wallet to show management that you want to be able to upgrade your RAM and SSD and that 1T is not enough, especially for a large, warm black dildo of a desktop.
The PRC as IP king is ironic considering how little respect the PRC has for the IP of others.
The largest piracy site is nothing like Pirate Bay but is Baidu which is owned by the PRC and often has new cinema releases an hour after pressing and way before they make the theater.
It could be pointed out that you think having to connect slow external storage is adequate is a demonstration of consumption of fruity soft drink.
Ignoring the problem of carting around a very expensive TB3 external drive with your more expensive MBP.
Theoretical max transfers of USB-C are 5GB/s, PCIe 2 is 8GB/s and PCIe 3 is 15GB/s.
Real world a fast USB-C is 900MB/s, the PCIe Samsung's SM951 can reads at ~2.2T/s.
(I do find it hilarious that USB-C is faster on commodity hardware then TB3 on Mac)
Fanbois like you are a problem for Apple.
Apple periodically needs a kick in the ass or they will continue to make expensive crap until they are teetering on collapse as has happened before.
The perfume of warming discrete hardware and ozone.
The feeling of release as the dot matrix hammered out a final copy.
The surprisingly entertaining 8 bit music emanating from apps like Phoneman.
Not just US,
BMW is considering offering cars with features present but disabled that can be enabled permanently or rented by the customer with a phone call.
I'm sure they are not the ones considering it.
Another version of this story suggested that some farmers had turned to unlocked copies of the control software to troubleshoot, resolve issues.
It's beginning to look a lot like Gibson...
Poor desperate fanboi,
Real desktops have space for direct storage, external is just t.o.o s.l.o.w.
Apple is going to rape you for that big black dildo shaped piece of mid-level hardware and then you want to be raped again to buy a TB3 (USB-C) drive which is still slower than the cheaper pcie.

Actually if you were operating your Cessena 172 below legal altitude (below 500') you would have a tag so I could report you.
What a joke, Uber gets caught committing fraud and so says it meant to do that while screwing both employees and customers.

Yeah, don't be a moron.
Your source is poor because they are pandering to those who are hiring maggot labor.
H1B has a serious problem with diversity With H-1B visa, diversity doesn’t apply - In computer occupations, India dominates H-1B visa use. .

M$ is spraying flann.
Citizen 4 showed that Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc. were being paid by the alphabet mafia to provide backdoor access.

They might be as only the very rich will live in them.
The rest of us will live in the outskirts.
It's nice to see Paul Allen using his tax deduction to help all of that American talent his company put on the streets.

It will be interesting to see if any execs go to jail or will it be a banker like settlement where Bose pays a fine and admits no guilt.
Ahh the butthurt raeg of the ignorant.
