Their diesel NOX scandal took years off people's lives. NOW they have the perfect combo of large population base, thriving market and regime in which VW are most comfortable to exploit. The VW solution doesn't make a dent in pollution, smog or improve China's air quality but they need a life line.
Typically, prior years kids were $165/yr to file their little returns. OK, they've progressed to W-2's and 1099's but $400 to file CA and FED is outrageous.

Live performance terminated at-will without cause, by definition a performance art. The Gig Economy is a one-time event all have witnessed, participated or enjoyed. Its real until it isn't. Work lasts a lifetime, real and business organized on the principle of it outlasting the life of its workforce.
Dunno if handheld computing is front and center at Apple any longer.
Visited Apple Store and couldn't visibly see that Apple's line of iPads has advanced. Every one of the iPads looks like they did 4 years ago. Except now a 12" iPad looks small. WTF?
No where was an iPad Mini on display.
Effectively, Tim Cook has obfuscated consumer's ability to compare, contrast and plot a roadmap forward with handheld desktop portables and desktop portables.vs. wired desktop computing.
Tesla telecast a parade of American ingenuity, model after model. Finally model "Y" entered on stage; behold a Tesla launch vehicle for the foreign market space. A model designed for smaller roads, built for smaller budgets and engineered for the future. Tesla's smarter approach separates model "Y" from its other big American Dream models by moving on. Model "Y" can solve the last man problem how to provide affordable, energy neutral transportation down to the last man. Great pivot!
UK,EU,CH,NZ,RU et. al. are GIGA plotting factories in the future.
GRID-TIED infrastructure NM needs deal with Colo and a neighbor to the west Ariz. R.E.C. guys are the long lead items on that timeline. Population centers are few, easy, low hanging fruit and far between is the R.E.C. task of getting that tied affordably. Affordability in NM approaches -$0.00- once in the pucker brush, washes and arroyo's.
Move from NeXT Obj-C to Apple MacOS was brutal code thrash. Three rewrites to the API's in a single year was a coup de grås. Best move ever. We shutdown development until Apple stabilized MacOS X revs. Bought AAPL stock at $17 and dumped the remaining funds in @ $12. AAPL surging stock price ended development.
AAPL have been here before and have the architecture, abstraction and now new silicon under it. What could go wrong? Tim Cook for one. Tim is not a bit twister (little nor big endian) and it all looks like supply pipeline in Tim's eyes.
Personally, Gung-ho for AAPL abstracting the codebase over ARM (MOTO, INTEL, et. al.). QUALCOMM taught Tim the meaning of ' detrimental reliance' as INTEL did SteveJobs. Some lessons don't slot into institutional memory banks. ARM looks like a pivot for Apple down market.
objects people could love. Jonathan Ivie understood why people find a thing imitably attractive; by design.
SteveJobs hated his cell phone. It had a keyboard whose keys would malfunction and break. Its screen was too small to read. It required buying a new cell phone to get the latest feature. Steve Jobs hated features. Features were an artifact leftover from the automobile industry. He thought features were a bullshit way to treat customers; a leftover from the industrial age. Built in software, he could design a phone without the marketing feature gimmicks industrialists sold. People would love a phone that was all screen, love it if buttons didn't break and had features that came "for free"; as in free beer - a software update. He expected it to be his sandbox, until developers convinced him they could make applications for Apple's iPhone. SteveJobs ever the businessman thought apps might be like songs people buy on iTunes. Pivot. AppStore gave people what they needed, smartphone apps in waves of utility. It wasn't intended to give them what they wanted – iTunes was; AppStore was its clone.
SteveJobs understood that success was a function of under stating promises and exceeding expectations. Once apps became better written, the AppsStore literally had " an app for that" - anything you wanted. The best became extensions of our lives enabling time shift efficiency, remote presence and geometric progressions of power and influence. The iPhone was exceeding all expectation.
People feed on memes, the state of culture has become this state-of-the-art competitive meme driven marketplace that without smartphone enhancement people would literally be lost, at a loss or lose out completely in business, social and professional life. Memes are addictive, they feed on our insecurities, promise us what we want and succeed beyond expectations. So the cycle continues...
I'm a musician who's always played ' live'. Computer don't scale my instrument of choice. Glitches in realtime performance and the cost to overcome, exceed the expense of simply buying an analog instrument.
I don't do studio, but respect those who do. Its a different gig. I've witnessed programmers run circles around musicians with sounds, layers and compositions to the extent that they are humanly in-concert un-performable without computer. I've witnessed aging, retiring legends perform 'live' mimicking their instrument while looping a track. I've invested in software instruments only to have the vendor reach down into my machine to replace the tonal pitch map. Completely ended 8mo. project to loft a platform onto stage. You don't own the software, the instruments nor the rights to the music created in pitch, tone or timbre. Manufacturer's do.
Sheesh... can Tim Cook possibly innovate something new rather than rebrand inherent Obj-C ability to abstract over multiple platforms?
This capability was built last century by NeXT. Its not simple to update it to iOS. BUT it's an inherent attribute of the language both MacOS X and iOS operating systems share. The two aren't compatible. I don't see the value in masquerading a dingy as a cruise ship. It would be the ultimate undoing of MacOS X desktop to trivialize applications down to iOS thumbnail capability running on a workstation class OS. There's nowhere to go but down. Seriously? I guess AI and AR are just around the corner then. People don't need no stinking power just keyboard and screens!
They don't scale and def don't sound melodic, lyrical or real. Just try bells on a laptop then plug into FOH system. You'll understand dynamics in an instant.
At some level you can only keep up with so many subscriptions. Individuals maybe subscribe to 2 or 3 paywalls. I've moved away from the Bay Area and like those 2 - 3 Baywalls. Keep my couple online paywalls and need national paywalls to keep the pucker-brush from growing between my synapses. SO... needs exist that go beyond mere curiosity, luxury and convenience.
News aggregators feed into paywalls which 'Netflix for news' solves to the degree aggregators feed the monster paywall in the cloud.
Tim Cook's ' More for Less' gangster strategy at its simplest reflects a globalist's mindspeak from an abundance of eyeballs it thinks it owns; hence the offer publishers can't refuse giving up ½ of their revenue.
The monopoly is eyeballs not context or distribution!
I like _how_ Apple Pay ( ApplePay.com) works without exchanging user data. I like Apple products I like Apple core technologies, API's and services.
I do NOT like Apple Pay dropping email bombs with each purchase ( as if they've brokered the receipt too). Apple Pay by definition is a payment platform. AAPL hasn't figured that part out yet. They would do well to spend big on bolting on a backend vendor to their Apple Pay technology. The leverage would yield EFT (i.e. BillPay, CheckPay), deposit and transfers. Beyond piggybacking on a payments platform AAPL would be in the business of transactions processing carrying the water for credit card companies.
I do NOT need another vendor in my wallet, thank you. Apple Pay is just another vendor in different form factor. AAPL will need to earn its place in my transactional history besides piggyback on POS terminals.
â¦_anyone_ could have taken reins of Apple. Enough product was pipelined that Apple could run for the next 10 yrs - doing nothing. Apple would continue to crank out money. SteveJobs knew thatâ¦
Tim Cook did exactly that perfectly. Directors have only themselves to hold responsible for NOT mentoring a creative heir apparent.
Tim did exactly as expected; nothing. Now Appleâ(TM)s pipeline is empty, layoffs follow and whatever happened past 10 years is on the block.
Somewhere between _vaporware â" exclusive_ is a concept. If I had to guess⦠itâ(TM)s simply * unsupportable * at this stage. SO Apple AirPOWER doesnâ(TM)t exist but the marketers are first to blame.

Glad its not our turn again.

Money corrupts absolutely.
This supported by lack of exception
Tim Cook brought it back
Leadership has limits. Tim has found his finally.
Welcome to the future.
Its here.
Anyone know if it is below the 16 bit threshold?
Dunno if handheld computing is front and center at Apple any longer.
