Microsoft did not prosecute this or file suit - the US Justice Department did. If you want Microsoft's take on this, they responded on their blog after the negative press: https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/

I have a question - why does the fab machine lithographic printing etch out a half a chip on the edge of the wafer like in the article picture. I presume the wafers are a standard 300mm size, so is it just because the designers were too laz

Apple actually does this with a few different commodities. It sources Aluminium directly from mines and smelters in Australia [1], and prefers these type of deals over buying materials on dubious secondary markets like it is forced to do fo

You're right. This is Tesla's framing to get comparisons articles like these. The Tesla Model S should be compared to mid-range BMW's and Mercedes and the shipping numbers for those German models far eclipse the Tesla Model S

A loss of $3.45 Billion for the year - that is absolutely mind blowing. That is a net loss of USD $393,000 per hour for every hour of 2017.

Amazon only counts the revenue they make from third party sales in the actual transaction cost (small percentage of sale price). Alibaba counts everything even though they give most back to the vendor. They're very different numbers.

I'm with Kaiser Permanente (switched from a PPO) and have been for two years and I absolutely agree with your comment - in SF they have brand new world class facilities in the dog patch neighborhood near me and I can book and see a doc

Amazon Redshift is not actually based in Postgres, it just supports a Postgres interface. It is built on top of technology from the massive parallel processing (MPP) data-warehouse company ParAccel which was acquired by Actian, and licenced

Don't be fooled. The W3C does not even set the standard for HTML5 - it's developed by WHATWG and then periodically the W3C just makes a copy and throws away all the GIT history and erases the acknowledgments section and publishes

It's also not difficult to take a picture of every document with the right downwards facing camera rig either, and much quicker. That way you can do cleanup and orientation correction in post processing. Both ways beat not doing any di

They even change date formats within the same section of the website, so no consistency at all. They use a slash in their date "9/25" for a Beats offer at the bottom of https://www.apple.com/mac/
