Speculation about how an embedded x86 works. Just because their desktop focused, non-power optimized products do something, doesn't necessarily mean their embedded line-up does the same. FYI - Apple is a hard driving customer, they do

Then you don't read right. "Decoding x86 instructions and converting them to the processor's internal microcode ..."

Wait what. Where is this article suggesting conversion of x86 to arm assembly prior to execution? Stop making things up. Unless otherwise proven, it's x86 executable running on x86 intel cores within the modem or related compute.

Much Ado about nothing - Intel furnished modem on the iPhone uses x86 instructions!!!

You be ashamed of trying to shame strangers on the interwebs for talking freely! There's plenty of benefits Google's product offers that lineage doesn't. The surprising thing is, this kind of parameter toggling (turning on ba

There's no end to your moral policing of Amazon's wearhouse policies. No matter what they do, you'll find a reason to demonize them. But just to play along with your line of attack - the answer is obvious - it would affect th

Stop making nonsequestirs. If Amazon is breaking laws, sue them. There's no forced labor in warehouses, it's at-will. No one's stopping the unhappy from getting another job. Raise the minimum wage in territories you suspect a

Well beyond reason to assume something pedestrian for you - a developer - to be "reasonable skills" for the average Joe. Do you build your own car? Or bike? Or home? Or even mattress? All of these can be done with reasonable skill

What a bunch of pure horse shit!! Many many US companies make billions, with a capital B serving in China. Apple, for instance, made $9+B in 2017 from China. If anything, ignoring the Chinese market is detrimental to the US economy, as one

Yes yes - how very evil if Besos & Co. to dare follow the law. This socialistic rhetoric is all fun and games till jobs are lost & companies close down - case in point - etsy [1] [1]: https://www.nytimes.com/2017&#x2

Horrible!! They should just follow Apple and outright ban anything other than a wrapper around their own browser, like Apple does on iOS.

Assuming WSJ reporting is accurate, Musk's singular focus needs to be on Tesla's profitability. All his other stunts, from the boring company to Thai submarines need to take a hiatus until he gets Tesla out of this trouble

Disagree. C was the first language I/we learnt, and it's still my favorite. It's a bit like the first language you learn. For someone from the Latin family of languages, Mandarin's verbal & written structure might s

Come on!! Google didn't lawyer up and force a 3-word, confusing brand down Weinberg's throat. If you want to compete with a market leader, whose domain is 2.5 syllables long, and you pick a confusing, 3 word megadomain for a brand

Duck!=DuckDuckGo. If you're picking an awfully long name to compete against what is already a 2.5 syllable verb (Google), who's to blame? Then there's the whole, "But our users only remember Duck" straw-man. Whose

Disclaimer: NOT a Trump fan. This is low quality, sensationalist news. An American citizen congratulating the democratically elected president of his country doesn't constitute news - it insinuates one or all of the below: 1. Trump was

This selective application of reason makes no sense. Trigger a wave of secularism in the Islamic world that surrounds Israel, get them to acknowledge Israel as a country and take off their agenda the destruction of Israel. Maybe then, we ca

Why is this news if the state of Israel has finalized and normalized the practise of it's neighboring billion people - all proud to live in "Islamic" states, mostly under Islamic Sharia law.

I was unaware of iPhone SE's pricing. I stand corrected - you're right about the price.

I get your point, and deifying Apple with falsehoods is indeed a great way to score internet points. But touting Apple fandom as facts is disingenuous here. > Apple never licensed out iOS to the EU or anywhere else: I never implied it

A good OS does not a win in the marketplace guarantee. Windows phone is a case in point. BTW - the suggested response is indeed a logical reaction to EU's illogical charges. True choice is allowing phones @ $150 - $1500 to exist, custo

EU's charges are a sham. I hope Google gives the EU regulators exactly what they deserve: Google should outright stop licensing Android to manufacturers in the EU (like Apple), make the OS closed source (like Apple), disable side-

Give the EU what it really really wants. In response to the three charges [1], if you apply the business formula of the other player (Apple) in the market, implications on choice and freedom really do unfurl. So here is the counter to the t

Apple is generally full of shit. They'll refuse to unlock a terrorist's phone in the US but will get on all fours for the Chinese government's absurdly unreasonable requests. And they'll gladly throw users privacy under
