The problem with the points system like in Singapore/Hong Kong is that it heavily favours those with college diplomas. Some of the most talented people in tech that I know have no higher education but are self taught experts in their f

Or it could mean that the average maintenance cost is so high the customers are opting not to repair but to buy a new device.

Another reason for the big song and dance about how environmentally friendly they are with recycled aluminium and so on. It stops Greenpeace and other groups shaming them for the environmentally unfriendly practice of creating products that

I just find the mental gymnastics fascinating that they are talking about how these people are living in abject poverty, and yet in the same article have the gall to highlight how people in the US are losing their jerbs. Which is it? Are we

I have an iPhone and a OnePlus which cost half the price. The OnePlus's face recognition is not only faster to unlock but is more reliable.

Apple will keep iterating it until it's almost as good as a real OS but they get to control the walled garden and collect the 30% tax from the entire ecosystem inside it. They'll get there eventually, it's a very profitable l

The worst part is that for many of us, we'd be happier to pay the higher price but Apples giving us LESS. A worse keyboard, no magsafe, no USB-A, worse thermal management, less reliable, more expensive and difficult to maintain.. the l

Apple executives are probably telling themselves these people are just trading in their old laptops for iPads hence why they have been doubling down on iOS for the last 5 years. Milking the entire ecosystem for 30% compared to 0% on a lapto

The thermals on the entry level Macbook pro (non touchbar) is atrocious. It has one less fan than the touchbar model and runs hotter and unless you're in an icy cold room it's guaranteed to make your palms sweaty like a teenager o

Reminds me of a certain company who runs the most profitable smart phone app store. Except Qualcomm ask for only 5% per device.

Of course, if you'd swapped out the word "Caucasian" for "African American" your post would be downvoted and you'd be called a racist. But because we're DEFINITELY not racist mentioning you targeted white

It must be difficult to uphold such strong principles for the free world while routing all your Chinese customer data through government surveillance servers. I guess it's better than the alternative- not selling in your (2nd?) largest

I bet BuzzFeed has a lot of really skilled digital ad guys on staff, maybe the Author is an expert in the field already.

I've always avoided Soy as I read a long time ago that it contains plant based estrogen and can be a problem for men like gynecomastia. Of course, I have no idea if that's true or not but I'd rather not worry about it and jus

What i'd really love is if there was a service where I could pay a technician to take previous generation Macbook Pro with it's excellent keyboard and no touchbar and transplant a new logic board with modern 8th generation intel p

Anecdotally, I've been hit on by women at after-parties of business events almost to the point where it was cringe worthy. But I guess these rules should only apply to men?

Also, as far as successful mating/reproduction strategy goes, an attractive female partner who is also a founder of a tech startup would be pretty high on the list. I wonder if we flipped this survey on it's head and asked how man

The issue is Apple are not going to start use this 3rd party tool and drop their glass back repair price from $549 to $149. People will need to still take their phones to 3rd parties to get a reasonable price. This is why we need 3rd party
