If your primary need for a computer is managing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations then you'll do well to just get a Chromebook and use Google Docs. It's a cheap, easy, and powerful solution if that's all you need.

How much time and attention has Trump devoted to this rather than doing his actual job?

Google is quietly exiting that business anyway to focus on AI. I seriously doubt they were planning on renewing their contract with Apple.

It's time for the entire computer industry to wisen up to one important fact: the party is over. Our phones are good enough. Our tablets are good enough. Our laptops are good enough. It took us 40 years to get here, but here we are. I

Because of this surveillance, people buying Tesla vehicles are aiding in the building of a police state. Here's the crazy thing: the Tesla owner has no idea that the police are using data collected by their car. Now you know the real r

In the US we have video evidence of off-duty policy officers stoking protests in order to have them shut them down. The police "fail" to bring these people to justice. It's a fun little game they play, isn't it?

I can't grant legitimacy to a government that criminalizes the public wearing masks to protect their identity during a protest, yet allows their agents to wear masks, not wear badges or uniforms, or present warrants when kidnapping per

The traditional model of containers as lightweight processes managed by a general-purpose operating system is increasingly showing its age. Why should containers be guests of an OS when they can be the OS? Instead of relying on a monolithic

Apple's real problem is that people have stopped caring about keeping up with the latest iPhone. No matter which model you have, you have a solid camera, reliable connectivity, good music features, and an extensive app ecosystem. In sh

GAI needs to be careful how it optimizes without our noticing. Since we're using GAI for decision support, it's conceivable it could be subtly nudging us toward decisions ultimately leading to our demise.

AI isn't the problem - people wielding AI are the problem. The same was true with the steam engine and the Industrial Revolution. Our economic system is entirely man-made, it's not real. If AI puts people out of work and as a re

The Domino's analogy is clear, but it oversimplifies a very complex system. Pizzas are delivered FIFO, healthcare isn’t. Patients are triaged by urgency, not order. That alone makes "order tracking" way more complicated. Also

Big talk and lots of hand-waving. I call BS. Those integrations? That is the problem in the enterprise. I don't see how you can wave your magic AI wand and make it all go away. In fact, one of the limitations I see in AI is it doesn&

Thing is, Musk's DOGE team was hoovering a lot of data - and folks on the left were concerned about that, though the folks on the right tended to pooh-pooh the issue. Now that Musk is rogue, everybody should be concerned. We have no id

You're really not understanding how much people hate utilitarian arguments and those making them.

In the United States, approximately 1,100 children under the age of 13 die each year in motor vehicle crashes. Not that it matters, because you're still making a utilitarian argument, and the majority of people, including Americans, re

Calling it a "joke" doesn't excuse the comment, as it highlights a serious lapse in judgment. The public expects competence and clarity from the National Weather Service, not attempts at humor that downplay responsibility. In
