Again from the article: “A person familiar with the analysis told Reuters it had been conducted by global firm Nardello & Co and that customers could ask for more detail on that company’s findings.” So ask if you are interested.

From the article: “Nardello tested samples of motherboards in current production and versions that were sold to Apple Inc and Amazon.com Inc, which were both named in the article, the person said.” At some point it is up to Bloomberg to sho

What’s a programmer? I’m very good at breaking down old code and making it modern. Does that mean I’m a good programmer? For that task, yes. In general, the jury is still out.

If you aren’t excited by the Apple Watch then this makes sense. The only major new success has been the watch. AirPods are also a huge success but it is hard to see it as a separate product category like the watch. But how many successful n

Who ships a phone with the 7nm chip first? I’ll have to get the exact quote but I think Apple said first 7nm chip in a phone. When is Huawei’s phone shipping? Apple’s is here in 2 weeks.

If you didn't develop in that timeframe you might not get the difference between then and today. It takes forever to look things up so you end up memorizing instead. And it isn't a big deal because the number of things needed to b

I used to be a "rock star" programmer. I could run rings around my coworkers. I wrote an embedded OS for running machine tools (I had help.) Back then, you read books and memorized everything. I knew x86 assembly and could use a l

He is already Canadian. He said so during the interview but the accent is a dead give away.

I tried to delete it but you were too quick to answer so deletion was blocked. The question was clearly answered in the article.

Nevermind. Should have read the article. I thought it was the same as the one I saw over the weekend.

Interesting that neither Kay nor the interviewer seemed aware of Swift Playgrounds. I would have loved to hear his criticisms of that environment as a teaching tool for kids. It seems to be targeted at 8-12 year olds given the graphics. I w

This approach has a problem. Not everything can be relegated to a fixed schedule. For example, I have a friend taking next week off to go eclipse watching. How is that accommodated with a mandatory week off every 8.

Wow. I can close my eyes and picture the two different speech patterns and hear different results. Bizarre.

Are these the same Chinese battery companies that lost out on the hoverboard gold rush because the quality of their batteries was so low that would spontaneously explode. If so, I don't think Tesla has that much to worry about.

Probably already done since this was fixed in April/May by Intel. There has been at least one update since then.

I have a very old one. I was working on a embedded system using an Intel 80186. The ‘186 had a memory mapped IO system that was very unusual for Intel x86 CPUs. The code that I started with was originally written by a bunch of Motorola 6800

And they got the reason why manufacturers are going to move to PCIe 4 wrong. It has nothing to do with bottlenecks to video cards and everything to do with freeing up lanes. Pretty awful article.

I always love quotes like this: "All jewellery had a magical meaning for ancient people. Bracelets and neck adornments were to protect people from evil spirits, for instance." And we know this how? Maybe it was just made to be pre

The ergonomics of the AirPods are definitely worth a lot to many people. When used in conjunction with the Apple Watch, you never have to reach for your iPhone for audio. It works great and the sound is adequate when I'm exercising or

With a 98% satisfaction rating, I would think that most people who own them are going to say approximately the same things.

100's of millions of people use Apple's wired earbuds. These sound somewhat better. Not surprising that for most uses of mobile audio, they are better than good enough.

I asked politely to not be tracked by using the opt-in switch in my browsers. Advertisers literally laughed at that and said they wouldn't honor it. So now ads are blocked on my browser. All of them. The advertising industry and the pe

There are several of those types of comments here where we are discussing Apple's record quarter. You really think people weren't saying Apple is doomed after what HN thought was a weak release of new MacBook Pros?

Worse shape? Apple had a record number of phones sold. Mac sales are important but not that important. How many other companies sold 18,455,000 PCs and tablets last quarter? Sales of PCs and tablets are declining everywhere, not just at App

Mac unit sales increases were negligible but revenue was up significantly showing that it was likely MacBook Pros that contributed to the growth. Unit growth was 1.2% while revenue was up 7.4%.
