Apple's battery slowdown is class action lawsuit bad ... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/02/intel_cpu_design_flaw/ The effects are still being benchmarked, however we're looking at a ballpark figure of five to 30 per cent slow down, depending on the task and the processor model. At least Apple can offer battery replacements, what is Intel going to do? |

Oops, not a good start to 2018. Not at all and how many eyeballs looked at processor manuals for over a decade and didn't see a flaw? Security is only as good as the best set of eyeballs. Additional eyeballs add nothing. |

https://www.nasdaq.com/article/three-things-we-should-learn-from-warren-buffett-cm926778 Branding and Good Management Matter: One of the things that we learned over the weekend is that Berkshire’s biggest investments over the past year have been in Apple (AAPL). When asked about that in the above-referenced interview, Buffett gave two solid, informative reasons. Doesn't see to have any investments in "open source" and is sitting on a pile of $116B cash. Is there a lesson there? |

The ultimate surveillance/tracking tool? Within the next 10 years, "everyone will get sequenced at birth", he says, and we'll be able to assess whether we have genetic dispositions to particular diseases and take preventative steps accordingly. Where will it be stored? Will it be hacker proof? |

Government database with public access As for being monetised, police/intelligence/security service fees for starters. |

Government database with public access And people invite that stuff in. Just spent a couple hours at the elderly neighbor cleaning out a browser hijacker. Just a damn PITA. The !@#$%^&*()_!@#$%^&*() who write that crap should lose their right hand, left leg and gonads. |
