I actually sent them 3 over the past two weeks but never got a reply. I'm guessing no one stays on top of the inbox.

A few months ago Bloomberg published a story which I'm 99% sure was directed by Facebook PR, in-line with their strategy being reported on in this story [1][2]. Also can any mods t…

>“We’re not going to traffic in your personal life,” Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, said in an MSNBC interview. “Privacy to us is a human right. It’s a civil liberty.” (Mr. Coo…

It's kind of absurd that any company has to make a specific arrangement with Amazon in order to protect their brand. Nike reached a similar deal with Amazon [1]. Last year's ruling…

Apple's unit sales for iPad were declining YoY for a few years (after rocketing out of the gate) before they stabilized. iPhone unit sales have been more or less flat for the past …

Intel's gross margins are high enough (especially on the higher end chips) that it makes sense for Apple to design their own chips for Macs. Rumors are pointing to 2020 for when it…

How would it do anything about the great firewall? All of these services will need their regulatory approval to operate there. Also China has an anti-satellite missile program. htt…

I think you'll like this talk by Anand Giridharadas [1]. He makes the point that the tech industry still thinks they're the pirates and don't realize that they're the navy. [1] htt…
