  • Intel pulls a T-Mobile

    This smacks of desperation. I’m not an Apple user. I’m an old school Apple hater. I don’t like their locked down ecosystem and can’t stand their operating systems. But I am a fan of some of their hardware and I wish I could use it with other software. Intel must really be feeling the pressure…

  • Amazon canceling books

    Market dominance is a big problem. Amazon has the monopoly on book selling. I was behind Amazon when Apple colluded with book publishers on pricing.
