#Guardian on #Apple EU tax issue. Maybe out of jealousy? Making huge losses even as a big innovator in news sector. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/aug/30/the-guardian-view-on-tax-and-ireland-apple-pay-your-way
$20/month 2TB #iCloud is expensive, pay $99 a year to #Microsoft and get 1TB for 5 users and get #Office365 with it. http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-beefs-up-icloud-drive-storage-capacity-to-2tb/
Started using #iOS10 beta on my main phone and wireless headset. I am so ready for the #Apple keynote next week. http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/29/12429510/apple-iphone-7-event-date-announced
#Apple ordered to repay €13B in tax by the EU. How many years will this case drag on before they see the money? http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37220799
All rumours on minor external changes to new #iPhone next week. Does it matter? Since 2006, all #Apple #Macbooks (Powerbooks) look similar.
#Microsoft needs to learn that 4-5 hours per charge is not enough. #iPad and #MacBooks can all do full 8h+ work day.

It's not a secretive hardware lab if #Facebook allows #CNN to film inside it. Try that with #Apple or #CIA. http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/03/technology/facebook-area-404-hardware-lab/
It's not hard to imagine the next #AppleWatch will have longer battery life. http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/08/28/photo-hints-at-bigger-334mah-battery-in-second-gen-apple-watch
Glad to see that the traditional way still works. Hard work pays off. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/retirement/seniors-turning-to-uber-airbnb-and-gig-economy-for-extra-income/ar-BBw0PRf?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=UE07DHP
#Nokia is a strong brand in mobile. But is it enough to take grab sizeable market share in 1-3 or even 3-5 years? http://www.androidauthority.com/new-nokia-smartphones-confirmed-q4-2016-710592/
#Uber taking on taxi sector is proving difficult enough to not lose billions of dollars, now they take on transit? http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/25/technology/uber-plus/index.html?iid=SF_River
#AppleMusic had 15m paid subscribers less than #Spotify back in June. #EE added 14m subscribers in 2015. Go figure. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/08/25/ee-launches-first-uk-mobile-phone-contract-bundled-with-apple-mu/

I like how #WhatsApp said they have a partnership with #Facebook. You don't have a partnership with your owner. https://blog.whatsapp.com/529/Setting-the-record-straight
#Facebook paid $16B for #WhatsApp, anyone silly enough to believe they won't rip value (users and data) out of it. https://blog.whatsapp.com/529/Setting-the-record-straight
Hard to say if #Alphabet is good for shareholders, to chase after short term P&L or drive industry changes with projects like #GoogleFiber.
#Alphabet will be much leaner and meaner, all the moonshot projects can't hide behind #Google's growth easily now. http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/25/12652734/google-fiber-access-alphabet-layoffs-wireless-internet
Yes, even #iOS can be hacked. But also glad that #Apple patched it quickly. http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/25/technology/apple-iphone-hack/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom
