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.

Interesting observation. Kind of ties in with Cognitive Surplus. https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Surplus-Technology-Consumers-Collaborators/dp/0143119583 https://x.com/sairakh/status/770315603806748673
#Facebook got rid of all 15 human editors of trending news team, did you even care that it was hand-picked before? http://qz.com/768122/facebook-fires-human-editors-moves-to-algorithm-for-trending-topics/
#Amazon and #Pandora getting into paid music streaming. They don't see it as replacing radio, except #Apple #Beats.

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/
A 200MB #iBrain in #iOS devices to positively balance #AI, #BigData, #Privacy and user experience. https://backchannel.com/an-exclusive-look-at-how-ai-and-machine-learning-work-at-apple-8dbfb131932b#.gne31nrbu
#Apple already have great video editing apps like #iMovie and #FinalCut, just need to add #iCloud and many users! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-25/apple-weighs-iphone-video-editing-app-in-renewed-push-on-social-isa5rhlu
Obvious why #Uber had to quit #China, they are trying so hard to keep the losses under 2015's record of $2B a year. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-25/uber-loses-at-least-1-2-billion-in-first-half-of-2016
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
If #AppleMusic wanted to hurt #Spotify, just need a $10.99 plan like #Amazon and include unlimited photo sync or extra #iCloud storage.
Matter of time before #AppleMusic will catch up with #Spotify paid subscriber size. #Amazon, #GooglePlay, #Groove will grow nicely too.
300-400 miles per charge is great, hopefully it can soon be single charge for a week. 0-60mph in 2.5secs? Can we upgrade drivers too? #Tesla
#Tesla unveiled new 100-kwh battery pack, pushing the range to 300-400 miles per charge and 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37171455
Easy to blame #Apple for the prices, but is it surprising a smaller company like #Spotify pays more for licenses? http://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-contract-three-major-labels-wants-pay-less/
#Fitbit vs. #Jawbone. Can #Apple just launch #AppleWatch Fitness to take their market? Similar to #iPodShuffle. http://www.businessinsider.com/itc-rules-fitbit-did-not-violate-jawbone-trade-secrets-2016-8
Well, just like my UK boarding school days then. Buy for 50p from #Chinatown and sell for £1. #Ramen #Nissin http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37162373
#JasonBourne checks #GoogleMaps on old PC, use #Android for simple web browsing, rely on #iPhone for real time alerts and enemy tracking. :)
#Apple stopped going to #MacWorld events after 2009 with <50k attendees. Now Apple Stores serve >5m customers a day. https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/12/16Apple-Announces-Its-Last-Year-at-Macworld.html
