  • I waited 8 years for fiber where I live, and I even went door to door telling my whole neighborhood that there was a cheaper, faster alternative to Comcast, and all we had to do was sign up. When it was finally getting it installed, the technician told me that our neighborhood only got fiber because a local criminal organization had bought a couple cherry pickers and was stripping the copper from pole to pole.

    Apparently it takes someone stealing the copper repeatedly before the telcos will invest a dime on upgrades.











  • Trump’s answer, however, may simply be demanding that Apple brings production home.

    At present only a small number of high-end Mac computers are made in America. The president would see it as a vindication of his policies if the stamp on the back of the iPhone said: “Designed by Apple in California, made in America.”

    Zetter says there is no chance of that. “There is no single location in the Americas that can amass a workforce of 800,000-plus like Foxconn can in China,” he says. “Apple currently has extremely limiting options beyond exemptions and negotiations.”

    This is gonna be like watching a slow motion car crash.
