The Dark Side Of Apple

A closer look at Apple reveals more than a few uncomfortable truths about the company we thought we knew and loved. Apple Doesn’t Want You to Fix Your Stuff It’s no secret that Apple has been in a long-term battle with repair shops. If it were up to Apple, you would only get your iPhone fixed at an Apple Store or an Apple-authorized repair shop. Unlike the car industry, where most manufacturers sell parts to third-party repair shops, the world of tech can be more of a walled garden....

The Diving Dollar

For serious people to talk this way gives you some sense of the melodrama surrounding the fall of the dollar. Before World War II, banks held gold in reserve as proof of their stability. Afterward they shifted to dollars, in recognition of America’s burgeoning status as sole superpower. Following a 9 percent plunge in the dollar against the euro this year, the emerging consensus is that the bottom is a long way off....

The Division 2 Willing To Look At World Tier 5 Gear Scores

Arguably, the biggest issue that players ran into while battling enemies in World Tier 5 was the loot that dropped. Players quickly discovered that dropped gear could sometimes fluctuate below expected levels, largely making it useless to players with a score above 450. Player frustration prompted a response from the developers during The Division 2’s weekly State of the Game podcast, where it was revealed that loot dropping in World Tier 5 was always intended to have variable and somewhat randomized gear score....

The Elder Scrolls Fans Should Keep Their Expectations In Check For E3

The Elder Scrolls 6 was first announced by Bethesda over 1,000 days ago, back during the E3 of 2018, alongside the company’s brand-new IP, Starfield. While neither the teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6 nor Starfield were very revealing, the former showed a landscape view that fans of the series associated with Hammerfell, but to this day this remains speculation due to the lack of official details. Furthermore, Starfield was confirmed to release before the next installment in The Elder Scrolls saga, and the hopes for Elder Scrolls 6 to be featured at this year’s E3 are slimmer by the day....

The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Episode 2 Review

Surprisingly, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier didn’t share a single scene in the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Last week’s series premiere, “New World Order,” set up Sam and Bucky’s post-Endgame lives separately. Traditional pilot episodes would have to pair up the title characters in order to get picked up for more episodes, but Marvel’s straight-to-series model has given showrunner Malcolm Spellman the freedom to take his time setting up Sam and Bucky’s eponymous partnership....

The Fight For Iran S Freedom

The mullahs’ strategy is simple. To retain power, they need an enemy. They thus seek to keep their country on a perpetual war footing by playing up the notion that the Bush administration is conspiring to overthrow them, destroy the Islamic republic and undermine Islam itself. Nonviolent activists, human-rights defenders and intellectuals are labeled enemy agents. And Iran’s deteriorating economic conditions are attributed to U.S. sanctions rather than to Tehran’s chronic mismanagement....

MCCAIN DEFEATS ROMNEY IN FLORIDA VOTE (Michael Cooper and Meghan Thee, New York Times) The results were a decisive turning point in the Republican race, effectively winnowing the field to Mr. McCain and Mr. Romney, two candidates with very different backgrounds who have little affection for one another but share a similar challenge in winning over elements of the party suspicious of their ideological credentials. FOR MCCAIN, MOMENTUM THAT MAY BE HARD TO STOP (Dan Balz, Washington Post) McCain’s victory in Florida was especially notable because this marked the first major contest in which only registered Republicans and not independents – long his most consistent supporters – were allowed to participate....

BARACK ON IRAQ (Michael Crowley, The New Republic) Today, Barack Obama’s campaign is largely based around a promise to “end the war” in Iraq by withdrawing troops within 16 months. But some Washington foreign policy mandarins insist this isn’t possible–that a total U.S. withdrawal isn’t achievable and Obama knows it. That Obama, like Nixon, in fact has a secret plan not to end the war… Or, at least, that Obama’s speeches overstate the feasibility of a near-term Iraq exit… The truth is Obama has no secret plan for Iraq....
