Ha!
I have to admit, I like Apple products.
I can’t afford enough of them, frankly, but I like them.
You know there’s a big fuss about the upcoming, and expensive, iMacPro?
Yeah, wouldn’t mind one of them.
My point?
Is that I tend to follow news about the company.
Oh, and presidential Tweets.
According to Donald Trump?
Apple are going to build three big plants in the US.
Which are going to be huge. Bigly. What-have-you.
Apple’s response was entirely appropriate, very in character and easily predicted by anyone whose watched the company for more than ten minutes.
They — altogether, now — declined to comment.
What gets me? Is the look on the face of Apple boss, Time Cook, in that picture.
‘Declined to comment’ is exactly the phrase.

In other news?
In other news, it seems the Premier League has won a court order: that means it can get Internet Services Providers — the people you buy your internet connection from — to block illegal streams of its matches.
The kind of stream that — on what’s called a fully loaded Kodi box — lets you watch a football match for free. Ones that, normally, you have to pay for.
I’m concerned that — if handled incorrectly — this will have a bad effect on the open source software movement.
I also think that it won’t be long before anyone providing ways of illegally streaming paid-for content … will soon find other ways of doing it.
Give it a while …
