Water deal with Imperial Valley on the line
Not that fighting global warming is a bad thing by itself. But thats a global issue and there is a water crisis in CA which Brown has done essentially nothing to address— April 29, 2015 8:51 p.m.
Water deal with Imperial Valley on the line
So instead of doing something REAL to fix the water problems in CA (like building reservoirs, desalination facilities or renegotiating ancient water rights for agriculture) we have symbolic measures to limit Californians' energy use. The one water tip that makes sense, If it's Brown flush it down. Jerry is proving to be almost as incompetent as his predecessors - which is hard to do— April 29, 2015 8:14 p.m.

Literally when I told my dad that my wife had an iPad he was concerned "What's wrong with her eye? Why does she need an eye pad?"— April 28, 2015 9:06 a.m.

Or you might get sued for trademark infringement for mentioning something with lower case i before Apple does— April 27, 2015 7:11 p.m.

I don't know the protocol either but clearly the H1-B laws protecting American workers are fairly weak so I doubt there are many requirements concerning layoffs - unless the replacement of American workers with H1-B workers is as blatant as the SCE case. I suspect QCOM lays off whichever employees they feel are the least cost effective.— April 26, 2015 8:46 p.m.

Apple + Tesla = iCar ? That rumor has been mentioned in some articles/blogs. Could be true, could be wild speculation.— April 26, 2015 8:42 p.m.

I was just using the "fad" reference from the headline (regardless of whether or not "fad" is an accurate title or who wrote the headline!)— April 25, 2015 12:12 p.m.

I don't think the smartphone fad is going anywhere soon but maybe existing models have already gotten powerful enough for many users. But the trend has certainly been that with more data bandwidth someone will find a use for it. Emerging chip markets would seem to be in medical field (e.g. wearable medical sensors), automotive (smart cars, smart roads, infotainment, collision avoidance) and internet of things.— April 24, 2015 9:09 p.m.

Supposedly QCOM's had some problems with recent chips delivered for Samsung phones. Samsung is fully integrated now - they make phones AND design chips AND even have the semiconductor foundaries to fabricate chips (QCOM is a "fabless" semiconductor chip and must rely on TSMC - or perhaps Samsung - to make their cutting edge chips). In the high-end application processor space QCOM faces tough competition from Mediatek, as well as from Apple and Samsung who also make their own AP's. There have been ongoing legal battles over QCOM's licensing practices.— April 24, 2015 9:05 p.m.
