  • "Apple's Tim Cook Barnstorms for 'Moral Responsibility': 'The reality is that government, for a long period of time, has for whatever set of reasons become less functional and isn't working at the speed that it once was. And so it does fall, I think, not just on business but on all other areas of society to step up.' That was Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, across the table from me over breakfast here in downtown Austin late last week at the end of a mini-tour across the country during which he focused on topics usually reserved for politicians: manufacturing, jobs and education."  New York Times [Free/Paid Registration Required] 8:13 PM

Samsung tends to try and get their 'newest' smartphone to the market slightly ahead of Apple which is why Samsung recently held a major event in NYC to launch their new Samsung Note 8 with new cameras and new features that make it their best Note smartphone to date." Tech.pinions 10:13 AM
