Note : Don't fall for those salesman scams that you need gigabyte service. You are just wasting money. Gigabyte is way to advance and it will be a few more years before anyone trully gets full capacity. My advise is start low and gradually increase your internet plan as your broadband needs get bigger.

Google not a Publisher
Good new for Google when it comes to defamatory article. Since it's not a publishing company the users will have to go direct to the user. So in simple terms google just navigates using a hyperlink to articles.

Apple First EV Results
In so many simple words it was better off if Apple would have purchased Tesla instead of trying to invent the wheel. As far as being innovative with the EV industry it so far as been a big failure for them.
In my opinion, it's easier to find a new EV startup company and buy the company outright instead of spending unnecessary expenses in Research and Development.
The technology is already there, it's just piecing them together and creating a vehicle that will meet cutting edge technology.
7/27/22

Not too long ago a fleet of self-driving cars gathered together and blocked an intersection in San Franciso for several hours for no apparent reason.
