Apple’s market figures have always been that little bit harder to predict and accurately source. A lot of this has to do with Cupertino’s typical discreteness when it comes to revealing sales figures. It also doesn’t help that so many analysts and third parties take interest in the matter and publish their own reports. However, a typically accurate way to approach things is to examine Apple’s vast supplier chain that is often a lot more willing to share information. In the latest such development, Dialog Semiconductor has reported notable positive earnings. RBC Capital Markets analyst Amit Daryanani dug into this…

Stephen Lam | Reuters John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The Federal Reserve can raise interest rates without threatening the U.S. economic recovery, a top Federal Reserve policymaker said on Tuesday, saying the central bank risks doing more harm by continued inaction. “It is getting harder and harder to justify interest rates being so incredibly low given where the U.S. economy is and where it is going,” San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams said in an interview at his bank’s headquarters. “I would support an interest rate increase,” he said. “I think that…
For America’s wealthiest families, the presidential campaign presents a stark choice: A big tax increase if Hillary Clinton wins the election — or a big tax cut if Donald Trump wins. For everyone else? Right now, neither candidate is proposing major tax changes. Tax policy is one of the issues on which the two nominees differ most. Their approaches are likely to draw new attention in the wake of a New York Times report that Trump’s nearly $916 million in losses in 1995, according to tax records the paper received anonymously, means he may not have paid federal income taxes…
U.S. construction spending fell in August for the second straight month to its lowest level in eight months, an unexpected drop driven by weakness across public and private sectors. The successive declines suggest home building might not help economic growth in the third quarter. The Commerce Department said on Monday construction spending dropped 0.7 percent in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.142 trillion, the lowest since December 2015. Economists had expected outlays to rise 0.2 percent. The government also revised downward its estimate for July, saying spending declined 0.3 percent rather than the initial estimate that outlays…

It’s impossible to discuss Google Home in a vacuum. It’s a direct, blatant, so-obvious-it-hurts competitor to the Amazon Echo—and if you spend just a few minutes with it, you may come away feeling it’s got the Echo’s number. Like the Echo, Google Home can start playing music with simple voice prompts. But itsounds better than the Echo, with much deeper bass. I only spent about 10 minutes with Google Home at Google’s hardware launch event on Tuesday, and I certainly didn’t have an Echo handy for A/B testing, but it took only five seconds of a Hooverphonic track to tell…
When Intel’s Kaby Lake CPU arrived at our doorstep in the form of Dell’s XPS 13 laptop, it was wrapped in foreboding. Hardware fans have long been in denial about the inevitable end of Moore’s Law. With Kaby Lake, Intel’s abandoned its relentless “tick-tock” march in favor of a slower “process-architecture-optimize” stroll. Semiconductor doomsday seemed nigh. Kaby Lake is the first CPU produced under Intel’s new plan. The plan started with a “tock”—a CPU shrink (22nm Haswell to 14nm Broadwell), then a “tick” of efficiency improvement (14nm Broadwell to 14nm Skylake). Intel wasn’t ready to produce another tock yet, though. Instead we…

We already know that Samsung is working on 2017 editions of its Galaxy J series smartphones – the Galaxy J3 (2017) was spotted on TENAA earlier this year. Now, a new Samsung smartphone carrying a model number of SM-J727V has appeared on Zauba, and it’s alleged to be the Galaxy J7 (2017). Sadly, the listing doesn’t reveal anything else, except an INR 13,686 ($205) price tag, but the pricing information on Zauba is not directly related to the market price. Rumors say the device will be powered by an Exynos chipset and sport a 5.5-inch display of 1920 x 1080…
