Apple has been doomed for decades, if the steady stream of headlines about the company, its stock price, and its product lineup are to be believed. If The Macalope has taught us anything, it’s that the Apple deathwatch business is a brisk (and bizarre) one. The truth is much more complex. But by any measure, 2016 was a particularly tough year for Apple. The company endured a bitter legal fight with the FBI, saw its first revenue decline in more than a decade, and faced backlash over hardware tweaks in its upgraded flagship products: the iPhone 7’s lack of a…

A new Nokia phone has passed China Compulsory Certification (3C). Listed as TA-1000 from HMD Global, the device comes with standard 5V/2A charging support, but that’s about all the info we get here. While 3C doesn’t reveal any of the handset’s key specifications, it is likely not a flagship smartphone given the lack of fast charging support. So, it’s possible that we’re looking at the Nokia E1 here. The device is rumored to be powered by an entry-level Snapdragon chipset and sport a 5.5-inch display.

That is the longest stretch since 1970, when the labor market was much smaller. The labor market is…

The idea is to tax goods as they come into the country from overseas, but to avoid taxing U.S. exports at all. For instance, a car imported into the U.S. from Mexico would be taxed, but the American-made steel…
