The tech world experienced more insanity last week. We finally got confirmation from AMD that the CTS Labs security report was a tempest in a teapot, but the big question remained unanswered. A self-driving Uber vehicle killed a pedestrian, but we didn’t ask the right questions. Facebook admitted that it gave our information to a bad actor, and we forgot what really would wake up Zuckerberg. Google, even when it tries to do something good, does something bad. Why does it suddenly seem like so many powerful tech firms are run by idiots?
I totally understand the premise of the book review except for the line "you don't pay them money." But yet we pay Amazon and Uber, do we not?
Otherwise, a column that exceeds Mr Enderle's usual lofty standards. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and good catch. The book heavily focuses on these free services and I should have excepted Amazon and Uber (though Uber does treat drivers as a resource and mistreats them). Thank you for your comment and support!
Chaos Threatens Tech Takeover
