Listen now | In this episode, growing concerns about artificial intelligence continue with a few 2021 trends to keep your mind on your money while money is on your mind. Then, a crazy case about an Apple security chief bribe for concealed weapons and 200 iPads, and even more olive oil from the branch as Apple makes more concessions on App Store fees. In a new regulatory grab and shake move, British telecoms could face revenue fines with a new law that puts the onus of full-fiber and 5G security on telco’s by meeting certain standards (Yes, Huawei made me do it!) and European Union could be self-sufficient on electric vehicle batteries by 2025. Biden’s attack on Big Oil seems to be a moot point and of course, Elon Musk just overtook Bill Gates as the world’s second-richest person. Hmm, like that idea so why don’t you click on some of my past promotions as those affiliate links put coffee and cookies on the table when I make these podcasts. :D

Facebook probe is in the final stages but a bipartisan group readying one or several major antitrust complaints while Apple fights back against other tech giants with criticisms of their own even as it delays its own privacy features. GM, the laughing stock of EV documentaries is going in HEAVY on EV investments. This shift by manufacturers means that the politics behind Biden’s remarks against Big Oil are nullified as auto-makers are de-coupling from its oil marriage. This and a major NASDAQ acquisition that has a large rock in Canada blushing with pride on Tech.Delivered for November 20, 2020.
