    Apple dials a ride to lower-cost Macs with A-series chips – Computerworld

    The stylus sticks to the back of the Pixel Tablet as well as its case in a deliberate-seeming position. JR Raphael, Foundry Android’s still under-development desktop mode works nicely with the Pen to create a more computer-like experience, meanwhile — especially if you also hook up a keyboard accessory of some sort.

    The alternative is to make smartphones that use components harvested from recycled devices, though doing so immediately means the devices might be dated, not as powerful, and potentially exposed to component-based security risks. Magical people Scientists, engineers, researchers, electronics experts, metallurgists, all of these skills are essential to the smartphone value chain.
