애플 이 진짜 악덕 기업이라는 폭로 글이 올라옴
글 내용을 보면 애플이 단가를 낮추려고 공급사 경쟁을 붙임
이 과정에서 삼성과 LG의 기술을 중국에 유출시켰다는 의혹임
하청을 바꾸려고 국내 기술을 중국에 넘겼다는 지적임
과거 마이크론이 적자로 힘들 때도 갑질로 단가 후림
어닝 서프라이즈로 살아나려 하니 다음 날 바로 가격을 대폭 올림
반도체 값 상승폭보다 훨씬 비싸게 올려 잔칫상에 재를 뿌림
반도체 시장에 삼전, 하닉, 마이크론만 살아남은 이유도 나옴
애플 같은 빅테크의 갑질과 노쇼로 경쟁사들을 다 망하게 만듦
심지어 에어팟 원가는 5만 원인데 폭리를 취한다는 내용임
이 내용들이 전부 사실이라면 애플은 진짜 악덕 기업이 맞음
하청업체 피를 말려서 자신들의 이익을 극대화하는 구조
하지만 이런 논란에도 애플의 고객 충성도는 쉽게 깨지지 않음
당장 이 글을 쓰는 나조차도 아이폰과 애플 제품을 쓰고 있음
One of the strangest discoveries I ever made is that our forward-facing eyes are probably a relic of an ancient form of X-ray vision.
Not literally X-rays, of course.
But something almost as weird.
We’re taught that animals have forward-facing eyes because they’re predators.
Sounds plausible. Except almost all birds are predators. Most fish are predators. Countless hunters throughout nature have eyes on the sides of their heads.
And the mammals with the most forward-facing eyes aren’t lions or wolves.
They’re primates.
So I started wondering whether we’d been asking the wrong question.
Imagine you’re moving through a dense forest. Leaves and branches are constantly blocking your view. With side-facing eyes, if a leaf blocks something, it’s usually blocked for both eyes.
But with eyes closer together and aimed forward, each eye gets a slightly different view. A leaf that blocks an object in one eye may not block it in the other.
Your brain can combine those views and partially “see through” the clutter.
A kind of natural X-ray vision.
The really surprising prediction was that this benefit should grow the larger an animal becomes. As your eyes get farther apart relative to the diameter of leaves and twigs, the two eyes see increasingly different paths through the vegetation.
More opportunities to see around obstacles.
And that’s exactly the pattern I found.
Out in open habitats, animals tend to have side-facing eyes.
Inside forests, eyes become more forward-facing. And among forest dwellers, the larger species tend to have the most forward-facing eyes of all.
Not because they’re predators.
Because they’re trying to see through a visual jungle.
Ironically, if many of us were redesigned for modern life, we’d probably be better off with somewhat more side-facing eyes. We no longer spend our days navigating dense forests. Wider visual coverage would often be more useful.
But our eyes still carry the signature of the world that built us.
They aren’t primarily hunting eyes.
They’re forest eyes.
