I’m not sure if this is right approach. In fact in the 70’s, the US basically went through this back and forth, largely influenced by one book: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Antitrust_Paradox Essentially, the boo

I'm super curious as well.. 3DR is the original platinum member, Intel and Qualcomm are newer. It seems like all three were collaborating on pivoting towards proprietary drone tech which obviously doesn't sit well with ArduPilot&#

I think the point Apple is trying to make is a little different than how this article described it. I don't think anybody would disagree that the tablet form shown in the 1994 video is the natural form a functional tablet would take on: t
