Amazon wants to do more business with Pentagon

Amazon's boss says that military contracts and Big Tech need to figure things out for the sake of the country. Meanwhile, Apple's long-time-coming Mac Pro hits preorder and OnePlus might return to very cheap smartphones, in a way.

Axar.az reports citing Engadget don't expect Amazon to follow companies like Google is changing its mind on military contracts. And that's coming from the boss. Jeff Bezos told guests at the Reagan National Defense Forum over the weekend that the US is in big trouble if large tech companies are "turning their back" on the Defense Department. He further argued that Americans were "the good guys," and that it was imperative that the US maintained advantages over rivals in areas like spaceflight, where China appeared to be catching up.

The tech pioneer isn't uniformly supportive of the government, and Amazon has accused the Defense Department of handing the JEDI contract to Microsoft due to President Trump's avowed anti-Amazon bias.

It might not be quite as bad as it sounds. The only features you'll never have access to in the basic tier are satellite maps and live traffic visualizations. Media streaming, web browsing, and Caraoke are still available -- you'll just need to be connected to WiFi to use them.
