    Complete OT post, but it's a Sunday

    1) On the topic of the Apple logo, yes, ? < that one, it apparently has ™ protection, but I don't think it's being enforced when used on the Internet (otherwise, why would they map it to Shift-Option-k?):

    [quote]# The following (1) is for the Mac OS Roman encoding
    # (also used in Symbol & Croatian).
    # NOTE: The graphic image associated with the Apple logo character is

    # use might constitute trademark infringement.
    0xF8FF # Apple logo # Roman-0xF0, Symbol-0xF0, Croatian-0xD8
    [/quote]

    2) You can enter the Apple logo on iOS as well by pasting the character in a Note on the Mac. Copy and paste the character into the shortcuts/phrases field. When I type aapl on my iPhone I get ?.

    3) While searching I came across the "NCMUG Video SIG: A Tribute to Steve" which made me pink away a tear, so don't watch if you're a softy:


    I'm still looking for the Apple logo which isn't filled in. Like we used to have on our keyboards...

    I remember being disappointed they were keeping the i around for iPhone, so no; this is a welcome move.  Can't say I'm a fan of the ALL CAPS though.

    For the iPhone the Internet prefix (i) made sense as it's marketed as a useful internet device. The watch however to a lesser extend, so I'm glad it isn't called iWatch. So yeah, I agree.

    I don't like cOCK sLAP either. Strange that they don't use all caps on their PR page:

    I still call command Open Apple all the time. I’ve gotten over Closed Apple for Option, though.

    1) I would definitely argue that Apple adding it to their keyboard layout and making it a Unicode character means that we are allowed to use it as text anywhere and anytime we choose.

    2) Great idea with the iPhone shortcut. I was thinking I'd have to install TextExpander or something for iPhone in order to make that work.


    edit: I will use a different shortcut phrase than you since I use AAPL to refer to the stock symbol often. I just made it 'aaa' since all my TextExpander shortcuts are all based on repeating the same three letters in a row. Most of my TextExpander shortcuts are for this forum so I can respond faster with a nicer formatting. For example, 'xxx' will make this multiplication symbol '×', 'vvv' will make this YouTube video format with the timestamp parameter ({VIDEO]{/VIDEO]) that we figured out works properly with Huddler, and a quick way to split a comment when replying ({/QUOTE ] return, return, return {QUOTE]), note that the quote is opposite of Huddler's quote setup but starting with the close quote and ending with the open quote.

    @shotgun you're mixing things. cpu is 50x times faster than in the first iphone, gpu 83x faster.
    (I always wonder how they benchmark that.. :) )

    For anyone that wants to make life a bit easier for themselves on iOS when typing the ? logo, goto the following site in iOS Safari and add it to your home screen:

    [URL=http://mrgan.com/gb]http://mrgan.com/gb[/URL]

    That will give you what you need.

    Why would they when it's already a Unicode character? You mean add the Unicode character to the Emoji keyboard even though it's not Emoji?

    Interesting how history repeats itself, ala NEXTSTEP!  :smokey:  Of course that capitalization changed a number times over the years too...

    I can't find it in iOS - how do you type it? Option shift k on a Mac, I know. The Emoji keyboard offers a lot more than just emoji.

    Following [@]Philboogie[/@]'s lead I created a Shortcut in Settings » General » Keyboards so I have it appear as needed.

    That's a nifty workaround! I notice that he uses aapl as a shortcut, but I might try aa - other than aardvark, there can't be too many words containing aa! Apple ought to add it to the emoji keyboard in iOS 8, anyway.

    Love that workaround! Just used the character out of Glyhboard and put it in as a shortcut, and works like a charm! Gonna be using the ? much more now 8-)

    You just gave me an idea. Use a Emoji character that you would otherwise never use to call the Apple symbol from the shortcut. Emoji offers both a red and green Apple. This would also place it in your commonly used Emoji screen for quick access.

    Nice idea, but I think you've just found out that you can't do it with the built-in emoji.

    History doesn't help here either

    1: good point

    2: handy tool. And clever implementation of quoting here from an iPhone!

    H.265 is a new video format. H.265 only take small memory.

    For example, one 22GB Blu-ray movie to convert to H.265, the memory will change to appox. 5GB. So a DVD/BD Converter is need to use, TDMore DVD Converter, TDMore Blu-ray Converter.;)

    According to our testing, H.265 video will reduce the output video size by up to 50%, and the video quality can be even higher.
