  • Masimo has spent $100M in Apple Watch patent infringement fight

    It doesn’t matter if you love Apple and hate Masimo or their business practices. It will all come down to what the law says. So far Apple has lost on every step here but they have gotten to a place where they can argue their case in a Federal court. You can play outraged armchair patent lawyer or wait for the case to be heard and judged on the merits as it relates to the law. Till then it is all empty speculation. 
    Where are you getting your info from?  Apple has not
    lost every step up to now.  The actual patent trial was a mistrial (and seems to have been in Apple’s favor 6-1). 

    I’m interested is evidence that Apple is actually infringing whatever patents Massimo is claiming.  This sort of O2 Sat technology has been around forever.  The patent is not on O2 sat tech.  It is on a specific “new” refinement of the tech.  Has Massimo presented evidence showing actual infringement or are they just saying “Apple must be infringing to be able to do that” like many of these claims seem to be.

  • Microsoft China bans Android, demands staff use iPhones

    chadbagchadbag
    The unspoken concern is security in the OS and all the back doors and hacked components that likely occur in the local versions of Android employed there.  

    It’s a fight against cyber industrial espionage

  • Norway gets world's first Apple Pay alternative for iPhone

    chadbagchadbag
    Apple Pay with all sorts of credit cards and debit cards.  the consumer has choice.    The difference is that Apple controlled the low technical level.   Opening tact up really doesn’t provide more banking choice.   In fact choosing Vipps seems to reduce seems to reduce your choice.  Apple Pay works with all sorts of Visa and MasterCard and Amex and JCB and transit cards from all over the world.   I have  Visa and MasterCard from multiple  different banks and credit unions and Amex and discover as well as Suica, Pasmo, and ICOCA cards in my Apple Wallet.   I have choice.   As long as the banking institution wants to play Apple Pay would work.   

    It just allows others to profit off of Apples R&D and technical platform instead of actual banking services.

  • Logitech wants to sell you a subscription mouse some day

    chadbagchadbag
    If they do release a subscription mouse, just say NO.  It doesn’t matter how good it is.  Do not encourage subscription for any normal hw.   

    The same thing for subscription to Hw in your vehicle (for things not normally subscribed to — your network subscription is fine — subscribing to heated seats is not).

  • Apple is buying a treasure in Pixelmator, and we hope it won't get destroyed

    Hopefully it will be like Apple and Logic acquisition and not some of the others.

  • FireWire may finally be dead in macOS 26 & Apple isn't looking back

    chadbagchadbag
    I’m not saying this is the end of Apple or anything but it’s kind of too bad — one of my two “pro level” audio interfaces is FireWire and I still have an old Sony video camera with FireWire.   I probably should try and get any video of off tapes that I haven’t already transferred.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    chadbagchadbag
    Technically it looks very cool.  Apple certainly can.  The real question is if they should have.  I don’t see this as solving a problem for many people.  It’s more of a bragging right for Apple to show off their tech.  

    I have no interest (and I’m very pro-Apple and have been since 1984).
