  • Tim Cook: 2020 was 'Apple's top year of innovation ever'

    Well, as demonstrated by the two posts above, it’s all subjective and depends on one’s ideology and world view. Jobs worshipers will always hate Cook I suppose.
    Thinking that incremental improvements isn't the same thing as innovation doesn't mean people hate Tim Cook. Apple has done such an absurd amount of world changing innovation over the years, many in a one shot product release like Macintosh and iPhone. 2020 doesn't have anything like that. Yes, there were a ton of incremental advances with M1 being the most impressive. But Apple's most innovative years have transformed the way people live.

  • Apple Vision Pro screen refresh rate is up to 100Hz, it has Bluetooth 5.3, and more techni...

    Is the Vision Pro App Store on the web anywhere? Or do we have to actually have a Vision Pro to browse the Apps.

  • Don't use a smartwatch or smart ring for blood glucose monitoring just yet

    To be fair, up to this point all the health related sensors are relevant to everyone, pulse, heart, O2 level etc.

    An accurate, non-invasive glucose monitor would be an absolute godsend for those that need to keep a close eye on their sugar levels, but it isn't something that everyone needs. It would likely had a big impact on sales, with people buying it for that functionality alone, however for the rest of the population, it wouldn't be needed but might be "nice" to be able to see.. So I guess there is a reasonable argument to be made that if it's sensors require sacrificing something else, or require the watch to be bigger, or shorten battery life, that there would be two lines of apple watches, ones with and ones without the glucose monitoring.
    with a sensor like this, a lot of people will use the readings to modify their lifestyle and avoid type 2 diabetes as a result. Half of older adults have either diabetes or pre diabetes.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook calls US tax code outdated and 'awful for America'

    ^ where is the edit button.  I also wanted to add that I haven't seen one way or the other but would assume that Sanders wants to make employers match his newly uncapped payroll tax.  Between this and his $15 minimum wage, Sanders would destroy the economy.  This is coming from someone who has always voted democrat.
