  • Apple turns off data protection in the UK rather than comply with backdoor mandate

    If you're "disappointed in Apple here" you clearly don't understand the subject. Go re-read

    the other alternative would be to make a backdoor to all iPhone end to end encryption in the world and tell no one about it. That's what you'd rather them do? No, you just didn't read carefully.

    I seriously mean it 

    Apple should have just had the balls to say no. Need some brinkmanship. 

    Ball would then be in the UK government court to see what they would actually do.

    What could they do? Fine? Don’t pay. Ban Apple ? Would never happen. 

    Ok then- you want them to be jailed for contempt of a direct legal order... that's one hell of a sacrifice you're willing to make for someone else. 

    And where is your true outrage at meta/whatsapp and all other messaging platforms that have just gone along with the order, allow the UK to snoop on its people globally, and have said nothing? Or you think Apple should just join them and give the UK a global back door to E2EE?

  • Apple Pencil Pro and new iPads are a warning shot at Wacom

    iobserveiobserve
    Great article. 

    several unaddressed very important questions:
    what about lag time between pencil input and display? Every Wacom I've used has a lag and iPad doesn't. Huge deal. Have they dramatically improved this? I haven't checked the newest models. 

    you don't mention screen quality at all. Which has a better screen? The various Wacoms vs the air and the pro. (Obviously the new pro is the best display)

    additionally: why price compare a 2TB iPad Pro with nanotexture with the Wacom tablet at 512 gb without nanotexture? Is the $2,500 Wacom tablets screen better than the iPad Air? Or comparable to the new pro? I'd wager it's more comparable to the air. So what is the price comparison to Wacom's (very heavy) all-in-one vs an iPad Air with pencil pro? 
    Even the 13" pro at 512gb with pencil is $1600, $900 cheaper (though with a smaller screen) an amazingly more capable processor and operating system to boot with dramatically better portability. 

    It seems the other Wacom tablets are mostly more expensive due to requiring an additional computer plus computer software. And the Wacom all-in-one is MUCH more expensive and less computationally capable than a 512gb iPad Air... with the ipad having no lag time between input and display. 

    All genuine questions, I may be off base. 

    Definitely different strokes for different folks.

  • Xiaomi takes offense at smartphone estimates off by 2.5M units, Apple doesn't

    I know sometimes it seems that way, Lkrupp. Ponder for a moment though, CNN market share.
    Considering the high market share of Fox fake News, it would seem you disprove your own point.
