  • Bug or conscious change? Apple Pencil for iPad Pro gets gimped by iOS 9.3 betas

    To me, this is definately not limiting. Actually, I think it will add functionality since it will allow me to easily scroll the paper that I'm drawing on. And yes, I scroll (and zoom) with the same hand that I'm holding the pencil in — quite intuitively with the two available fingers.

  • Apple could bring long-distance wireless charging to iPhone, iPad as soon as 2017

    Do you have any proof for that statement? I doubt you have evaluated any possible design of a wireless charging system. Pretty low losses over large distances have been shown with laser transmitted power, for example. And, did you even consider particle beams? Sure, it's quite likely not what Apple is going for, but that's beside the point here.

    "Any" is a pretty big word. I can clearly tell you're not an inventor cnocbui.
    Ha, ha, ha.  Lasers?  Particle beams?  Beam me up Mr Sulu.
    You are so far behind, you don't even know it cnocbui  …I mean, intelligence-wise. You need to learn how to read and follow arguments before you dive into tech discussions here at AI. You can start by reading up on 5G base stations and similar focused-beam technologies for both signal- and power transfer. Yes, in real life 2016 …not in your Star Trek archives.
  • F.lux says it is 'original innovator' of nighttime display color tech, asks Apple to open Night Shi

    Oh, come on. The effect of blue and red light on alertness has been well known for decades. What f.lux is doing is trivial, and not some rocket-science innovation to get upset about …and there's certainly no research that they've done on this topic.

    I myself have been switching the color settings on my Macs to accomodate for this for more than 10 years now (way before f.lux). A simple AppleScript that automatically switches Display Profiles by time of day. Sure, you can add some bells and whistles but the idea is exactly the same. I welcome Apple's move to add this to the system as a pure convenience factor.
