  • Google's Pixel 4 phone implementing system similar to Apple's Face ID

    Yes you have to believe that Google wants to take this technology to Minority Report level of scanning your face and advertising directly to you at the gas pump, dressing room, bathroom, in the car, etc. Sad day if we are all wearing masks to hide our identities.

    Why does the clock speed go down as the number of cores goes up?
    More cores run hotter? That’s my guess. 

    Probably true. I recall from my computer science courses that the reason we haven't seen anything above 4.0 Ghz was that the heat created was growing so exponentially fast that within a few years the heat would outpace that of the sun. 
    I thought that the higher clock speed was hampered by electrons want to jump the gap.

    Sadly, he understands Brexit all too well!

    I wouldn't say he does, as he's looking at it like it's something bad. It's stupid to expect immediate results from it, let's wait a couple of years, because the opposition will do everything to make it look evil in public..

    That article right here reflects the opinion of the writer and he has the right to think so. He thinks Apple's always right, no matter what they do because his main argument is "apple gets the biggest profits". Yeah, but do they really offer the best value for costumers? Depends on the experience of one, I certainly don't think so. I sold my HTC ONE M8 in 2014 to buy a big iPhone, am I satisfied with it? Kinda, but it actually does nothing better than the S6 last year. Will I buy the iPhone 7? Hell no. I'm waiting for my contract to end and I'm buying the Note 7. Why? Just look at how much Android has advanced. Apple likes to brag about their camera, design, software, speed, innovation. Those 'facts' are old now and they are not valid anymore. Apple is popular because it has that biten apple logo on the back, shallow as it sounds. But if you are looking for real quality than you have other options as well. 
    I guess it depends on what you call value. I like to get the latest iOS software automatically and not hope that my phone is on a list for upgrade as with Android. I like the fact that Apple doesn't just try a bunch of different unproven technologies just to see what sticks.

  • New Apple tool lets iPhone 6s owners check for free battery swap eligibility

    I am totally surprised my iPhone 6 still has decent battery life since I often leave it running Dishanywhere overnight 

  • Apple correcting Siri "abortion" search issue uncovered in 2011

    metrixmetrix
    Religion aside many women who have had an abortion feel horrible regret and others feel no regret. Neither is right or wrong since thats how they feel but like any business that wants to make money they don't go out of their way to reveal the downsides someone's choice. Question, Is legal law just a collective religion? Where we are the collective god that determines what is right and what is wrong. 

  • Watch: Apple's 2016 MacBook vs. 2015 MacBook in speed test comparison

    metrixmetrix
    As much as we hate to admit it, these MacBooks are more about style than function but that is the market that they are shooting for. They are suited for high school , college students, professionals that aren't looking for performance but quick access to e-mail and internet access and an occasional spreadsheet. There are many more of these customers than high powered users. It's absolutely crazy to complain about the higher price of a Macbook compared to a Windows laptop when you are facing $20,000/yr for college tuition, room and board.

  • Apple will ask Congress for a 'thoughtful and honest consideration of the facts' in testimony on en

    I think no one has a problem with the FBI seeking information with a warrant. I think if Apple creates a "key" then it should absolutely be compartmentalized (sp?) so that no single person can create the key but several people are needed to come up with the key. The FBI, CIA, NSA should NEVER have that key if no other reason than with so much power they have there has to be corruption. The same can be said for Apple too, they have a lot of power hopefully too do good. If the FBI really is really only seeking information on terrorist phones then getting the information should be enough but if the real reason is to have access to everyone's iPhone than they will come out with some new reason that "we need the keys!".
