  • $179 Apple TV 4K boasts high dynamic range support, free 4K upgrades to iTunes movie purch...

    The 32GB or 64GB are sad, but I don't care since I'll use a NAS connected and use the 55" LG 4K HDR ready tv and not bother with the streaming until CLink meets its goals. Of course, I'd buy FIOS but Verizon isn't available.
    If you don't have a current Apple TV, you may not realize this but movies are not stored on the device at all. They are streamed. This means it's just the apps that are taking up the space. I got the Gen4 with 64GB, and even with several kids games on it, we aren't close to being full. All the usual things that take up space on a phone or tablet (movies, photos, email) aren't stored.

  • Zillow to offer easy 3D house tour creation, viewing with new iPhone app

    This brings back memories. The first paying web job I had 20+ yrs ago was creating a QuickTime VR tour of my university. The panoramas were taken with a 640x480 QuickTake 150 on a special tripod head. The photos were then stitched together in a very long process with a piece of software I can’t even find reference to anymore. You then created zones (like the arrows in this tool) to zoom to the next pano. Now someone with their phone and no tech knowledge can do the same thing with better results!

  • FDA approves Apple Watch app NightWare to treat PTSD nightmares

    Interesting. Glad to see that it's only part of a regimen to help folks. Can't fall into the trap that technology on its own is the panacea to cure ills. I would be interested to know how the App Store handles the "prescription only" aspect of this. Can anyone download, but only people who have provided prescription info to the company directly hav access to open it?
