This is all correct -- Apple is a key licensor/licencee of HEVC as administered by MPEGLA, just as they were for H.264. But the articles I cite mention certain patent holdouts (like Dolby and GE) who are claiming all implementations of H.265 read …

As far as H.265/HEVC codec rollout goes, don't forget that the whole industry is delayed by a stinkbomb thrown by a second patent pool, per: http://blog.streamingmedia.com/2015/07/new-patent-pool-wants-share-of-revenue-from-content-owners.html a…

As always, keep in mind the LiquidMetal connection, with Zadesky named on the Force Touch patent, as the co-signer on the LQMT contract, and now with the Apple car group: http://www.techinsighter.com/blog/2014/1/26/smart-metal-next-level-of-tactile…

Are these noise-cancelling? If not, why not?

Is there any extra protection against the Elcom backup downloader if 2-step auth is *not* yet set up? For example, with at least with one person I know, I can reset their Apple ID password, knowing only the Apple ID, birthdate and one security que…

Counsel: "You mean to tell me that Apple's stoplist did not preclude my client from choosing 'Princess1' as a password?" Defense: "Your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury. That is correct, but 'Princess1' is only #2 on the "ibrute" list, so …

Was it ever determined that the purchase was done with unrepatriated foreign cash, since both Beats and Apple Inc. have Irish subsidiaries, possibly saving taxes, per: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/05/23/apple-could-save-over-1b-on-alleged-be…

Agree about the strong upgrade cycle. As a datapoint, in my AT&T family plan, months ago, I had carefully planned to upgrade everyone to a 5S because the 2-year contract dates were clustered too closely, but because the carrier pushed out all …

It's educational that DED brought up the 1992 copyright case, Apple v. Microsoft. This was the infamous "look and feel" trial whereby Apple failed to clinch that their design prowess would rule. As a courtroom spectator then, I saw (now retired) j…

Another analogy: Even though Einstein was verified correct for developing (even inventing) seminal contributions to special relativity, the photoelectric effect, general relativity, and quantum mechanics, he should be considered a "failure" for not…

Has China Mobile also denied the Xinhua News Agency report?

"It's 35 years old and has no relevancy anymore." Surely you jest. Although the Unix copyrights associated with the hundreds of millions of iOS devices are technically maxed out at 30 years old (Settings->General->About->Legal Noti…
