I think Apple took a long hard look at AI and realised that it is not possible to make a self driving car – one that is safe enough to operate in a real world environment – in the foreseeable future. It may never be. If you thought that AntennaGate,…

Ah! So that would mean that if criminals were to use unbreakable encryption, they'd be breaking the law, right? Oh, wait …

It may sound strange to non-Europeans but yes, this does seem to violate the GDPR. People may be forced to go to an Apple Store, say for dropping off a device for repairs, for instruction or whatever. Those are not cases where one could say "Just do…

I wholeheartedly subscribe to the principle of 'voluntary […] lawful access solutions'. I hereby call on all criminals and terrorists to refrain from using encryption so that all of us law-abiding citizens may keep our digital lives safe. There. …

I'm not so much interested in the rationale of switchers. They opt for the neighbour's greener grass. I'd be more interested in switching penitents: those who switched from Android to iOS and back, or the other way around. How many do repent and wha…

Funny they should ask this of Facebook. You know, the company whose cavalier attitude towards privacy allowed interfering in elections. Sounds to me suspiciously like they target Facebook because they can give Facebook a really hard time (i.e., it's…

When a tiny fraction of users have problems with kernel panics and most of them seem to relate to external hardware, I suspect a device driver problem more than anything else. Could be that correct behaviour of some device drivers trigger a problem …

Another big shout out for BBEdit. I've been using it since version 3.0 (1994, got an anniversary coming up next year :-) ) I can honestly say that BBEdit is the only application I open at least once every single day I use my Mac.

"After thoroughly wetting our thumb and extensive sucking thereon, we conclude that Apple will sell 3% less iPhone 7s this year."

When Apple is compelled to allow third parties to bypass the App Store (i.e. when consumers win any suits they bring) they will have to implement a way to allow third parties to install apps. If they sandbox those apps more than they sandbox App Sto…
