SpamSandwich said: I've found Beats headphones don't fit people with larger noggins. They seem to be engineered for kids or small adults. I wonder if that's why so many professional athletes wear them.

dewme said: I agree with Tim Cook's sentiment that learning coding is more important than learning a foreign language, but only if you do not have to collaborate across a team composed of members from countries with different written & sp…

linkman said: The flaw is that we can't be certain that Microsoft/Skype/Signal hasn't placed a backdoor in the app where the keys for every conversation get sent to a third party because of some secret law/order. The signal protocol is desig…

indieshack said: Um - what? Signal will have been (or will be in the future) the recipient of a midnight knock at the door by someone holding a court order to provide them access to the encryption. Personally I couldn’t care less since I don’…

digitalclips said: I do wish AI and other blogs would cease placing images of the Car. Given no one knows if it even exists let alone looks like, why use stock images that will be taken as fact by half the population? That is a picture …

Almost everyone in this thread is so myopic as to border on blind. What's the #1 cause of people keeping cable? Sports. How better to convince people who are thinking of cutting the cord to do so with an Apple TV than to show Kobe Bryant using it …

sog35 said: Calling Kuo a "well-connected insider" is not helping casual readers or any readers at all. Why? Because it is totally FALSE and a flat out LIE. By definition an insider is someone WHO ACTUALLY WORKS AT APPLE or HOLDS SIGNIFICANT …

FB said: If you want the "daylight to dusk" effect, there are apps that do this better than Apple's. One of them is f.lux. The notion that Apple discovered something new, or that their misguided app will help you is laughable. f.lux is me…

mike1 said: Couple of points. 1. Having an EMV chip reader is not required for NFC to be activated. They are mutually exclusive. You can have an older terminal with NFC which works fine with my phone. 2. You can have a newer terminal with…

tjwolf said: I don't buy that. I have used ApplePay at several merchants (e.g. Harris Teeter) where the chip cards were still disabled, but where I could use NFC. So it doesn't seem that EMV is required for ApplePay to work. rob55 sa…
