I assume this article has been updated since 2020? The "publication date" (rolls eyes) is March 24, 2020, and yet it references the patent re-application in 2024. Does someone have a DeLorean in the basement? God, is this what the Internet has co…

Old thread and haven't read the whole thing. But this might also increase eWaste. Unless Apple will "recycle" a computer that has AL but is otherwise salable by just removing it and then reselling it through some "approved used old-machine sales c…

Re: Chinese input (paragraph break simulated by space.. Why does AppleInsider think paragraphs are verboten? They make things easier to read - that's why paragraphs were invented.) Add Apple Pencil support to …

Wow - another TouchBar.. Follow me as well follow the bounding ball here, Apple: 1) Add it as a "up-sale gimmick" to the "high-end" models 2) Developers can't be sure that it will be there for *all* their potential users 3) Developers don't us…

(Disclaimer: Haven't waded through the comments yet) I generally like the idea of standards - but in this case it does seem Apple has a point with the number of Lightning accessories out there that a forced USB-C switch would make obsolete. But why…

@hentaiboy > Is Uniloc ever successful with these lawsuits? Even if Uniloc doesn't make out like a bandit - the lawyers still do. The "class action lawsuit racket" that Wall Street Journal often editorializes on. @macdigger > Can Apple …

I know, this is old.. What features did TW have that BBEdit doesn't in it's free mode? Not being argumentative, I used TW, but never to it's potential, so I don't who what all it offered. > TW had more mindshare than BBEdit does. Perhaps…

Could the failure rate be because people "mash" the keys harder since the travel time/length/force is less? But I doubt Apple could figure that out unless they had some kind of accelerometer on each key (didn't one of the patent diagrams detail som…

Crickey, I thought hattig was joking with Whiskey Lake, you know, we’d be needing some whiskey later this year with another Intel 14nm .. I thought it was a joke too - who comes up with Intel's code-names? Apple may have to make a 1” t…

Based on xenochron's post, it appears that any tablet with a screen size greater than 10.1 will need to get a licence to use Office 365 fully. I wonder if Microsoft will change that limit now..

Why not just make the bottom 2 or 3 feet of the walls frosted glass, designed in some way so that the "frosting" effect just "fades into nothing" as it goes up the wall? Sure, they might have to figure out some new glass-manufacturing technique, bu…

> seems worried about feature match with it's competitors than keeping it Zen and elegant. Definitely agree - and Jobs was all about Zen.. The product line also seems to be getting overly complicated - at least at some times they've seemed more…

Full disk encryption for the internal drive is selected by default for newer systems [..] secure enclave stores fingerprint data, which would be usable as an intermediate key just like login passwords. What happens if this is done, and someone bust…

schlack said: Ugh that camera nub. Won't it get scratched up when only using the smart cover? So unApple like. It occurs to me that it might have the unintended (maybe) utility - sort of - to help you orient the damn thing right-side up! Wi…
