Thinking through MacBook futures, wherein Face ID comes to the fore, I'm wondering if it impossible without the neural net hardware of the A11. Can this equivalency be bolted on to the Intel (or AMD in future?) CPUs in MacBooks easily via a 'T2' r…

Apple TV is not (yet) at Amazon -- didn't they resolve their beef?

Question about "unobstructed" video resolution -- does 16 x 9 aspect ratio material play at 1920 x 1080 (say with a thin progress bar), or 2000 x 1125 (with an overlapping one), or something other than that? It's nice to see that 1080p (or quarter-…

Great backgrounder mentioning PARC, and, the notion of "Apple Park currency" is novel. It's good to get this out ahead of something that goes back years in the business press, mention of the "edifice complex". In days of yore, whenever some new co…

The 4K specs "revealed" here are not exactly secret. 2160p for those color spaces is bog-standard for HEVC/H.265 chatted up months ago at WWDC. If my $279 4K TV (Samsung/Costco/last year's model) displays that (in HDR even), why wouldn't the next…

Also, software patents that implement abstract ideas are generally frowned upon by the Alice ruling (http://www.ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Alice-Corp-v-CLS-Bank.pdf). Further, the parallel administrative law system of issuing (and re…

Mac futures question -- can Apple run with AMD instead of Intel for CPUs? (I don't mean GPUs, as Apple already does that.) In other words, when Apple went to the x86 architecture, was it via an *exclusive* agreement with Intel for N years, like…

Shades of the Apple iPod Hi-Fi, supposedly with a state-of-the-art Class D amp, still going strong in my kitchen after all these years, ignoring the dock and the boom box batteries. Sounds bigly!

If this was supposed to hurt Netflix the company, represented by NFLX the stock, it's backfired -- the stock is at an all-time high. Looks like free publicity for episodes out in a few weeks anyway. They are not pay-per-view, and under the non-c…

Noting that Apple possesses Australian patents, e.g. 2017201548 from: http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/ols/auspat/quickSearch.do?queryString=apple&resultsPerPage= perhaps the banking industry would want to license such things. And what if A…

What's wrong with Tesla Powerpacks for energy storage/shifting vs. the Bloom fuel cell tech, or was the design decision for this too early?

I always liked control-option-command-8 to invert colors, useful for rapid-fire blinking of imagery projected onto buildings.
