EVERY airline must have a huge relationship with Microsoft in the data center, but Delta seems unique among the big ones, anyway, in trying to roll out Microsoft devices to the flight crews. The initial device selection for the cockpit, IIRC, was a …

kbrum said: I feel you all are really ignorant. I like the lens bump. I just added some new lenses to my collection today and have reviewed the info pretty closely. I also read the patent. First, today's iPhone cameras have very wide-…

“While the current A9 SoC is an extremely capable processor, it might not be enough to support the dual rear-facing cameras…” Stitching together multiple images indeed can take a fair amount of CPU/GPU. But it needn't happen instantaneously, and …

Remember the days when the Big Bad Apple put the screws to suppliers, who couldn't make any money because Apple was such a hardass business negotiator? Haven't seen one of those stories in a while; seems now that the suppliers with cutting-edge expe…

Conceivably, this tech could allow eg 4 sensors that total the area of the current iPhone sensors, but at half the thickness. Software would stitch the 4 (noisier, grainier) images together, possibly exploiting slight focus differences to allow a 3D…

Sorry, @fallenjt, your average Joe never owned a Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera. He had a point-n-shooter a couple years back and it's probably still in a drawer somewhere, but it's not as good as today's iPhone cameras — and nowhere close to…

Agree 100% with @sflocal so here are facts that bolster the same points on IMAGE QUALITY: 1. Those great Apple photos essentially ALL in bright light. Indoor shots, low-light shots, have a lot more fuzz/noise/grain. 2. Unless you smush out all the…

I'm not a serious gamer, nor do I try watching movies on the smaller screen. (Remember when TVs were the [QUOTE]small screen[/QUOTE] in contrast to movie theaters?) Graphics I *DO* care about are about stabilizing & editing my own videos. Those…

Whether you call them NPEs or trolls, the label breaks the relationship between the hard work and insight that's necessary to make an advance, and the reward for it. The inventor who came up with intermittent windshield wipers did NOT work for a bi…

@KDarling wrote, “That's why it's not been fair to either side, that rule changes are being applied in the middle of cases.” Maybe you've not had kids, and/or your parents never told you: Life isn't fair. Deal with it. Anti-trust and p…

Kudos here for some real in-depth reporting. Too bad some more widely-read news sites can afford the shoe leather for this type of work. The only way to make it better? Pair this article with another one, showing Motorola's and others' simil…

PS: today was a rather cheap reminder that %u201Ca fool and his money are soon parted.%u201D Apple's stock price bounces up and down all the time and most of the time there are empty rumors behind the movements. Although historically stock splits …

This is a fine article: fun reading, spiced up a bit with some claims that can't be proven. But please, you should better understand things than to say, “[WebM] was still based on technologies that the MPEG Licensing Authority claimed to own…”. T…
