  • Tim Cook says Japan's Seiko Advance is why there's a Midnight Green iPhone

     "If we fall into price competition, we will be in a very tough position. We need to maintain quality to win."

    That has been my take in software over the past 20 years. I don’t compete on price with India but both depth and width of ability. I spend a good deal on personal education in some niche areas (like writing software for high radiation environments) but it has paid off well. 

    Competing downwards is a dangerous game. Competing upwards, however, forces you to always be learning.

    I'm usually very skeptical of these suits, but this one might have legs.
    Nope. Reread... significant prior art, never developed a product. Just another “inventor" who thinks they have Apple by the short hairs. 
    That is my thought as well. There are lots of could be an ASIC, PAL or RISC processor. The heart beat is measured by any one on these 5-6 methods. The detection is by heuristic or other algorithm.

    It reads like an idea and not something fleshed out. It reads like he had the concept but didn’t know how to realize the actuality of the invention.

    It will provide fun for lawyers to make bank.

    Everything helps, but for a millionaire, I think this is a small donation to a big problem.

    Now there needs to be pressure against GAS STATIONS to become green spaces. Every station's canopy should be a green roof by law.



    All big problems are hundred to thousands of little problems. If all you are doing is sitting in your chair virtue signaling how others should be doing more, then you are one of those little problems.

    sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/[name_of_application_bundle_here].app


    This 100%. 

    The team which designed the entire quarantine process must have been high on crack. The design is miserably broken if you do anything more than write live poems on Word/Pages.

    I so dislike the implementation.

    I hope the above still works.

    Really? I use maybe 30 pro apps for design/development, and haven't seen anything "miserably broken" in Catalina. 

    But maybe I'm actually imagining all that, and in reality I'm writing poems in pages. 


    If you have tools which auto generate test scripts, trust me, it is miserably broken beyond belief. The team was high on crack or their own self importance.
