This is really disgusting. Yet another way to cheapen the marital act!

Monopoly! Lock in! 

You’re right! By what’s been happening to Apple lately, it seems like they have to open-source every innovation that would otherwise lead to ecosystem lock-in.

This is why I recommend to my clients more advanced, professional routers, like the ones from Netgate, running pfSense software. Combined with VLANs and separate Wi-Fi access points that allow the configuration of multiple SSIDs, I set up my clients’ main LAN, a guest network and an IoT network. Unfortunately, I am not sure, whether having full access from the main LAN to the IoT subnet and none in the reverse direction is sufficient firewalling. I would like to see Apple provide concrete guidance.

Isolating IoT from the rest of your home network is a best practice and should be standard in this day and age. Apple, let’s be open about it, so that any router manufacturer can implement these best practices without requiring certification.

What’s the success rate of new products introduced at CES? 

Very good question!

I wonder about the Barsys 360, for example.

My guess is that because of the small size and the flatness the iPhone dropped more like a leaf than a rock. Tree or brush branches may have decelerated the fall enough to keep it undamaged.
