  • Apple should work with carmakers instead of building vehicle on its own, Fiat Chrysler CEO says

    fotoformatfotoformat
    "Carmakers already have the capacity to deal with Apple's needs, and turning to them would make more sense in such a "complex business," Sergio Marchionne told journalists...

    Maybe Marchionne doesn't "Think Different" like Apple does... with everything!

  • US AG Lynch says FBI not asking Apple to break into iPhone, simply disable 'password blocker'

    If a scenario like this - and a few others coming from the same direction in the past ten days - were scripted into a TV series such as, I dunno... perhaps N.C.I.S., I'm sure the writer would get thrown off the production team because it's so poorly thought out coming from so-called 'intelligent' people! However, an interesting story line would be that the F.B.I. indeed HAD found the four-digit passcode in the terrorist's flat (most folks write them down somewhere easy to find), and used it successfully to get the info they wanted... before asking the local government office to change the passcode... then playing the 'innocent' party asking Apple for help... all along hoping to be given a 'golden key' to the future! Just sayin' ;-)

    "...a new obstacle avoidance system..." LOL... and we all now know Google's smart car reversing at a snail's pace couldn't even avoid a huge bus!

  • Supply chain suggests Apple will ship 45M iPhones in June quarter, bolstered by new 4" model

    fotoformatfotoformat
    "J.P. Morgan analysts... (snip)... originally forecast iPhone sales to drop as much as 15 percent quarter over quarter, but now expects units to be flat from the March quarter to June, at about 45 million units for each." So the name of the(ir) game is "Manipulation = Celebration" as in ker-ching!

    snip... the next step is for the FBI to have remote access, access to location services, camera, and mic. They would be able to track every where you went. Tract your conversations 'offline' by using your phones mic. Be able to use the phones camera to take pictures and video of you at home in your most intimate moments.  They could tract where your children are. When they leave school. They could tract your heart rate. Track how much exercise you get.  What time you sleep.  When you go on your lunch break.  What music you listen to. 

    Sure a mind reading machine could help stop some crime.  But at what cost?  And what if that machine falls into the wrong hands? 
    In 1949, George Orwell's "1984" was seen as too far-fetched to ever happen... your scenario above outlines what could happen sooner than we ever thought... unless it is stopped, properly, now!
