Lawsuit claims Apple forced users to iOS 7 by breaking FaceTime
Well I for one wish I had left my iPad 2 on iOS 6 not just because I didn't like the spindly text for one but because 'upgrading' rendered it unusable due to slowdown. Up to that point it was a fantastic device.rogifan_new said:I remember MacRumors posters went nuts over this. Mostly people who hated the look of iOS 7 and refused to upgrade. Some of those people are probably still using devices that run iOS 6.

^^Fantastic...more of this please!Rayz2016 said:Remember Denise Cote, the judge we love to hate?

After being told that a case had no merit, a patent troll went ahead with the case anyway, hoping that their victim would pay up instead of facing a costly court battle.
The troll lost and Cote told them that they must pay costs to the defendant.
When the troll's lawyer claimed their client hadn't got the money, Cote made the law firm liable for the costs instead.
However this was back in 2014. Has there been any other examples since then to act as a deterrent I wonder?

NHTSA closes investigation into fatal Tesla Autopilot accident, says no defect to blame
The fact that the Tesla Autopilot was in control & driving at 74mph in a 65mph zone i.e. speeding is a normal function of the software then? I understand the driver had apparently set cruise control to 74mph two minutes before the collision so I guess the software cannot override the driver even when he is breaking the law?
I also remember reading this at the time of the accident, quote; "Against a bright spring sky, the car’s sensors system failed to distinguish a large white 18-wheel truck and trailer crossing the highway, Tesla said"
Now that seems like a defect of sorts if it doesn't know the difference between a hulking great articulated trailer and the sky!
And the current NHTSA report states, quote "The report also notes that Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems, like those installed in the Tesla at the time of the crash, are not designed to avoid “left turn across path” collisions. Instead, the system is designed primarily to avoid rear-end collisions."
Well thats OK then...
