  • Apple Watch blood oxygen ban should never have been put in place, and Apple wants it overt...

    Prior art dating back to the 1840’s…. Karl Matthes, Glenn Millikan, and Takuo Aoyagi were prominent in the development of pulse-oximetry in the 20th century.

    https://www.cablesandsensors.com/pages/history-of-pulse-oximetry If anyone should be suing, maybe it should be Hewlett Packard or Takuo Aoyagi. Most of the basic ideas was done (conceived) by others, the advancement of mechanical engineering technology allowed the equipment to be made smaller and more compact in time, what would have been new to them would have been all of the advancements made in alloys and materials over the years which was used to build smaller more compact devices, however the core functionality, would have been recognizable to them. Massimo and Apple merely built upon/on their shoulders, the prior art of many others who came before them starting with an idea in the 1840’s.

  • DOJ goes after US citizen for developing anti-ICE app

    Hmm, who could have guessed interfering with law enforcement efforts would be illegal? It's no different than attempting to block a police vehicle doing its duty to protect Americans against those who would do us harm. You know… gang members, drug dealers, convicted felons, cartel thugs, human traffickers, and so on.

    And let's call out the specious idea that Ice Block is no different than a radar detector or warning drivers of a speed trap. A speed zone warning is an alert to POTENTIAL law breakers. Ice Block interferes with police efforts to apprehend individuals who have ALREADY BROKEN AT LEAST ONE LAW. Do you see the difference? Well do you?

    Pardon me for using logic and pointing out the obvious. Now go ahead and hurl the Leftist phrases you learned from CNN.

  • Apple buys two firms to improve Apple Intelligence, Apple Vision Pro

    Nothing unusual Apple over the years have bought companies (usually small) to support existing ongoing projects within Apple. They leave the blockbuster (buying something just to buy) acquisitions to Microsoft, Google and Meta.

  • Apple Product identifiers have leaked every Mac release through 2026

    I've been waiting on a new Mac Pro for some time.
    Why do you need a Mac Pro instead of a Mac Studio?


    If a large-screen iMac were available within an XDR enclosure, it would have been my preferred choice for my next Mac instead of a Studio Mac, I just couldn’t wait any longer and had to settle.

    The demand for a large-screen iMac or a tower version of a Mac remains substantial. Not everyone necessarily wants a laptop or even a studio-type device. Apple should expand its product offerings by making these two types of devices available. Additionally, they should design the necessary in-house hardware and software (which is relatively straightforward) and offer them to enable the creation of a Mac server using either the studio or tower (if the tower ever becomes available in the future).

    Apples in house GPUs are within striking distance of the discrete GPUs offered in the open market one or two generations away and Apple is Nvidia/AMD and Intel free for a reason.

  • AWS showdown: Apple once considered providing cloud services to developers

    iOS apps need cloud services and those developers are on Mac. Going for cloud would is so obvious. With Apple Silicon and the need for AI even more so. Imagine if Apple had used the experience from Neural Engine and aimed for the cloud. But instead Nvidia, AWS/Amazon, Azure+OpenAI/Microsoft, and GCS/Alphabet are cashing in.

    Apple could have stayed a solid #1 on market cap by investing in this.
    You know none of the financials, none of the objectives or details they discussed, none of the reasons they decided against doing it, and yet from your armchair have concluded they did wrong. Oh ffs, classic armchair CEO shit spewing.

    Apple Silicon and those five operating systems ecosystems, Puts Apple into a position where they can do very well in this area of computing and at some point they have to use their advantage because if they don’t, someone else will eventually come along see Intel, Blackberry, and Nokia for what happens when someone else comes along the opportunities won’t remain open forever.
