Problem with wireless charging is how slow it’s compare to quick wired charging. This article is useless if it doesn’t talk about that.

Yeah, update now! Because having a "critical security issue that could allow attackers to take control of affected computers" that was previously unreported sounds like a great selling point. Yeesh.

Maybe delete Firefox and switch to a different browser. 

I literally updated yesterday. What's the big deal? Like other software haven't had critical vulnerabilities. *cough* Flash *cough* For that matter, why don't you chuck your computers since Intel vulnerabilities still exist?

What about all the other wearable heart rate monitors on the market today and those that pre-existed the Apple Watch? Normally I am suspicious of the "everyone is a lying thieving crook but Apple who can do no wrong" crowd but even if the Apple Watch has "the best" heart rate monitor on the market among wearables there are plenty that are quite good. Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung and even Fossil are reported to have good ones in their watches and bands by the various consumer review sites and a good percentage of them even rate Garmin's as better. It may not be an open standard like, say, bluetooth but it still appears to have been a common and widely implemented technology for years.

They're suing Apple because they claimed to have met with Apple, shared info with Apple, and Apple subsequently hired away key employees and deployed tech that Masimo thinks infringed on Masimo tech.  I don't think Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, or Fossil meet any of those thresholds for being sued.

Or 1. They could be waiting to sue those guys later (like Sonos suing Google instead of Goggle and Amazon because they can only afford to sue one at a time)
Or 2. The other guys could have licensed Masimo IP
Or 3. Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, and Fossil secretly formed a Cabal and are secretly bankrolling Masimo's lawsuit against Apple in the hopes of gaining an embargo on the Apple Watch so their smartwatches have a chance of gaining a foothold.  Moments before the judge renders a verdict in favor of the cAbal, the trial is interrupted with the bombshell info that the entire trial has been a conspiracy against Apple and the Apple Watch.  As the judge rules against the caBal, a Samsung Ballie rolls slowly into the courtroom and shoots darts into the necks of the cabAl members so they can't turn against each other.  Which means someone was controlling the cabaL. dun-dun-duuuuuunnnnn.

Not gonna lie.  Sort really hoping for option 3.

Stroud hopes that other parents will be cautious when giving AirPods to their kids, as she never anticipated her son would swallow the AirPod.

Absolutely worst case of entitled parenting.  What the heck are parents doing by giving 7-year-olds such expensive, elaborate gifts?  I tell you... kids nowadays (and their parents) are what's wrong with society.

When I was seven, I was happy just playing outside in the dirt.

What are you talking about?  AirPods are are not expensive or elaborate as a gift.  They're $140 bucks.  For less than the cost of a modern console, the mom could have gotten AirPods and an iPhone for her kid.  MetroPCS has an iPhone 7 for $150 (still).  Last year when I got my daughter's iPhone 7's, Metro had a deal if you switch from another carrier, they would give you the AirPods free with the purchase of a new phone or bringing over a current network compatible phone.  I walked out of the door with 2 iPhones and 2 sets of AirPods for $300+tax.  

Actual kids toys can be a lot more expensive than AirPods.  What's wrong with society (well, one of the things) is judgmental people rendering hyperbolic opinions that contain "back in my day" references as if it's significant.

Absolutely worst case of entitled parenting.

I like Dark Mode, but the point that both the study and users seem to be missing is that you should put down all screens at least an hour before bedtime -- like when Apple's Bedtime feature tells you to wind down (if you've set it up to remind you and hour before ...).

I have no doubt whatsoever that using Bedtime to achieve a regular sleep schedule, and shutting off the screens before bed, will aid sleep.

Yes, of course, a published doctor doing research into the facts about situation A, B, C absolutely completely failed to realise that their research was unnecessary as they should have just told people to put down their phones, get a good nights sleep, always wear a warm jacket when it's cold, and don't forget to eat your veggies.

Silly doctors doing actual research into how the brain/body works instead of asking in webforums how one should live a happy life.

Common sense stuff if you actually think about it..
