    Copy what? something that doesn't exist.
    A: "Apple will have an ugly square camera bump."
    B: "Apple lost it, it's so ugly."

    A: "Google will copy a square camera bump like Apple."
    B: "Copy what? Something that doesn't exist."

    I love how double standard our life is.

    Speaking of Sherlocking....
    ...which appears to be beneficial to consumers. And free.

  • Google Stadia game streaming launching in November with $129 'Founder's Edition' hardware

    I am not sure if I wanted to pay $129 + monthly subs to play those titles on my Mac. I have already had most of the games listed and use bootcamp to play them in Windows without subs or additional hardware.

  • Developers talk about being 'Sherlocked' as Apple uses them 'for market research'

    As a consumer, if Apple can "built-in" some of the greatest Apps made and make it available for free, I would be extremely happy. As a developer though not so much, but I hope Apple either:
    1. make the way it works slightly different, OR
    2. compensate the developer somehow (not necessarily monetary).

    "Now what's amazing is that this whole interaction is end-to-end encrypted and anonymous," Federighi said. "It uses just tiny bits of data that piggyback on existing network traffic so there's no need to worry about your battery life, your data usage or your privacy."
    "Tiny bits of data"? Put the following text in a terminal window: "ls | MD5". The resulting hash is hardly "tiny", it looks to me like 128 bits of data. And Apple's hashes may be even larger than that. Multiply that by a billion(?) devices transmitting once per minute and that's a lot. I'm not sure how it can piggyback either. There's no such thing as a free lunch or a perpetual motion machine. This sort of innovation is hard to get right. Remember, you aren't just needing to protect yourself from the US government, people also need to be protected from malicious governments like the majority of governments in the world today, many with billion dollar budgets for hacking who are legally allowed to hack their own citizens.

    We don't exactly know how Apple does this behind the scene to keep it as tiny as possible. My guess it would be a compressed bit? But it's more likely that only 1 device are allowed to be piggyback at 1 time, and the 1 time is prob less than a nanosecond. With that logic, it makes sense that load is practically zero to any device.
