  • Apple releases iOS 11.1.2 to fix cold weather & video distortion trouble on iPhone X

    roakeroake
    I have an issue where if I load Apple Notes on my iPhone X, it will freeze up.  The phone doesn’t lock up, just the application.  I can force close it and reload it, frequently to see it freeze up again.  It freezes close to 100% of the time when I use the search box at the top of Notes.  Once it freezes, if I wait long enough (minutes), it will start working again.  I have, of course, tried rebooting my phone.

    Any idea whether this is a known issue?

  • Apple accused of sharing Qualcomm's software secrets with Intel in new lawsuit

    BREAKING NEWS - U.S. Robotics, long-time makers of the Courier Series V.Everything V.Everywhere, have upset the industry with the surprise announcement of a new standard, Z-modem.LTE, with additional protocols Z-modem.CDMA and Z-modem.GSM.  In a completely new approach to CDMA access, U.S. Robotics utilizes analog tower hops through the CMDA network onto on LTE backbone, eliminating virtually all dependence on IP held by Qualcomm, Inc.  Further shocking the mobile communications industry, U.S. Robotics has assured skeptical markets and investors that they now have the very solid investment support, "of one of the most powerful players in this industry."

    Reports just earlier this year indicated that parent company, UNICOM Systems was attempting to position itself for a buyout, but had no serious interest.  While no official change to financial guidance has been offered, shares were up over 90% in trading after market-close amidst rumors that Apple, Inc. has purchased a 15% stake in the company.

    Calls for comment to Qualcomm, Inc. were not immediately returned.

    At least one major blogger for WSJ.com opined that, if true, this Apple/U.S.Robotics deal could sound a death-knell for Qualcomm, Inc., and by extension considering Apple's reported stake in UNICOM Systems, could bode poorly for competing platforms who would either need to stay on a sinking ship, or pledge fealty to company partially owned by their chief competitor.  While the industry did not take quite as dire a view of Qualcomm, Inc's future if the rumors held true, it was clear that game had changed, Qualcomm, Inc. had found itself somewhere outside the playing field, likely being regulated to a chip foundry rather than an IP licensing corporation.
