Apple polling MacBook Pro owners on use of headphone jack, other ports
I'm using headphones every day. On the road, or at home, I connect them to the headphones output. But perhaps more often to an audio interface. I'm only using big sort of pro headphones. So for me, attaching a small dongle of some kind to the big headphones is really no big deal. It'll just stay on the cable for the most part. -
Apple fires dozens of Project Titan employees as autonomous car initiative shifts to underlying tec
AppleInsider said:It seems, however, that Project Titan lacks that most basic of Apple qualities, as people working on the project said they are not sure what, exactly, would set Apple Car apart from similar vehicles currently in development by would-be competitors, the NYT report said.
1. Too many cars on the roads, creating jams.
- Uber car pool?
2. Too many cars not in use, is a waste.
- Uber car pool?
3. Too many cars with one person, (creating jams).
- Uber car pool?
4. Most cars fuelled by phossile fuel. Emissions.
- Electric?
5. Good cars are for the rich, not helping at a broad scale.
- Uber car pool?
6. Batteries of electric vehicles, are they really that environmentally friendly to produce?
- Nano Flow Cell perhaps?
7. Autonomous tech is perhaps too immature to work under extreme or unforeseen conditions: rain, snow, mud, old roads, old towns, protesters, countryside, road blocks, no proper roads, places with bad or non existing map data?
- Nail it! Until nailed, only authorised roads can be driven autonomously..
8. Difficult to find a parking spot, (due to too many inactive cars)
- Uber car pool.
I've heard some startups working on electric autonomous cars that you don't own, but share in a car pool and access like Uber. This would be contributing. But more one-passenger cars on the roads won't change or contribute in any way. It's only gonna make things worse. So what if the make a really beautiful wonder, if they don't contribute to cleaning up the infrastructure car mess, it's gonna make things worse.
the strongest indication we have is Apple's partnership with Didi.

What to expect from today's Apple event: 'iPhone 7,' Apple Watch with GPS, more
The teaser invitaiton picture also (kind of?) suggests that the new cameras can shoot in dark conditions. It's clearly picturing a photo taken in the dark. This is in my opinion the field where the current iPhones perform the worst. Taking photos in dimly lit conditions with the current iPhones is just sad. Shooting videos in the dark, however, is disastrous. This would be bigger news for me than zoom stuff. Both would be fantastic. -
