  • Apple's latest iPad Pro ad asks, 'What's a computer'

    For me, a computer can manage files. ;-)
    I love my iPad pro though.

  • Rumor: Apple to adopt USB Type-C in another upcoming MacBook, whether it's Pro or Air

    Of course future Macs will have USB-C/ tb3. The question is whether they're gonna launch something exciting using the bandwidth at the same time. iPad Pro as a full resolution Mac tablet? A 5K display? An external multi core cpu expansion for professionals? Anything?

  • First photos of alleged 'iPad Pro 2' surface in China

    That looks like a 9" iPad to me. The proportion of the camera, home button, and the hand on the left, in relative to the screen size, suggests it's smaller than the 12.9".

  • French talk show resorts to iPhones to continue shooting after power outage

    That whole thing looks like a French scam in the making.

    I clicked on the one youtube video, and you can see the lights go out at 3 seconds into the video.

    At 8 seconds into the video, there is already some French Text scrolling at the bottom, telling people about some "incident electrique"!

    I call BS on that. That seems real suspicious. They're not that quick! They seemed real prepared, almost as if they knew what was going to happen.
    I don't think it's a live broadcast they put up on youtube. I think when they were editing it, they patched it together this way.
    But no point in getting into a discussion over this crap. I totally agree it looks like a scam, due to the low quality. But I don't know french. Looks like the ones who do, based on this little thread, don't like the show at all..

  • French talk show resorts to iPhones to continue shooting after power outage

    Good quick solution. Once you have the audience and you're into it, you sort of just have to keep going, like they did. Although pretty bad footage, I have to say. I'm surprised they didn't let the camera operators operate the iPhones. Perhaps some of them did, I don't know.. Or perhaps their contracts told them not to, or their pride. They could've stepped in and made it look so much more professional. I don't think it's the set light that is functional. The set light is visibly pitch dark in many of the shots. This is more like the ceiling spotlights, I belive. Probably emergency lighting, as someone pointed out. Also, to their defense, the studio cameras.. It's probably not as easy as just pop in a battery and a memory card and keep shooting. Studio systems might not even have the option to run on batteries, nor store footage locally at all.
