Apple software head Craig Federighi explains iPad's trackpad support
PCs had command line interfaces at "the beginning of time" in personal computing terms in the late 1970s and early 1980s. There was no graphical user interface available to the general public before the Lisa in 1983, the Mac in 1984 and Windows in 1985.ITGUYINSD said:The whole video makes it sound like that using a touchpad and having a cursor is some sort of revolutionary new technology. What he means is, after all these years, the iPad can finally do what a PC (or Mac) has done since the beginning of time.

Tim Cook, Eddy Cue exposed to coronavirus at birthday party
SpamSandwich said:It might be a safe assumption anyone working in the Apple headquarters could be a carrier. Apple should do the responsible thing and shut down most of the main building, just as they’re doing with the stores. The entire world is coming to a full stop over this thing.You must have missed the story on AI ten days ago when Apple told all employees who can work from home to do so.

Apple Watch 'Series 6,' 'watchOS 7' may have shareable faces, kid modes
Kid-friendly? Great googly moogly! When I was young, parents didn't buy multi-hundred dollar gadgets for all us kids. We considered ourselves lucky if we got 50¢ for candy.

Apple stops engraving iPod touch replacements following repair
No big deal. Many of the libraries near me have makerspaces that have laser engravers. I can do it myself for free if I wanted personalization. But nobody with any intelligence really wants to hurt the resale value of an iOS device by putting permanent markings on it.

Apple Watch helps save the life of teen athlete in Oklahoma
midwestapplefan said:As for the comments about heart rate. I am a competitive cyclist and can only get my heart rate up to the 190 range with a very big effort. I do that often, but man my heart is pounding in my chest! It is very noticeable and I don’t need a watch to feel that. Is part of that due to heavy breathing? That may be the case, but 191 is very fast. I feel fairly certain if my heart was at 191 sitting in a chair I would immediately know it.
No, you wouldn't. You have no idea what tachycardia is like. The heart rate speeds up but the pumping volume per beat goes down because there's not enough time for the heart to refill properly. The blood is not surging through the body. Stop trying to compare it with high exertion activities. Besides, on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. I can claim to be Cat 1 racer, too.
