  • Just like its waterproofing, fire-proofing & security-proofing, Samsung's Galaxy S8 Siri-P...

    This year's Galaxy S8 has already suffered an embarrassment related to the fact that its face recognition feature for unlocking the phone could be tricked to unlock with a simple photo of the person who set it up."

    If you read the comments in the article, you would know that this is NOT a security feature and been around in Android for years. Even a few years ago they already proved that it was not a security feature, and when activated the phone tells you it does not recommend you use it.

    This is but one example from this long article where facts get missed. Seems that is all that D "Fake News" ED can do.

    Say what? Did you forget what Google did with Face Unlock after it was fooled by a picture? They added Liveness Check where you had to blink to "prove" you're not a picture.

    It's beyond ridiculous that Samsung could have missed this given the publicity surrounding Face Unlock the first time it was fooled. Did they even test it with a picture when they were developing this? Shows how terrible Samsung is with software.

    And why do we need 3 unlocking systems (face, iris, fingerprint)? Maybe they were thinking: "Google has 27 different messaging systems. We need to up our game and have multiple login methods."
    They test their stuff really?

    Good News IMO.

    The current design team has been stale and the designs lack luster.

    Look at the iPhone7. Lackluster. Massive bezels. Ugh.

    The Watch is a decent design. But nothing that says elite and classy. IMO the non-symetrical design of the digital crown is ugly. Should be 4 or 2 symetrical buttons instead.

    The Airpods are not what you would call beautiful design. iPad has been unchanged for 3 years. AppleTV is ugh, and the remote is HORRIBLE. Apple Pencil is nice but charging it in the iPad lightning jack? Or charging the Magic Mouse on its back?

    Seriously WTF.  Design the last 3 years has been terrible to say the least.

    IMO, the only nice design was the Macbook and Macbook Pro.  

    Regardless its pretty obvious Apple needs to new blood in the design team that is hungry and willing to take risks.
    This from the guy that flunked Kindergarten fingerprint class.
    Sog can't write basic grammar either:

    "Regardless its pretty obvious Apple needs to new blood in the design team that is hungry and willing to take risks"

    use of  "pretty obvious"  it is either obvious or it is not. There is no degree of obvious.

    "that is hungry" - should be "whom are hungry",  design team is plural i.e: persons not things!

    Why have you not left  AI as you promised you would for getting the share price of Apple completely wrong. YOu HAVE ZERO CREDIBILITY HERE. Your "posts" are so full of nastiness and vitriol towards Appl and yet the company goes from strength to strength , your posts are like the ads on Yahoo predicting the next stock market crash, I suppose you might be correct at some point , in about 190 years.

  • Google's second-gen Pixel due in 2017, will tackle Apple iPhone in 'premium' segment

    paul turnerpaul turner
    My co-worker bought a pixel when it came out, he used to have an iPhone, then a Galaxy S5. His Pixel lasted 1 month before it mysteriously stopped working just went dead. He has to wait 5 months for  replacement. I told him if that had happened to an iPhone he could have walked into an Apple store and replaced it the same day. His response " I just can't stand the limitations of iOS". Such is the way with these people. I tell you its impossible to reason with people like him. Its fun watching him burried in his Android interface for hours trying to do things I can do on my iPhone in seconds. Stupidity has no limits

  • As legal spat with Apple continues, Qualcomm teases ultra-fast 1.2Gbps LTE mobile chips

    "Qualcomm is abusing its market position to charge high royalties on standards-essential patents"

    And Apple doesn't abuse it own market position of course!
