  • What to expect at the 2019 WWDC from iOS 13 and watchOS 6

    One thing I’d like to see is Health syncing, so I could, say, pull up health data from the iPhone on the Mac, or an iPad, etc. The current  iPod touch has an A8 chip with an M8 motion coprocessor. I’d like to be able to sync that data back to my iPhone. Same if I’m walking around with an iPad that has an M motion chip. I'd also like better Health Records support, and more health groups supporting it. Maybe make it so that if your medical group doesn’t support it, you can export your records, and import them into Health.

  • Apple to simplify Safari AutoFill with Touch ID support in macOS 10.14.4

    Face ID needs to come to the Mac yesterday. Fumbling for the power button location doesn’t need any more new use cases. Touch ID just isn’t a good experience on the Mac.  Your hands are already resting on a physical keyboard. Unless you have a really complicated password, it’s almost always more convenient to just type it in. Only Face ID would be superior to this, as it would authenticate before you even realize you need to. 
    Uh, I LOVE the touchID. FaceID on the Mac? Pass!

    I'm running the Safari Tech Preview, and this has been available for a couple months now. I’ve been loving it! So easy!

  • New iPad and fifth-generation iPad mini on the way according to Russian regulatory filings...

    As a student, I think an iPad mini with pencil support would be AMAZING! It would be great for note taking.

    Auto drive can't come early enough! Especially for the long haul truckers!
    Sure.  Let's put more people out of work just to increase profits and to give tech types an erection.  It's bad enough that we already have those double trucks on highways.

    We already have people attacking self-driving vehicles.    What's going to happen when idiots start cutting off self-driving trucks just to see if they can cause an accident?   The truck will either have to slam on its brakes which could result in a rear-end collision or it might swerve into another lane, which could also cause a serious accident.

    The Teamsters Union has 1.4 million members.   Do you really think they're not going to react when they start losing jobs to self-driving trucks?

    And even though human-driven trucks get into plenty of accidents, including some incredibly stupid ones, like shearling off the top because they went through an overpass tunnel that was too low for the truck, there will be far more emotion associated with accidents caused by self-driving vehicles.   As soon as there are more than a few deaths, politicians will start pushing for bans in local areas because it's an issue that's easy to understand and is very populist.    I can see the demonstrators now:  "No Self-Driving Trucks Around Our Kids!" regardless of whether self-driving trucks have better accident records than human-driven trucks.  

    And as far as this driver was concerned, if he fell asleep at 3am while driving, I don't care what's in his log book, he obviously didn't get enough rest.   

    Oh no! Think of the workers! Lets start smashing print presses while we're at it!
