  • Apple nixed Xnor.ai's involvement in Pentagon's Project Maven following acquisition

    All these Silicon Valley firms just do not like doing anything to help their country!  But that the way they feel!
    Blind nationalism is cute. 

    “Helping their country” - Apple have businesses, employees and acquisitions in a long list of countries and pay taxes in even more. 

    Government contracts such as these pose an immediate conflict of interest. Want to be the next Huawei?


    I agree with him somewhat. Just think about in WW 2 if all the best minds in the US don't help the government it will be harder and more costly in lives to defeat the Nazi. All Chinese corporates will be imperative to help the CCP so this will put the US at a great disadvantage.
    But then again, we're currently looking at Huawei with mistrustful eyes because of that so there's that aspect involved as well.

  • Apple's Emergency SOS feature foils attempted sexual assault

    He’s using Ted Bundy’s playbook, asking young girls for help. Unfortunately his victims then didn’t have a chance to have an iPhone, or the feature could be useless anyway seeing Bundy always rendered his victims unconscious immediately after they agreed to help.
    Apple should add current location into this feature so the police will know where to look. Better yet the location should be updated automatically.

  • Study upends theory that 'night mode' UIs are good for sleep patterns

    This is about Night Shift, not Dark Mode no?
    why everyone comment on Dark Mode?

    The AR glasses, another wearable, could be quite the game changer, and put the wearables category into the iPhone space in terms of revenue. Some fashion challenges involving wearing glasses in the first place, but the make or break will be what features and functions it can provide to users. If they are good, AR glasses could be as common at sun glasses.
    I think the focus of tech people on the glasses is quite wrong. In these days and age why there is no one improves the function of the glasses first instead of these fancy techs like AR. I’d buy that in a heartbeat. Functions like auto dimming, auto UV protected, improves contrast, Night Sight, be able to change from glasses to sunglasses automatically, can adjusted itself for both near-sighted and far-sighted automatically etc.
    My dumb glasses already do about 2/3rds of your list. ;) Auto dimming in sunlight, improves contrast, improves sharpness, UV protected, and near/far sighted automatically. ;) And I had flip up/flip down shades at certain times.


    Wow! What brand? I need to buy this, like NOW!!!
