  • US Treasury guidance could stop Apple from recouping Irish taxes at home

    Love Apple products but you do shady shit, you gotta pay. Hiding all their money and screwing the nation that makes their billions possible is some seriously shady shit. 

    They got the money, heck I hope the government drops the gavel on them and Google and Facebbol and every rich SOB that screws us. Fuck that shit.

  • 'About a dozen' Magna engineers working on Apple's electric car, 'Project Titan' - report

    There are many new technological advancements in development. Amazing new research in battery technologies has been published recently. Tesla'a giga factory could be absolete. 
    I don't think Apple needs to rush a car out but do as has been suggested and work on basic research instead.

    The better short term investment should be in the medical and fitness technologies. They fit with their existing ecosystem perfectly already and can ship in tiny high margin boxes via ups, instead of the massive raw materials and headaches involved in something Tesla has been losing so much money on.

  • Adoption of Apple's iOS 10 already at 15% in early tracking data

    Before Verizon carried the iPhone. I was Blackberry, then Android user. Loved Blackberry. Android was a step up from Blackberry in all it could do. I liked Android but was frustrating with all the crashing and the inability to get the lasted version of Android almost any device older than 6 months old. ..if you were lucky.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again; the iPhone secret sauce is the amazing iOS. And I'll give props to Android because it's been very innovative and Apple has had to play catch up on occasion, but both have gotten better from the dualism and competition.
    But again, going from Android to iOS, was like a light coming on. There is no way I could ever go back to Android unless Apple really drops the ball on iOS.

    Apple dropped the ball in the design department, but its engineering and software devisions have thankfully carried Apple on its back to keep the iPhone as the only smartphone anyone should really consider.

    i always thought that the center button left a lot of unused space to the left and right of it. With such a change it's possible that like the virtual top row oled keys of the upcoming MacBooks, the same track pad idea with the oled row concept on the iPhone could open up huge possibilities other than just a "dumb" center button and so much wasted space. It would get rid if the silly "Reachability" option on the "Plus" and on the iPads and add features like text scrubbing and allow a whole lot more one handed usage. 
    I would not be surprised if this is how they handle it as it's the most practical use of that space, and only furthers what the iPhone 7 and new MacBooks are doing. I think it would be great. And the possibilities would be endless.
    I like this idea. But would that virtual bottom row disappear when watching a video or using apps?

    Personally I'd like a virtual button that only appears:

    1. when you unlock the screen - by lifting phone (feature in iOS10) or clicking power button to wake up phone
    2. on home screen it would be in the middle of the bottom row of Apps
    3. When using Apps, swipe up to access home button

    I would imagine it be a separate low power screen that disappears when you watch a movie or are doing anything else and only appears when you double tap it or whennits wakened when you pick up the phone.
    Why light up the whole screen when woken as it does now?
    thats my thinking but maybe part of the whole screen. But i think an oled low power strip at the bottom like on the new upcoming MacBooks would be aesthetically more pleasing and more energy efficient. To make it all one big screen might require another screen ratio resolution change too.

    ...and as a second element it wouldn't break with existing iPhones or software. I think to do so otherwise might cause havoc nothing like the first resolution change. 
    The more i think of it the more i think this is how it would work. 
    It would certainly make ipads and pluses more  productive. Anyone remember the old Blackberry days? That little trackball could traverse the entite screen easily quickly and efficiently. Far fat better tjan reachability. 

    Heck, add it to both top and bottom so you don't have to worry which way you picked it up. In landscape it would be awesome for game controls and customizabilty. For drawing and photo apps have pallets on either side. I just think it would open iOS like with dynamite.
