  • Apple is not bringing pop star emojis to your iPhone

    I hope Apple doesn't.  If it happens, hope there is a way of deleting them.

    The Chicago CBS local station broadcasts using the ATSC signal. The ATSC broadcast video and sound is much better than cable-internet.
    So true. What’s also great and exciting is that current ATSC 1.0 can handle other more efficient codecs in the same broadcasting bandwidth that can include higher quality video than what is being done today.  Broadcasters just need to get on board and move away from old codecs.  As for ATSC 3.0,  the digital rights management has been pretty much a disaster.
    Yeah, some stations are thinking of encrypting some of their ATSC 3.0 channels.  The FCC needs to put a stop to this.  Encryption has slowed down the acceptance of ATSC 3.0.

    Will we see built-in ATSC tuners for the iPads?  That will be great.

    Mike, if you're reading this far, I've been reading into the prehistory of the internet.  There is an actress that I'm starting to love and admire.  Her name is Hedy Lamarr.  Such an exquisitely intelligent mind she has.  She might be a worthy article in AppleInsider.  She really shaped the current communications industry around the world.

    The link to the patent application doesn't work, but I will speculate again here that it is often the case that Apple patent applications are written so as to obfuscate what a resulting end product might actually be.

    The USPTO website I think is powered by two elderly hamsters on a treadmill. If you get "unauthorized" all you can do is try later. It's a scourge and interferes with our reporting.
    You're great Mike.  The post for the day.
