  • Apple's latest video ad continues focus on iPhone 7 Plus Portrait Mode

    I think its time the Camera app stopped automatically saving both version in Portrait mode, or at least give the option not to save the non-enhanced version.
    Its proven that it works as most expect at the moment, and if I use it, its precisely because I want that effect, not an infinite depth version.

  • Teardown finds Apple's new iPad largely similar to first-gen iPad Air

    They should have called it ( iPad SE - budget device ) and rename the air to ( iPad Light - general purpose "light" use device ) then ( iPad Pro - high end large screen mammoth for .... what ever ) and ( iPad Pro mini [with the 10'' display ] - second largest screen device )
    MacBook, MacBook Pro
    iPad, iPad Pro

    They're simplifying the lines. Good move.
    My guess is that the September iPhone will be just "iPhone', but don't think they're done normalizing the names for that line yet.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook tapped to advise President Trump's 'Office of American Innovation'

    Government is not a 'business'. Its purpose isn't to produce profit for stockholders.

    Not sure how Google fixes this, ...

    It starts with Google (and Facebook and Twitter) acknowledging that their platforms have become sewers of hatred, bullying, and intimidation.
    They can no longer throw up their hands and claim "Oh, its just science and algorithms. We can't do anything about it." 
    These are ostensibly smart people, and its time they stop polluting the world in the name of ad hits.


    You are correct it is going to take real people doing the work not algorithms. It is not their platform that promote hates, it is people that does it and the internet as whole. As I said Google will have to figure which individuals not to target with ads since the ads follow the person not the website.
    The platform does not promote hate, but it amplifies its ability to metastasize. 
    Yes, human 'curation' (for lack of a better word... or maybe 'common sense') is going to be needed.
    But again, it starts with Zuck et al acknowledging that they're now the biggest amplifier of the disease, and they need to start taking responsibility.
