    Do you think it's possible that Apple has moved former Airport engineers to the Apple TV side, in order to make the AppleTV a home hub that includes the router?
    If the rumors are to be believed, probably moved over to the Eco challenger coming soon, wonder what they'll call it

  • Apple's Tim Cook takes 11th on list of 'Best-Value' CEOs

    holyoneholyone
    This seems dishonest to me these guys aren't really being payed this little, how is being payed in assets that are as good as cash worth millions counted differently, there are people actually earning and living on a dollar per day, and here are these millioners being flaunted in this pageantry of the most high echelon of the one%. But you've got to admit though, that iMac on Tim's desk looks goddamn sexy ;) ,best Jony Ive design by a country mile IMHO

    One possible difference based on reports concerning the two companies is Google has long said it had no intention of actually building vehicles for sale to consumers. Their goal has always been to let car companies build cars on Google's autonomous platform. Apple was considering an entire vehicle build according to "those in the know".

    So this particular piece of reporting, which remember is a rumor like many others, has to do with the way Google envisioned self-driving vehicle cockpits. If true they are demurring to the conventional auto makers and their current drive-space designs instead of insisting that driver intervention be avoided. I get why they'd believe that allowing a human driver to interfere with autonomous driving would potentially make the entire platform more dangerous and unpredictable, but drivers aren't (yet) ready to accept truly hands-off highway transport.

    IMHO the best way forward if they want to get there eventually is ease into it with steering wheels for driver override if that's what makes folks feel more comfortable about it. For the sake of overall safety tho I think it's inevitable that hands-off will have to be the rule at some future point. Mixing unpredictable and easily distracted human drivers with truly autonomous vehicles in constant communication with other vehicles around them to prevent accidental contact is a disaster waiting to happen
    Agreed, but what I thought Apple might do is to make the care make all the critical thinking and calculations, where the driver just basically points the steering wheel to indicate a general intention and the car takes that input and make immense mathematically perfect determinations incorporating large sets of data from the current environment through the vehicle's sensors and execute the best possible trajectory of the move, overtaking, parking, tricky corners, reversing, you don't have to figure how anymore, carOS dose it all for you, this would remove the need for people to constantly be alert and making critical decisions that require training and conditioning, the loss of which can be fatal, then an Apple car could be driven by any person whether or not they've even set on a car before because all you do is point the round thingi to where you want to go, like a video game, couldn't be more simple, could be brilliant, and very Apple,

  • Apple having trouble syncing audio between wireless AirPods - report

    This makes sense. I have hearing aids that work with my iPhone. They are great in many ways. But, this is one issue, since they have separate connections things can get a little strange "between the ears" at times when listening to sound from my iPhone. I thought this was why the Beats earphones have a wire between them when the AI review of the Beats earphones asked for complete wireless. Be careful what you ask for. I hope they have a good solution. Bless those Apple engineers.
    Yeah, the kind of hellish time those guys would be having if SJ was hearing this. heads would be rolling.

    This is another example of Tim Cook's genius.
    Wow... you're singing a different tune today!
    He's either back on his meds, or his brand handler told him to tone it down. 
    Or some one hacked his account and screwing with everyone  :p
