  • AirPlay 2 comes to DTS Play-Fi gear, Arcam & McIntosh first supporting brands

    My main impression about this article is that McIntosh, a very high-end consumer audio component manufacturer, is using AirPlay 2, implying that AP2 is of high enough audio quality for very discerning listeners (FYI: I am not that type). I didn't not know or expect this from AP2. I thought AP2 was a method of sending audio to TVs and other devices not normally considered for high audio quality. Color me impressed. I don't know if Arcam is in the same league as McIntosh.

  • Samsung clawing back Galaxy Fold from reviewers amid faulty screen complaints

    And if Huawei deliver a "folder" that doesn't crap out? That will be a black eye for Samsung.

    I still think Huawei's "outside folder" will pick up scratches on the screen like no tomorrow.

    Procreate will be eliminating support for third party stick-like input devices (I assume this included), so purchase accordingly.
    Thanks, good information.

  • Leaked docs show Facebook weaponized user data against competitors, with little regard for...

    Perfect time for Apple to swoop in with a similar service with privacy being the key: no selling of user data, no advertisements, free to anyone (but offer perq's for Apple users), no pushing of "news" stories or other cruft, just keep it simple.

    Not a FB user but I see the benefits of an online service connecting families spread all over the world.

    FB would be hurting in no time. Kill it with fire.

  • What to expect from the Apple versus Qualcomm 'no license, no chips' trial

    Evidently I stepped into a discussion of some opinionated article junkies, not real engineers with proper credentials and hands on knowledge.  I reiterate, writing software is not engineering and you can become a "software engineer " by taking a two-week course in some blueberry college. 
    Do you know that CDMA was invented by Qualcomm's real engineers like Andy Jacobs? Do you understand CDMA?
    What exactly has Tim Apple invented ? Apple is not a real technology company,  it is Marketing.  Understand the meaning, not just labels. Samsung and tens of other Marketing companies have better products than Apple. But no group can match Qualcomm's inventions, none! 
    I am not going to tell you about my credentials.  But I understand the difference between real innovation and pushing up stock price, by hook or crook. Not a company basher, only presenting facts.

    Our political system in place has the habit of shooting itself in the foot, time and again. 

    Qualcomm must be protected at all cost and rewarded accordingly,  to continue producing real technology. 

    Also, stop calling me Einstein and try to understand facts. Resorting to mockery will not advance you career.

    Regards.
    Actually, I admire Andrew Viterbi more. He's the "real engineer" of Qualcomm's CDMA. But you should've known that.

    I agree that QC's engineers develop the best modems, I just dislike their business practices. (So does Apple.)

    Also, Intel bought Infineon (a modem chip company/division from Siemens). Intel didn't just recently start developing modem chips from scratch. According to Wikipedia, Infineon formed in 1999, so definitely not as old as QC, but not what I consider as a recent company.
