  • Apple's legendary workplace secrecy threatened by Slack

    Time for a new CEO at Apple. The things described here suggests the present one no longer connects to the people inside Apple and the handling of the CSAM stuff suggests he no longer understands the world outside Apple.

  • Apple's online storefront is temporarily offline [u]

    This is redesign is not very good. Here are two things I immediately noticed..

    1. When I look at it in full screen with Safari on my 27 inch iMac there is an empty space of about a quarter of the screen width on the left hand side. This gets filled up when I click on the arrow at the right, but only for the row I click on.

    2. When my pointer is in line with one of the rows of clickable links which extends off the screen the mouse wheel does not scroll the page. It doesn't have to be over one of the links - it can be on the blank area at the left. Once I move the pointer away from the row, scrolling with the wheel works again until the it arrives in line with another raw.

    I see a lack of adequate testing here. A policy of "it works on my computer so it must be OK". Similar to "it compiled so it must work" in computer programming.

  • Apple Watch 'Series 7' rumor claims glucose monitoring is on the way

    I've had diabetes for 56 years and have dreamt of this for a long time. A non-invasive blood glucose monitor was announced as CES this year by Quantum Operation. I hope these reports relating to multiple companies mean it will really happen soon.

  • Apple's Health Records API paves way for comprehensive medical apps on iPhone

    As far as I can tell, Apple Health Records only works for a few hospitals in the United States of America. That means it's useful for at most 4.5% of the world population or perhaps 15% of iPhone users. The population figure is from the US Census Bureau. The iPhone figure is a guess based on 1 billion iPhones sold, 100 million used in the US (not all the ones sold will be in use).
