  • Johns Hopkins University students can now use iPhone or Apple Watch as ID

    Maybe Apple needs to bribe the Ivy League universities to get in.

  • Facebook stored 'hundreds of millions' of unencrypted passwords on internal servers

    doctwelvedoctwelve
    Nobody cares. It changes nothing. Their user numbers keep growing. I don't know what it will take for people to leave. Seems no scandal will make a difference. Been FB free for 12 months and never happier.

  • Editorial: After disrupting iTunes, Spotify demands a free ride from Apple's App Store

    Your argument is that because the App Store cost Apple money to set up and continue to operate that third party app developers like Spotify should not complain about paying for it. I think you are missing the point. Both users and developers would benefit if there were competing app stores that Apple did not operate. Sure you would have to give up some security in order to use a third party app store but perhaps that is a choice people would like to have. You may choose to retain maximum security and pay Apple's 30% fee for apps and services. I may choose less security in order to gain the freedom to access a much broader spectrum of apps that allow me to do things that are currently restricted on the App Store. Perhaps I have one iPhone that I keep secure and another iPhone or iPad that I keep no personal data on but I use to scan my local network (something Apple recently shut down via its SDK).
    Well, you can jailbreak your iPhone if you want. I think the "rent at a mall" analogy is an interesting one. The owner of the mall has full control over who is there and what they can do. They laid out the costs for the building. Should malls allow squatters in empty storefronts?

  • Review: Apple's iPhone Smart Battery Case finally grows up

    doctwelvedoctwelve
    Good review. Have the case and you're spot on. I don't see any downside to it, and didn't see any in your review - so why 4 out of 5? What would have given it 4.5 or 5?

  • Worries about Apple Watch EKG false positives are inflammatory nonsense

    doctwelvedoctwelve
    I'm starting to feel pure unadulterated anger towards the trashy Verge website lately. Soooo sick of hearing opinions gussied up as journalism. And they really have it in for Apple at the moment. Even the Doctor angered me. "Apple watch might help people over 65 but they aren't tech savy." What? I live in Seattle and there are probably 30 or so people well over 65 who go to my gym. Guess what they're all wearing on their wrist. 

    Appleinsider is quickly becoming the reality check on the BS written about Apple everywhere else. Glad you are, but sad you have to.
