    Still only 18 hours in an Apple “day”.
    Yes they assume you sleep at night, it's fine. In my experience it gets more, can go 1-2 days.
    In my experience, saying that something does less than what it is actually capable of doing also reduces customer complaints.

    How does one have a "clear lead" and another be a "close second"?

    While Amazon and others are topping unit shipments of TV dongles, Apple TV is achieving a strong showing as a premium device that appeals to users who want more than cheap hardware. As noted by Joshua Fruhlinger of ThinkNum based on sales data from Best Buy of sales of 4K streaming devices, "Amazon has taken the clear lead, with Apple TV a close second."

  • Judge rules against forcing suspects to unlock phones with Touch ID or Face ID

    Well even if the courts can't compel a person's biometrics (face, finger, eyes, etc.) to be used IN-PERSON to unlock a device, I'm sure that doesn't mean that the police can't use simulated biometrics to unlock it, assuming they have a copy of your fingerprint or photos of your face, which aren't hard to get. E.g., if the biometrics being used is Face ID, then the police can build a physical face. If the police have your fingerprint, they can build a fake finger. Right now this costs thousands of dollars but the price should come down as technology improves. 

    But don't worry, all California court decisions get overturned by the US Supreme Court. It certainly makes sense that the Fifth Amendment protects the contents of your mind but it probably doesn't protect the content of your biometrics. 

    P.S. I do live in a country with a constitution and that constitution has a similar phrase to the Fifth Amendment, so the issue is relevant to me. I look forward to seeing how the US works this out. 
    We also have the 4th amendment, which protects a person’s papers, and its not a hard stretch to consider a person’s electronic record as their “papers”.
