  • Blix trying to get other 'Sherlocking' victims to fight Apple in court

    Silly thought: Apply for a patent? 

    As a developer, I do hate that Apple frequently "Sherlocks" indie developers. I do think that, out of goodwill, they should provide fair compensation in such situations, but there are legal issues with that - opening the possibility of future legal action, particularly if the offer of compensation is not accepted (e.g. if Blix says that feature is worth US$1 Trillion). 

    I do think Apple could offer a technology licensing arrangement without admitting guilt somehow.

    Still, even if Apple were to license the technology from Blix, since they don't have a patent or any kind of trade dress, another company could sue them for the same thing the next day; then, the fact that they paid something to Blix could be used against them with that next company.


    Entitled developers. What an annoying group. You don't deserve anything out of goodwill just because someone else makes an app that's better than yours, an app that offers more ease-of-use than yours, or an app that isn't littered with crap. Either make a good app and keep people from moving off of your app, or stop whining.

  • AirPods Pro firmware update sacrifices noise cancellation quality for bass

    Crap! I updated immediately. Any indication they’re going to fix this? I’ve noticed the drop in ANC noise reduction. It was much better out of the box months ago. 
    I also updated immediately and I'd also like to know when a fix will be issued, though I doubt that anyone who contributes to this site or comments has this information.  Given the choice between noise cancelling and bass tones, I go for noise cancelling.  

    On a different note, what are "truly wireless" earphones??  Uh, either they're connected by wire or they aren't, no?

    Truly wireless earphones are, truly wireless. They don't connect to the earphones with anything, think AirPods. Wireless earphones are bluetooth like truly wireless ones, but they connect to each other with a wire, think Beats X.

    What a worthless human being. His mental instability led to him compromising a third of the population in the U.S. No excuses for what he's done.

  • Apple buys Intel modem business in $1B deal

    Cellular equipped Macs. Those are going to be great. Nearly everyone who uses an Always Connected PC or cellular iPad swears by being, well, always connected. Integrating this into all Macbooks will heavily drive up the added value for each on. Might even be able to supercharge the new Find My ecosystem, though I don't think that Apple will do that. Not until the modems are power efficient enough to compete with Bluetooth for device tracking. 

    All in all, very exciting to see what Apple will do with this acquisition beyond simply slapping another Apple-made part into the iPhone in lieu of a non-Apple-made part.

    Dying company lashes out. They'll make every claim they can to try and be relevant before they lose everything. What even is impressive about selling $20 phones to third world countries? Nevermind selling more $20 devices than other $20 device makers.
