  • Apple, Google confirm new EU 'gatekeeper' law applies to them

    Does anyone know where I can buy a new, two-slice toaster?

  • Apple Car is a matter of 'when, not if' claims analyst

    In case anyone is an idiot like me and doesn't know what the hell wet bulb temperature means, here's some relevant info from Wikipedia:

    "The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be reached under current ambient conditions by the evaporation of water only.

    Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (130 °F). The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is a wet-bulb temperature of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 70 °C (160 °F)."

  • EU law would let iCloud users transfer their data to rival platforms

    I'm confused by what data they're talking about. In the cloud I have calendar files (which already has a standard), contacts (has a standard), photos are photos, files are files.
    I guess notes and reminders don't really have a standard. Mail accounts can be switched around, but I guess a local mailbox on your computer could be an issue. Although mbox files seem to be common.

    Do they just want a slick system for doing this? iPhones have import from Android, and many Android phones have import from iPhone.

    It just feels like the answer already exists. Does the government want to come up with a whole new standard for calendars and such?

  • Apple on the hook for $1.1 billion in Caltech Wi-Fi patent case

    It seems weird that this isn't all on Broadcom. All Apple did was buy parts from them. Imagine if you had to research if everything you buy for your business has proper patenting. But then again, I'm no lawyer. Or doctor. Or ballet dancer. Or construction worker.
