Notes of interest from Apple's Q1 2017 conference call
This story from last week now makes sense:AppleInsider said:Apple's HomeKit business
Cook said he uses HomeKit in his own home, saying "Good morning" to turn on lights and make coffee. He's also automated his fireplace, lights, locks and more.Tim Cook sells another $3.6M batch of Apple stock
I wish I had that much AAPL stock to sell so I could afford $100 light bulbs and $500 coffee makers.

US regulators ask smartphone makers to implement function-limited 'driver mode'
Yes! Regulations are the problem!JessiReturns said:More people die each year due to the FDA banning safe drugs that they could use to get better, than due to all auto accidents combined.
These scumbags are not your friends, and they don't care how many people they murder with their regulations.
Bureaucrats want to slowly kill us with their "speed limits", traffic rules, inspections and health and safety laws.
I'm tired of the government telling me what is safe to eat.

Apple axes Wi-Fi router division, apparently signaling the end of AirPort
The Airport line of products is still for sale on Apple's website. I don't think they will be discontinued any time soon but don't expect any major upgrades.
I think Apple has seen the writing on the wall and realized that consumers routers have reached their evolutionary peak. They will not evolve as they have reached a "more than good enough" stage. They will continue to exist but be slowly be rendered obsolete by 5G.
Also I believe that for the vast majority of consumers a cloud based backup like Backblaze makes more sense than Time Capsule. It would be nice to eventually see iCloud offer a full disk backup option.

Banned Dash developer accused of nearly 1,000 fradulent reviews, Apple says
Considering how many hundreds of thousands of developers there are, how often do we hear stories like this?cropr said:I am not taking an side in this case, because I don't know the details, but as a developer this gives me a bad feeling in my stomach.
There is something fundamentally wrong in the way the App Store terms and conditions are set up. In case of a dispute Apple is judge and involved party and there is no appeal possible. If you are a developer and your income depends on the App Store, any dispute can kill your business without any means to fight back.
—Not much.
Don't forget that
