  • Apple still pursuing software fix to avoid Apple Watch import ban altogether

    I haven't looked closely at the patents in question, but isn't it the general idea of using light that's at issue? That makes it a hardware violation, not software. I can't think of any other way it can be done, so if it is this light-based approach, it sounds like Mosimo holds the cards no matter how Apple changes the software.
    I can’t imagine there is a piece of hardware in the device that is specific to only the feature in question.  Rather, I would think software uses existing hardware (sensors, light, etc) for multiple purposes.  So maybe this is why Apple is claiming that it comes down to the software.

    Well written, informative article Wes.  The last point is interesting — maybe they have drawn a red line, and would rather fight and defend than settle.  The latter does seem to have future ramifications.

  • Senator Warren wades into Apple's Beeper fight with irrelevant antitrust rhetoric

    What comes out of her mouth other than irrelevant rhetoric?  She is beyond ignorant.

  • US Apple Watch sales and import ban: What you need to know

    I know this wont happen but I dream that This is Apple’s chance to drop the watch altogether and exit that market. It is by far the worst Apple product ever. I’m embarrassed for Apple. I’ve tried and given up on several models, most recently the Ultra 1. Obnoxious phone/watch integration and by the time I turn off 1001 unwanted naggy intrusive “features” there’s little value for the price. Excuse me while I search Apple support forums to figure out how to disable this screeching beeping crisis alarm signal because I bent my wrist too far at the gym. The Apple Watch “experience” is trash. Unpopular opinion but surely I’m not alone. 
    You are alone, and you sound like a real treat to be around when you have difficulty with technology.

    If you’re developing an app — run the numbers and determine up front what it will take for you to stay in business.  If that means a sub model, then tell me now before I invest in your app.
    All they need to do is something that's basically impossible and then you'll be happy.  Got it.
    Basically impossible?  Do you not understand what a business plan is?  Charging nothing or little while banking losses with the hope that someday in the future you’ll make a profit — this “strategy” may work temporarily, until it doesn’t.
