  • Even the upcoming macOS Sonoma update isn't safe from this malware

    Why on earth would a law-abiding, private citizen want anything to do with crypto? Isn't what happened with FTX and Coinbase enough to convince you that crypto is nothing but another variation of a Ponzi scheme? Ever hear of the Greater Fool Theory? You take your hard earned money, and get a wallet full of Bitcoins that are useless for legal purposes, and hope you can find a fool greater than you to buy them for more than you paid. And that's if the crook who sold them to you doesn't just install malware on your device and steal them from you, leaving your kids with no college fund.

    Good luck.

  • Earth goes to war in second-season trailer for 'Invasion'

    The think I liked best about season one of Invasion was the focus more on the human side rather than the aliens. There was good character development of a very diverse cast.

  • How the Apple-Goldman Sachs relationship became an unhappy marriage

    In the world of finance, Goldman Sachs,
    A firm so renowned for its stacks,
    With each profitable deal,
    They continue to reel,
    My heart weeps for their meager tax hacks.

  • Apple Vision Pro may help users navigate with directional audio cues

    This is a huge reveal, it makes it apparent that Apple expects its customers will wear their headset while walking about, probably even outside, and that Apple embraces the idea.

    There is no way that it is safe to walk around while wearing them. There are obstructions everywhere, that our normal field of vision picks up without us even knowing it. People will be tripping over things and running into things, being attacked from behind because they can't hear what's around them when playing music using ANC. And wearing a $3,500 piece of highly visible jewelry that's going to be the number one target for thieves. People are being robbed, beaten and killed for $200 shoes and jackets already. Better to disable them so users have to take them off when moving.

    You'd think people are too smart to impair their sight and hearing when navigating about, but history tells us this is not the case.

    Nothing breeds lawsuits like someone stealing intellectual property and making a crapload of money with it!
    I have no idea how software lawsuits work, but do they have to reveal source code to each other for comparison as part of discovery?
    Even if the source code were to be included in discovery, the lawyers, judge and jury (if not a bench trial) would likely not be able to understand it. It's based on the look and feel of the software from a user viewpoint.
