Apple invention turns Apple Watch into urgent care alert system
interdyne said:
This is what the watch was supposed to be, should be and will be. Today everyone outside of a hospital bed is unmonitored. Five years from now, I believe it will be considered unsafe/insane to be unmonitored. Everyone in the world who can afford it will be monitored. This is a multibillion-dollar, multibillion-user market that the Apple Watch was always meant to address. And now, hopefully, it will.AppleInsider said:A patent application published Thursday suggests Apple is working to turn Apple Watch into a full-fledged medical device, one that can monitor a user's vital signs and automatically send out an alert should they need urgent care.
When this comes out, I will buy an Apple Watch, put it on and never take it off again.
that is hyperbole.
The largest portion of the population has absolutley no need to be monitored for health events.
To even suggest that it will be "unsafe/insane to be unmonitored" is a ludicrous statement.

Google self-driving car bears 'some responsibility' in accident for first time ever
the fault lies solely in the hands of the vehicle that was leaving its lane.melgross said:
If the bus was acting properly, and the car made an error in expecting that the bus wouldn't move, then whose fault is that?hike1272 said:Of course...
a private citizen's car runs into a Government vehicle and the Government official says that it is the citizen's fault.
i call bullshit!
i have seen this in real life involving real people. the citizen received a ticket by the officer who caused the accident. the citizen protested and the duty officer arrived and issued the citizen another ticket. the citizen protested and the highway patrol was called. the highway patrol officer gave the officer the ticket and the judge suspended the officer's license for 6 months. quite funny. I guess google will have to program the ability to dispute a ticket with their cars. If corporations are people, then cars are people too!

Facing challenges from FBI, Apple vows to strengthen encryption even further
And with unmanned drones killing innocent civilians, perhaps we need to remember the terrorism the US is invoking in other sovereign states.Lib-Simulator said:msantti said:
Terrorists now know that Apple has their back.
With our deliberately-open borders, deliberately-lax visa enforcement, and deliberately-protected sanctuary cities, terrorists also know the US government has their backs.
political & economic power via mass casualties.
except in the 21st century they cannot hide it from us.

New poll says public sides with Apple over FBI in resisting iPhone unlock order
um, this country was founded on that precise idea!RickD0514 said:Since when does a company or person get to say "no" to the government just because they disagree with the request?
Apparently Apple thinks they are above the law and that their business proposition is more valuable than other people's lives. Throw Cook in jail for his refusal to comply ... and also for good measure, for being self-absorbed and narcissistic.
we said no to the british empire.

fallenjt said:
Sound so wrong AI. Apple didn't refuse unlock...they refused to build the back door.
after they already sent engineers to help the investigation.
after the law enforcement already had the phone.
after the county already changed the icloud password & subsequently locked themselves out.
after the county had a poorly implemented (and probably poorly planned) device management system for their phones.
the failures are all on government.
so we are supposed to trust them?
