  • Apple's Wide Color screen on the iPhone 7 will lead to more faithful color reproduction

    Strange here, too. I'm using a Mid-2014 15" Retina MacBook Pro. In System Preferences/Displays/Color, if I select Color LCD (the default), I see just a red/orange square, but if I select ACES CG Linear or Adobe RGB (1998), I clearly see the logo. Even stranger, if I try out all the color options and then go back to ACES CG Linear or Adobe RGB (1998), I no longer see the logo. Quitting System Preferences and then going back to System Preferences/Displays/Colors, I can once again see the logo if I select ACES CG Linear or Adobe RGB (1998).
    The internal display on your Mac is only an sRGB display, if you select Adobe RGB you will get inaccurate colour reproduction - you may see the additional colour space information (the logo) but it isn't being displayed accurately. The Adobe RGB setting should really only be used when outputting to an Adobe RGB capable external monitor - although if you can afford that you should really be using a colourimeter to achieve a better calibration rather than using a generic Apple colour profile.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook calls EU tax ruling 'total political crap,' cites potential anti-US sentiment

    This is probably a good time to repeat myself:

    The EU has a VAT - value added tax system, where the taxes are allocated based on where the value to the product was added. 

    They do not have a sales tax based system.

    No value is added in the EU, they are just a consumer.  So the taxes should rightfully be applied upstream - either to the US, where the product was designed and developed, or in China where the product was built. (or Ireland where the R&D is performed *cough*). 
    You can repeat yourself as many times as you wish but it doesn't make your statement correct about no value being added within the EU. The distribution and retail processes are all adding value in a VAT system.

  • Macs may go even longer between revamps as Intel kills tick-tock

    this makes so much sense...they're probably leaving a lot of room on the table for improvement with each tic-tock cycle. plus it buys them some time to fight physics...as they start to hit walls that need breaking down.
    and AMD are no threat so they can afford to ease up.

  • iPhone SE battery bests iPhone 6s, Samsung Galaxy S7 in stress test

    I don't think the thickness made much of a difference in the battery. It's battery is better because it's powering a smaller screen with lower resolution and no 3D Touch. Even though it's thicker, it likely has a smaller battery than the 6S. So it's not like that added thickness gave it more room for extra battery. 
    If the iPhone 6s was the same thickness it would have better battery life. Typically the larger the device the better the battery life because the percentage of battery to electronics increases more than the extra power consumption of the larger screen. This is why Android phones started to go large in the first place, to improve battery life, and why the iPad has better battery life compared to the iPhone.
