  • Apple TV+ 'Dickinson' not shying away from sex in NYC premiere

    "It's also clear that the show won't be shying away from the belief among most historians that Dickinson had a long-running same-sex romantic relationship with her sister-in-law, Susan Gilbert. "

    Most historians?  MOST??      I suggest "some"   or "historians who are interested in Dickinson" or something that qualifies this...    Is that contemporary English speaking historians?    Perhaps even naming the historians would be nice.

  • Compare the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max versus the size of other iPhones with this pri...

    There are a lot of possible screen sizes for the iPhone. AppleInsider shows you exactly the size of the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max -- and how they compare to other recent models.

    You've had this conversation, we've had this conversation: the iPhone SE is tiny and it's a shame there's no longer any iPhone that small. Except if you actually compare the iPhone SE with, say, the iPhone 8 or even the new iPhone 11, then the difference is startling. For all that the newer models have bigger screens, their cases aren't truly that much bigger than that of the iPhone SE.

    Um... 29% wider is truly that much bigger

    iPhone SE is 4.87" x 2.31"  
    That's the same as an iPhone 5

    The iPhone 8 is 5.45" x 2.65"

    That's 0.34" wider.  

    The iPhone XR is 5.94" x 2.98".   Now it's .67" wider than the iPhone SE
    The iPhone 11 is 5.94" x 2.98".  Same as the iPhone XR.  

    So let's see.   2.31" + 29% =  (2.31" x 1.29) = 2.98"

    Dammit! Now my XS Max is only useful as a paperweight!
    It can also keep the door from closing so the cat can get out after you go to sleep.

    Mike's comment, "if you lay an Se on top of the Xs it's about a 1/4 inch, or so, on all sides bigger" was illuminating. 
    Hmm, I actually came here to disagree about that comment. The problem is that for many, the SE is already kind of pushing the limits of comfortable hand-fit (and pocket fit) for people who like small phones. So, that 1/4" is kind of a big deal, and the 1" in the other direction is also not great.

    But, then most of us put them in cases, which adds even more size. So, it's worse than the core product in real-world use.

    I think we've been thinking smaller should be cheaper.  I think what you are saying is that smaller is smaller, and having something with the top-of-the-line capabilities in an iPhone 5 sized chassis might find another unfulfilled market segment, even if it had a top-of-the-line price??

    Instantly associated with some internal organs, something like the image below. So expecting some kind of health feature, a glucose monitor? Also the blue has kinda half filled liquid in it, level of glucose?

     
    An accurate, non-invasive constant monitoring glucose reader would be a game changer for many people.
    An accurate glucose meter would be a guaranteed buy on my part (barring a multi thousand dollar price tag) but I don’t think so. I’ve taken part of too many studies and know that the time between developing, testing, and getting approval is measured in years. And for a random study you need a decent amount of people and trying to keep a lot of people quiet about something like this would probably be impossible. 
    The way Apple could get away with testing and approvals without leaks is to test it under a different corporate name.  They'd make something that was close enough to an Apple Watch hardware to keep the governments happy, but it won't appear to be a watch to the volunteer trial participant.  It'll appear to be a Glucose meter that gets worn on the wrist.
