  • Motorola's swappable 'Moto Mods' turn smartphones into projectors, loudspeakers, high-end cameras

    I think this is something more manufacturers need to be doing. over time the smartphone has ceased to be a smartphone. if I remember correctly a study said less than 17% of activity on smartphones has been actually calling people. smartphones now are basically miniature tablets, micro computers that you can slip into your trousers pocket. there are so many more possibilities than what they currently are, and I think using modular pieces like this to take advantage of a smartphone's power is a great idea


    it's why people are so interested in microsoft's continuum. it takes a smartphone and turns it into a computer. imagine a world in which all you need is a smartphone. you can use it as a credit card, a computer, a camera, whatever you want as long as you've got the right accessories
    Even without any accessory the iPhone can accomplish 3 of your wishes and more - it is a computer, a camera and yes a credit card etc..

  • Google I/O 2016: Android's failure to innovate hands Apple free run at WWDC

    And yet my Twitter feed is full of tech writers and Apple bloggers talking about how great I/O was and how Apple really has to bring it at WWDC. The last ATP podcast was all doom and gloom, and Marco even has a post up now comparing Apple to Blackberry. https://marco.org/2016/05/21/avoiding-blackberrys-fate

    I wish there was some place we could get decent Apple reporting that wasn't either D&G silly panic or everything's great Apple's the best they make all the $$$ blah blah blah. If these AI pieces are meant to reassure I don't think they do. If everything was peaches and cream there would be no need to write these pieces in the first place.
    I may be wrong and I believe Horace Dediu of Asymco is right how are those tech companies going to monetise whatever AI they are into. Money out must be equalled by more money in.

    Count me out!

    I do not want to be walking into any store and the sales person immediately knows my entire purchasing history, what the most expensive item that I bought was, what I ate for dinner last night and when I last took a dump.

    Two thumbs down!
    don't forget, you have the option of linking your social media pages also...hahaha..this has stalking written all over it....hot girl walks in to buy some jeans ...perv salesperson won't leave her alone and starts stalking her Facebook/Instagram 
    Your imagination is better than the guy featured in the samsung gear ad. Find out more and then let your imagination runs wild.

  • Apple hires Google X lab cofounder, former Nest head of technology to work on health projects

    You can bet she wasn't allowed enough creative input. Going from GoogX to Nest, REALLY? And nothing has gotten done?

    I would have went to Apple too. You know, where stuff is actually happening.
    Aww man.  That's cold.  LOL

    Seriously I think Nest will close down soon because it is considered to be a $3 Billion joke by other Googlers.

    Time will tell.

  • US shoppers increasingly buying iPhones from carriers instead of Apple

    adamcadamc
    Strange the latest thing I heard was the carriers are trying to steer the customers away from iPhones so how can they be selling more and besides which carriers are supplying their sales data to this research company.

    Pure guess work....
