  • Apple CEO Tim Cook attends secret meeting with tech and government elite to plot end to Trump presi

    @ "    Not on the citizenship issue, there haven’t."

    Not true, there have. This whole natural born issue is a non-issue. Next you'll be claiming that the fact the American citizen parent's female status is also an issue ( that's yet another of these birther types worries).

    Really, there are far more serious problem to worry about and at least one of the candidates is causing quite a few people to shake their heads in disbelief.

    He's not my cup of tea but a lot of people are following him and you can't just, in your infinite wisdom, dismiss them as delusional.

    The FBI has many instances where they would like to track extremely dangerous individuals.  These individuals are using the iPhone encryption as the tool de jour to facilitate their murderous, terrorist ends. Believe me, the FBI is not concerned about who you are going out with on Saturday night, or if you paid your parking ticket.  Cooperation between the CIA, FBI and Apple/Samsung would help stop future mass murders and terrorist attacks such as in France and San Bernardino. The software should still remain under the control of Apple or Samsung, as the government has recently offered, this to safeguard the right of privacy where law enforcement activities are not involved.
    This does not seem unreasonable but then most people would be very nervous putting their most private aspects of their lives on their phones. The nature of the smart phone would change. Surely, every alternative method to deal with terrorism should be tried before resorting to the extreme act of removing a big chunk of people's freedoms. Obviously, if you follow people 24 hours a day you will probably be safer but is that any way to live?

  • Apple TV App Store gains over 400 apps each week, nearly half of all apps are games, data shows

    pmcdpmcd
    They may be adding 400 a day or whatever but most seem really underwhelming. Not much better than Android TV. They do have Infuse, Plex and similar apps which are quite good but they also have a strange Netflix app, the layout of which is awful. It is also less than stable. Previous Netflix apps made it easy to view similar movies to one of interest. Now you have to view the movie to see a couple of suggestions. It just seems awful to me unless I have a setting wrong.
