  • Facebook's attempted 'revenge porn' solution: Trust us with your nude pics

    jameskatt2jameskatt2
    So Facebook wants people to donate their own pictures to Facebook's porn collection.
    Then when a disgruntled employee or hacker hacks their server, your nude pictures are going to be released to the world.

    Hopefully, this will force Google to use HEVC instead of VP9 for YouTube.

  • Apple looking to develop custom ARM chips for future Macs, cutting out Intel - report

    jameskatt2jameskatt2
    Intel is SO SLOW in developing its CPUs that we have been stuck at 4-core CPUS for more than 10 years in MacBooks. MacBook Pros in 2017 are actually slower than 2016 models and are not not faster than 2011 models. 

    I would LOVE Apple to create its own Intel-Based CPUs. I'm sure Apple would create faster and more capable CPUs than Intel could.

    This is ENTIRELY GOOGLE's fault.

    1) If they want their YouTube App to run V9 video's (Google's proprietary format) then they should re-write the YouTube App to play V9 videos. The YouTube app is Google's app, not Apple's. 

    2) Otherwise, Google should stop blocking access to 4K MP4 Videos on Apple TV.  MP4 is THE STANDARD for video.

    BLAME Google for lack of 4K Videos on YouTube for Apple TV.
    I do blame Google for this but can they just include the VP9 codec in the app? I'm under the impression that this isn't allowed with Apple's App Store rules.

    There is nothing stopping Google from including the VP9 codec in the app.  

    Skype uses a proprietary Microsoft codec for streaming.
    NetFlix uses its own codec.
    SlingBox uses its own codec.
    Plex uses its own codec.

    Google is simply trying to hardball Apple into using Google's VP9 codec in Safari. 

    Apple will never do this since VP9 is proprietary. MP4 is the standard.

    MP4 does require licensing fees - which Google is being cheap about and does not want to pay despite billions in profits.
