  • Ember's smartmugs can now track caffeine intake via the Apple Health app

    Some days, I think we've all gone insane.

  • Security researcher cited in Bloomberg's China spy chip investigation casts doubt on story...

    The reporters got duped, either by their own wishes for a great story, or by a key source who wanted to play them. This can happen, even to smart people, when they want to believe something, especially if it seems like it would be a fun and exciting scoop that would launch their careers. 

    What’s most surprising to me is the sheer lack of any sort of evidence: no documents, no sources, no confirmable details. With this level of evidence, you could literally make up any story you wanted.

  • Apple Watch Series 4: Should you upgrade?

    More than anything, the watch makes me feel like I'm living in the future on some sci-fi program, and it's well worth the price. I'll keep buying new ones as long as the improvements come this fast and furious.

    I was just thinking this morning that it was annoying to have so many cables to charge all my devices as I was hunched under my desk searching out a fallen cable. I hope someday someone can figure out something like this because it would be a convenience and make charging a little more pleasant.

    They're too big. Why does Apple suddenly have a fixation with size.
    If they would have kept the same 38mm size, I'd be in line for a gen4. But I don't want a bigger watch. 

    Pretty soon we'll have iPhone sized watches and iPad sized phones, and they'll make a iPad the size of a laptop.... oh wait.
    Seriously? A 2mm difference is too big? 1/16 of an inch? 

    What won't people complain about when it comes to Apple?
    This is how it stacks up, the red areas are how much larger the 44mm is compared to the 42 ... it definitely makes the watch look larger.



    Now compare it to the 42mm Huawei watch ... it's now larger than the watches many were saying were too big when the Apple Watch first came out, and the Huawei still has more display area, and no bezels.


    I think you could have argued the same point before this new watch, given that the size change isn't really much in the picture you used.

    It's also worth noting that with the Apple, you're including the whole thing, minus the strap. With the Huawei, you aren't including the additional top and bottom metal that's on the actual watch before the strap starts, and that looks to be substantial. Also, there are bezels, but they are covered with the steel ring. You may think that's a more attractive way to hide the bezel (and I think you'd get a lot of agreement on that), but the fact remains that the bezel is there (although it is probably somewhat smaller).
