  • iCloud lawsuit fails over misunderstanding of storage tiers

    sflocalsflocal
    This was nothing more than a fishing-expedition for some pond-scum lawyer looking for a quick-buck.  Had the "victim" won, the next step would be an immediate cash-grab by the lawyer and file a class-action lawsuit where the big money is.

    It's crap like this is why we have volume-sized TOS agreements and warning-stickers on plastic bags.

  • HDMI 2.2 arrives with 16K video and 96Gbps bandwidth support

    Waiting for the usual tech-nerds to start complaining next week on what's taking Apple so long to implement HDMI2.2 after being available for "the last few years".

    Perfectly safe in jolly ol England.  No one is allowed to have firearms there.

    Oh yeah, car thieves are so well known for obeying the law.
    One reason why banning guns never works. It ensures only the criminals have them. 
    Gun laws are only affect law-abiding citizens.

  • Apple accused of cashing in as UK battles phone theft surge

    sflocalsflocal
    This is silly fear-mongering.  It only takes a simple Google-search to show step-by-step how to lock down one's iPhone to prevent thieves from hijacking the phone and cloud services.  Don't blame Apple for it.  Users aren't taking the initiative to do it.  It only takes 5 minutes to do it.

    I have my iPhone locked down for exactly this scenario.  It's locked down to the point where it slightly inconveniences me to use the phone.  I get that it's necessary and I'd rather it be that way than give the thief an opportunity to get into my phone.  That's just where it's at.  Apple has to balance on a fine line to allow the owner to easily use their phone, yet provide abilities to prevent any unauthorized use.  

    I don't ever want my phone stolen, but if it is the thief will not be able to get into it to do anything and thus will be just a parts-phone.

    No need for a MacBook Pro redesign. It’s pretty much perfect in its most recent form. 

    Hopefully m5 cranks things up. But the real story with be with m6. 
    I hear the M10 chip is gonna have entangled qbits.  That’s worth waiting for. /s
