  • Apple hires wireless charging experts, hinting at tech for 2017 iPhones & iPads

    This is the right approach. If I need a puck or mat, it's no different from needing a cable. 
    Exactly how I've always felt about the majority of current wireless charging technologies that use a charging mat or puck. You're device is still basically tethered to a static spot in order to charge.  In fact, I'd rather use a 6-foot charging cable and still be able to use my iPhone as I normally would rather than it laying horizontally flat on a charging mat, thus making it more difficult to use while charging. 

    Now if Apple could pull off wireless charging that only requires that the device be in the same room as the charger, that would be a game changer for me. ...but I'd also start to get a little concerned about the cumulative affect on my body from the constant exposure to all these radio, wifi, micro, and ultrasonic waves. Maybe it's not a big deal, or maybe in 20 years scientists will discover that the synergistic effect of this wave cocktail is a dangerous thing.

  • Apple Music UI to go grayscale, add better support for lyrics - report

    larz2112larz2112
    Over the past few years, with both iOS and Mac OS X the UI design has slowly but surely been getting worse. Things that used to be intuitive are no longer such. Things that used to take two clicks now take two clicks, a scroll, and one more click, etc. I'm sure there are some that love the latest UIs compared to previous, but I for one do not and don't have much faith that the current stable of Apple UI designers really know what they are doing.

  • Avid iPhone user Donald Trump calls for Apple boycott over encryption fight

    larz2112larz2112
    "First of all Apple should give the security for that phone, okay?" Trump said. "What I think you oughta do is boycott Apple until such time as they give that security number. How do you like...I just thought of that."

    The crowd responded with a rousing cheer 
    What a moron. Another example of Trump ignorantly vomiting BS and the halfwits lapping it up. He is so ignorant he doesn't understand that Apple doesn't have what he called a "security number" for that phone. It seems like he doesn't even understand what the DOJ is requesting from Apple and how it relates to everyone's personal privacy on a much larger scale.
