  • Now the US government is demanding users not wear Apple Vision Pro while driving

    With the sensors available, it should be easy enough for Apple to update the OS where if a steering wheel/dashboard/odometer, etc.  is detected the device will not work.

  • Tim Cook defends Apple Watch privacy focus in mental health talk

    I don't think Ismail's comment was that big of a deal. She certainly wasn't belligerent about it, just clearly technologically ignorant. 

    Obviously the watch is monitoring all kinds of things locally all the time and it does send stuff back to Apple's servers to sync with your other devices. That doesn't mean that Apple "is watching". 

    But, when you take into account what people hear about "the cloud" coupled with what they hear about the things Google and Facebook are doing (credible or not), then her ignorance is not that farfetched or unreasonable. 

    It was a teachable moment and Cook handled it with grace. Wasn't that kind of the point of the meeting in the first place?

  • Google paid 36% of Safari search revenue to Apple

    Even if Apple didn’t set a default and made users pick one at setup there would be people upset over whichever choice was listed at the top.  :/

    You just can’t win and whiners gonna whine.

    I know that there is a whole new regime and the Microsoft of today is not the Microsoft of the 90s, but I can’t help getting tickled at reading Microsoft complaining about the unfair advantage created from the power of defaults.

  • Apple pauses iOS 18, macOS 15 work to stomp bugs now

    Feels like this is more just a PR response to all the recent grumbling over their Feedback process. Sure, they’ll take a week to address a limited number of “high priority” bugs. Yawn. 

    I’d much rather see the next OSes brag about zero new features again. Take a year Apple, refactor everything.
