  • 6.5-inch iPhone X, 6.1-inch LCD iPhone in the works for late 2018 launch

    Way to bury the source. Mr 50% accuracy at it again.
    Would you prefer his name in the headlines?

  • Apple Watch gets special Veterans Day activity challenge

    This challenge might be something for people are are very inactive, but to me, someone who walks 10 miles per day and works out 3 days a week, it's a joke.  
    All of these challenges are designed for people who exercise infrequently and general fitness education. Otherwise, they would be too busy exercising to care about getting a badge. I do exercise regularly in a gym but even I can use some encouragement like this from time to time.

  • Sen. Franken lauds Apple response detailing Face ID security

    First, I have stocks in Apple and I would ask the same question. I want to know if my Apple products are secure. Second, politicians are just asking for public information to help us know what their concerns are and how their concerns are addressed. So, what's the problem?
    When you've carefully planned and tested a security feature, and then prepared a detailed explanation of said security feature with links on your website again detailing the information, but then are immediately questioned about the security of the feature you just detailed, then it's fucking annoying. It's not like Phil Schiller talks like the restaurant manager on this week's Curb Your Enthusiasm, it's closer to Franken asking "You mean like out the toilet?"
    So you think it's adequate enough for politicians and decision makers to simply watch a keynote and look over some marketing material to help secure this country and its citizens? I don't think anyone's minds were blown here but I'm still glad the senator took the time to formally ask some questions in a public forum.

    Well, Franken got his 5 minutes of fame.

    Hey AL... why the hell did you not question Samsung when they came out with their botched Facial Recognition feature?  Well?
    Samsung is not a U.S. company. I guess he could've questioned them too but then what?

  • Microsoft pulls plug on Windows 10 Mobile, says userbase too small to support apps

    The most shocking thing about this story is that it didn't already happen 3 years ago. I commend MS for continuing support for a decreasing user base but how few users does it take for MS to finally give up and admit defeat, 8?
