  • Apple wants to screen real F1 races after its film's success

    As it currently stands, most F1 races are borefest processions with almost zero overtaking. Yes the British GP last weekend was exciting but most of that was down to the weather. (it rained a bit).
    I used to watch F1 and even go to the odd race but then it went behind a paywall and going costs an arm and a leg and then some.
    F1 today is all about how much money can be fleeced from the fans and now much advertising can be eyeballed by viewers and not the racing.


    I hope Apple does not pay good money for the F1 rights. There are better and more exciting sports to broadcast. Tiddlywinks perhaps?
    £7 a month for F1 TV Pro direct from the organisers, for all content, 100% add free.  Bargain, simple, and easy.  Not sure where your bitterness comes from, if you don't like it any more, for whatever reasons, that's fine, but don't blame it on being priced out of being able to enjoy it.  If you've been to a few races before, then I know for a fact that even the cheapest race on the Calendar (Hungary, yeah I've been) is gonna cost you about 2 years subscription costs to watch everything else for a Sunday seat alone.

  • Five years of Apple Silicon: How Apple continues to revolutionize chips

    Apple Silicon is one of the best planned and best executed moves by Apple - ever. If you're going to talk about Tim Cook's legacy, Apple Silicon has to be one of the crown jewels of his accomplishments at Apple. Truly masterful. 


    I think you are right that Cook has quietly masterminded an absolutely unmatched in house development in the industry, but I also recall that it was the purchase of PA Semi that laid the ground work for all this, and the A4 was really the point that this march was started.  Jobs had the foresight here, and Cook has done the legwork.  

    This is no fluke or flash in the pan, this is 17 years of solid and measurable year on year progression and advancement from nobodies to top tier without a single blip.  That's a record anyone in any industry would be rightly proud of.

    I watched the whole video. Like Glass, this is destined to turn wearers into public pariahs, "Glassholes, the Sequel." No one wants a pin with a camera and mic pointed at them. So a giant FAIL in the marketplace for sure. BUT... BUT... its AI capabilities are fascinating. What I mainly kept thinking as I watched the video was, "So much of this would be great if built into an iPhone and/or Watch." Let's face it: the iPhone (and smart phones in general) have been mired for a while in a lack of innovative and useful advancement except for the camera systems and--in Android world--different form factors. And Apple seems to have been caught flat-footed when it comes to AI advances. If I were Tim Cook, I'd be looking to buy this company immediately. 
    I don't really see anything that couldn't be replicated through an App on a watch.  If you've lifting your palm up to project a screen, why not lift your wrist up to see a screen?  This is almost like just giving your the minimum hardware you need to run a Siri that has AI.  But we already own hardware that can do all that.  I bet before these guys even get to a V2, you'll be able to access this AI stuff over actual Siri, even if that means via a 3rd party App on your watch or AirPods.

    What I found weird was the overall lack of excitement from any of the presenters, who looked and sounded as if they had spent around 10 minutes rehearsing this video. I know it's not fair or realistic to expect the sort of slick production you get from Apple (and to be fair, others), but as for many this will be the proverbial first impression of not just the device, but the company, then having the sounds of the presenters shoes literally shuffling on the floor audible right at the start just set it up to look amateurish, and it didn't really improve.

  • Apple adds celebrity 'Time to Walk' audio workouts in Apple Fitness+

    stuffestuffe
    Walking is brilliant for Apple Fitness, I can't wait for them to put some more gentle stuff for elderly and/or injured people to enable them to feel like they are not second class citizens to all us super fit adrenaline junkies.  My mother has an Apple Watch and is in my Apple 1 family membership and I so wish that there was stuff for her, aged late 70s, like very simple yoga and ultra low impact and slow classes that will allow her to improve her health more not just monitor it.  It might be a simple first step, but imagine a series of exercise programs by older people for older people, with age appropriate music and presenters, pensioners are simply not interested in being boosted by cool fit people half a century younger listening to HipHop, so less elitism and more inclusiveness.
