Apple says Dolby Atmos surround sound coming to Apple TV 4K in later update
You hit the nail on the head with that comment. I'll go one further and say that a good stereo setup is a hard sell to most millennials. Most of them that I encounter or have to interact with think their Beats headphones or their EarPods are the pinnacle of audio fidelity.jdgaz said:Atmos may be wonderful, but most will never experience it at home. Way too much in the way of speakers and costs for the typical family. 5.1 is even a hard sell to the millennials.

Apple debuts $999 iPhone X with OLED Super Retina Display & Face ID authentication
Check the keynote at 1:31:22. They specifically addressed this in the presentation. They used Hollywood mask-makers and makeup artists to create these "dummy heads" for the engineers to use to train the neural networks to recognize these kinds of fakes.tzeshan said:
I am thinking that a dummy head may be used to unlock. Unless FaceID can see details of the skin,melgross said:
Did you really think, or are you just saying it? As they said, no security is perfect, but this is pretty good. They even made a point of saying that it’s the best “consumer” technology, recognizing that governmental and large corporate systems, with their supervision of the site itself being a part of it, are more secure. Military installations that use fingerprint or iris recognition have two armed guards watching to make sure nobody does anything to cheat the system.tzeshan said:I think FaceID can be easily compromised by hard core criminals.
Shit, if someone wants to go to that much trouble to get into your phone, well...

1Password irks security experts in push toward cloud-based vaults
No, Agile Bits has not, as yet, removed the capability to store vaults locally or on any of the supported Cloud-based services.planetary paul said:I don't understand: has AgileBits come out and told their customers they can't use local vaults anymore? Has that function been removed from the software? I can't tell that it is. And how is the option to sync via iCloud OK, but not via 1Password cloud? Surely the same objections apply to both, but seemingly the iCloud option was never an issue for the security experts.
As for the question of it being ok to sync with iCloud, but not via 1Password servers, I think the reasoning may be something along the lines of the following:- If AgileBits 1Password servers were hacked, then the hackers would have just hit (what another post called) "a large honeypot" containing only 1Password Vaults. Yes, the vaults themselves would still have to be hacked, and that's a whole other story, but such a cloud-based repository may make for a very attractive target.
- If Apple's Servers were to be hacked, any 1Password vaults contained therein would be compartmentalized within individual iCloud accounts. Stupid question, but does Apple have any global access to iCloud account content?
- Presumably, Apple is much more hardened against attack than Agile Bits.

Jay Z pulls albums from Apple Music and Spotify
This has nothing to do with being Apple apologists, as this affects Spotify as well. And perhaps you're the one who doesn't understand, as Mr. Carter's move is akin to cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, all to manipulate people into subscribing to his floundering streaming service.voodooru said:the crapple apologists are out in full force. not surprised
None of you clowns make a living from
music. So you truly don't understand.
