Apple's first weekend of iPhone 7 sales roughly in line with earlier iPhones, data suggests
I pre-ordered my iphone 7+ just I did was iphone6/5/4/3G, right at the beginning of pre-order every time, but for the first time ever, I don't have a new iPhone in my hand... and yes, they charged my credit card... so sales is technically 'through' (iphone has been en-route since Friday).

Softbank to acquire Apple chip designing partner ARM for $32 billion
Just because a car has room for more batteries (than your cell phone) doesn't mean you don't strive for power saving. Less power usage for all auxiliary power usage would mean more mileage per charge. Low power usage is important in your car.tmay said:
Ubiquitous use of solar panels would do the same to mitigate the added power requirements, considering everything is on the grid anyway. I'm not seeing a problem, relative to the rest of our power needs.rcfa said:In the contrary: low power isn't just about battery life, it's about environmental impact and cost: can you imagine a future in which each power outlet in your home has a built in computer with an IPv6 stack and a RESTful XMLRPC API to control it, read out power consumption, etc?
Do you know how many billion of electrical outlets there are? It's absolutely imperative that these IoT devices are total power misers, or else we'll have to build power plants like crazy.
Always think: many small dogs also make a giant pile of poo.

Review: DJI's Phantom 4 sets new standard for affordable drones
I recently had to sign an agreement/contract at a hotel to NOT fly drones because obviously the hotel management was worried about drones/picture takings/filming and hotel guests' privacy. Live Streaming certainly helps... let's say if you find something interesting from far away that you want to take a closer look (i.e. better pictures), you can then fly closer and take better pictures, etc.

iPhone SE preorders top 3.4M in China, gold & rose gold most popular - report
Interesting angle about folks with iPhone 6 trading in for iPhone SE. That may eat into iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 upgrade numbers.

JP Morgan adds to Apple supply chain worries, cuts early 2016 iPhone estimates
*yawn*.... didn't this happen during 5S days, and 4S days? and weren't they ALL wrong the last few times too?
