  • 'iPhone 12' could get bigger battery because of smaller circuitry

    IMHO, you can simply never have a battery life that is "too long".  Would anyone complain about a battery life that was measured in weeks?

    Maybe it's just me, but I cannot imagine a significant number of customers saying "This battery lasts weeks, why didn't they make the phone thinner, instead of having it last so long?"

  • Apple TV+ secures Oprah Winfrey film on music industry sexual misconduct

    The documentary, which currently does not have a title, will follow a former music executive who was allegedly assaulted by a major figure in the industry. The Apple TV film will observe the executive as they come to terms with the prospect of going public with the story, and likely how it could impact both parties.

    So if I understand correctly, someone without any evidence whatsoever, gets to publicly accuse another person of sexual abuse, play the "victim card" on national TV; and the accused must prove his/her innocence in the court of public opinion.  The accused may have their career/reputation/marriage destroyed either out of revenge, malice, or just to appease the ego of the accuser - without recourse, appeal or way to recover their reputation.

    All in the name of "entertainment".

    I am no fan of sexual abuse, in fact if it were up to me, it would be a capital offense - but we do have a legal system to handle this sort of thing, where the rights of the accuser and the accused are both respected, where evidence is required, and proof of guilt is required.  This is a mockery of justice, masquerading as a "Documentary".  If you want to do a real documentary on sexual abuse, there are countries that practice slavery, where children are sold as sex slaves - but that would be asking too much.

  • Disney+ touts more than 10 million subscribers day after launch

    Was very pleasantly surprised with The Mandalorian.  I think Disney has a hit with this series, if they can maintain the quality of the first episode going forward.

  • AMD details the 16-inch MacBook Pro's Radeon Pro 5000M-series GPUs

    Given that Intel did NOT fix the Meltdown/Spectre exploit, even on the new family of their processors - this means that all of their current offerings were INTENTIONALLY left open.  So, perhaps Apple may want to consider offering some Mac's with AMD processor families; in the interest of security.

  • Questionable analysis claims US iPhone user base growth has stalled

    Why is this questionable?  Those who want cellphones, typically have cell phones.  The growth in this industry exploded for a decade or so, not the growth is stagnant.  The same thing could be said about Blue Jeans, eye glasses, deodorant and shoes.
