  • Apple allegedly discussing Touch ID reinstatement, Mini LED screens with supplier GIS

    Face ID works fine for me unless I lose a lot of weight ...and then I just recalibrate it. I prefer it as someone who has owned pretty much every type of cellphone including a webOS phone.

  • Apple's Tim Cook marks Steve Jobs's 62nd birthday on Twitter

    Thank you Steve for a great company to work for, great products, and great stock options that I'm still holding after 20 years and now retired at 53 debt free. That's my American dream. RIP and keep innovating Apple Inc....
    The last time I saw Steve was only about a month or two before he passed. I was walking around on a break in IL 6 and saw him in the distance down the long hall, I looked down and thought of saying something to him as I was getting closer and closer, but felt intimidated to say anything. I was normal SW tester, I didn't work anywhere near Steve, what was I gonna say anyways? But, I sure must have looked uncomfortable and affected by him approaching me, and as I passed him, I looked up to acknowledge him and at least give him a nod, and he looked at me with this perfect smile and just walked by. He could tell I was uncomfortable probably by my body language alone, but he just looked and gave me this reassuring, almost knowing smile. He looked so happy and peaceful at that moment. Every other time had I passed him around campus he was busy talking with someone, or taking a coffee break in the atrium with coworkers, or walking speedily across the courtyard with a prototype in a black bag or box, and always very focused and serious and usually not available in any way, but that time he was just walking down the hall the same as I was probably just airing out his head on a break. I will have that memory and souvenir in my mind for my whole life and more than any work related stuff I ever did there, it stands out above all other things.
