  • Apple acknowledges iPhone X becoming unresponsive in cold weather, promises software fix

    I don’t think it’s a “bug” the “touch screen” senses the heat from your fingers that’s how it works. If the weather is too cold the. Your fingers get cold too. So I suspect it has to do with this.  Apple just needs to adjust something related to the sensor in the phone I would guess. Probably how heat sensitive it is if I had to guess 
    No, touch screens work via capacitance... the electrical disruption of a plane caused by your finger. It’s likely that changes in temperature effect how that electrical change is measured and it could be that Apple had lowered the power to the touch screen or are not altering the power enough to accomodate atmospheric changes.

  • Apple accused of sharing Qualcomm's software secrets with Intel in new lawsuit

    Apple is a dishonest company, stemming from Steve Jobs' categorization of employees as "pirates". Basically Apple steals intellectual property and most successfully from individuals like me. I wrote the "What will Your Verse Be?" Robin Williams Dead Poets speech that Apple stole to sell iPads with. I designed it to offer hope to suicidal teeagers, but Apple repurposed it without my permission via a Harvey Weinstein theft to make millions of dollars. I have given Apple ample proof of my authorship, they refuse even to contact me. Apple should pay the people it has cheated and pay its taxes without equivocation. It is the largest company in the world, society has tolerated their thieving for decades, and it is certainly time that Apple pulls its own weight.
    Not to sound rude, but did you have your work copyrighted? Was it your work or was it work for hire?  If you wrote the speech that was given in the Dead Poets Society, were you paid by the movie studio and production for your contribution?  I guess my point is that you can claim someone stole your intellectual property all day, but if it was really yours, you should have protected it with the readily available and generally inexpensive IP protection tools this country offers.

    If you have copyrighted it and can claim ownership by submitting the work to the Library of Congress, then press your case, contact an attorney and sue Apple for damages.  But it sounds like you wrote or provided that speech to Touchstone Pictures and your work for hire agreement likely had anything you produced under contract to be the rightful property of the movie.  If Apple approached Touchstone (or the new owner of the work) and licensed use of the movie speech, then your qualm is not with Apple, but with whomever you contracted with when you wrote the speech.

    So I'm sorry that you have been slighted, but I really don't see how this is Apple's fault.  You produced a speech that is well known and made public by a movie and one which inspired Apple to use that work in an ad.  Apple likely contacted the correct people to purchase the rights to the movie and that segment for the purpose of advertising.  If you don't believe this aligns with your original work-for-hire contract with the script writing team or whatever, then you need to press your case using the ample legal facilities at your disposal.  It sounds like that's not worth it to you so you are just complaining to the "big guy" that they owe you something because you made a bad deal so many years ago.

  • Apple designing iPhones, iPads without Qualcomm modems after key testing software withheld...

    You've obviously missed a little factoid that Apple designs the most efficient and powerful custom silicon in the mobile industry.  Apple has already shown they can best Qualcomm in raw performance and efficient in CPU.  They've proven they can create best-of-breed GPU silicon.  They've shown they have the wireless chops to build the W1 chip in the AirPods.  They've shown they can make incredibly power efficient chips in the Apple Watch.  And some how you think they'd drop the ball on this even though there is no evidence to the contrary?

    I don't see how this ends well for Qualcomm.
    Well, say Apple designs it's own modems and they turn out to have a design flaw that leads to disconnects or increased power usage - suddenly Qualcomm looks pretty good. 

    Qualcom his a slimy company and they deserve to get dumped, but they do make good chips, so Apple (or any other company) needs to make sure they have a solid replacement in line first.
