  • FBI forensic expert calls Apple 'evil genius' for strengthening iPhone encryption

    The way this news is reported by some media totally avoid the elephant in the room. 

    How Apple could find a way to protect their users datas that can be circumvent only by US Government agencies and no other government or private organization?

    Not being a US citizen, I found this admission from the FBI very reassuring for every iOS consumers.

    But it doesn’t support VP9 or Atmos so it’s worthless and unusable. Color me disappointed. My Amazon Firestick is superior in every way.
    It's up to Google to add VP9 support to their apps. But since they are evil and cripple their apps on iOS platform, I prefers getting my Hi-Def media in a superior format elsewhere

    A Thunderbolt port in a non-Intel product? How can it be?

    Samsung got it all wrong, people doesn't wanted the ability to messed up with color settings, they want accurate color.  If Galaxy devices have "natural variation" inherent to OLED technologies, It is up to Samsung to calibrate their display during manufacturing process to fix it.

    Giving the user the burden of calibrating their phone display is only an acknowledged from Samsung there is no color conformity across their products.


    No monitor is ever calibrated from the factory. There are a few that are pre-calibrated to Adobe RGB for photoshop users, but everything else is supposed to "just work" at sRGB settings. Your lighting affects that calibration. The age of the backlight affects that calibration.

    But there is no reason for Samsung to have released a product this much out of calibration. This sounds more like one batch of screens was released with the wrong driver (not software driver, but the actual screen hardware driver) and the work-around is to force the calibration to a level that makes it look more correct. You'll probably find that it has a reduced color gamut.
    That isn't true.  

    All iOS device and most Retina display Macs are pre-calibrated in factory.  Some new products like the iPhone 7 and the iPad Pro 9.7 are even calibrated for DCI-P3 wide color gamut with an absolute color accuracy of 1.3 JNCD.

    Here is some insightful informations about display color accuracy: http://www.displaymate.com/iPad_Pro9_ShootOut_1.htm
