  • Facebook faces criminal investigation over data sharing deals

    But yes, more details are needed on what information Apple bought and used. 
    Apple's role? There's a report out saying that Apple was 'given' data privileges that they never asked for nor were they aware that they had those privileges!

    If TRUE, this is TERRIBLE for FB. It would show that they gave private data out willy-nilly to anyone, incuding those that didn't want data. This, despite their promise to the FTC to not sell private data.

    (Mark Z, "I got it! We won't sell the data; we'll trade the data! The FTC will never catch on!")

    Doesn’t the Group FaceTime bug absolve apple of their claims to be “secure?” 
    You seems to be pretty ignorant on how programming works. The bug was not intentional and was fixes after 2 weeks. Switch to a Galaxy and wait 2 years for your security update to arrive.
    Typo fixed: "Switch to a Galaxy and wait 2 years for your security update to [never] arrive."

    I look forward to Apple getting into this area and hopefully using sensors that go beyond motion. I've been testing AutoSleep as has my wife and the results seem somewhat dubious to us, to put it mildly.  My wife is a poor sleeper often lying awake for hours which all get's logged as sleep.  How it can recognize 'deep sleep' from 'quality sleep' based on movement as opposed to electrical read-outs from the brain is a mystery to me.  For the price, I am not complaining but I suspect they are just novelty apps until more sensor data can be accessed.
    You should try a different app. SleepWatch does use motion but it also uses your HR to determine your sleep cycles. You never tell it when you're sleeping and I've found it to be surprisingly accurate when knowing I'm both in bed and taking a nap. It even worked on a plane, which I found surprising since that's a lot of constant movement with plane and poor overall sleep.

    AutoSleep has helped me improve my sleep hygiene //immensely//. Correcting an ambiguity above, AutoSleep definitely and emphatically uses heart rate monitoring along with physical motion monitoring.

    As an aside:
    While Apple has devoted increased resources to expanding its in-store education (Today at Apple), I notice that all of the classes are focused on iOS devices -- and, if you own/use a Mac you're still pretty much on your own.

    This is an area that an experienced Apple veteran could help improve.

    I believe that the Mac OS on x86 will be displaced by iOS on A Series, an iOS that supports Mac OS. Apple has 1.2B users running iOS and maybe 200M running Mac OS. It'd be an easy call to launch the "A Series Mac" by 2021 (latest) as the 3rd iteration of the A chip (A15) on 5nm will easily outperform (in power and battery life) the x86 on 10nm.
