Epic's Tim Sweeney is mad about Apple's EU App Store concessions
Wow. There's probably almost as many zeroes in that Epic boardroom as there are on that check Sweeney has to write to Apple for their legal expenses.

Apple Watch blood oxygen feature helps doctor save air passenger's life
You can make assertions all you want but that doesn't make them true. Why do would a thinking person just take "according to Masimo" at face value?omasou said:
Joe Kiani, the CEO of Masimo who contends Apple infringes on his company's patents, said in an interview on January 18 that Apple is "masquerading what they are offering to consumers as a reliable, medical pulse oximeter, even though it's not." Kiani maintains "I really feel wholeheartedly that consumers are better off without it."quakerotis said:It's not Apple's, it's Masimo's.
According to Masimo:
Apple's implementation is infringing on Masimo patent = T
Apple tech is neither a reliable and/or medical pulse oximeter = T
Then a simple truth table says T + T = T and therefore Masimo implementation is neither a reliable and/or medical pulse oximeter.
We could add According to Masimo:
Apple is "masquerading what they are offering to consumers as a reliable, medical pulse oximeter, even though it's not." = F
From the article (you would know if you read it): Apple advises on its website that the measurements found in the watchOS Blood Oxygen app are "not intended for medical use," and are designed only for "general fitness and wellness purposes."
Kiani maintains "I really feel wholeheartedly that consumers are better off without it." = F
Ok, it's true that he maintains it but he is wrong. According to the article, a DOCTOR on the flight said ""The Apple Watch helped me to find out the patient had low oxygen saturation." Do you know better, Dr. Omasou?

Apple Vision Pro resale prices on eBay are ridiculous
You're a bit of a fascist.auxio said:
Pretty simply really: purchasing something with the intent to immediately resell it at a higher price without being an authorized reseller.22july2013 said:
How exactly do you define a "scalper"? If I buy something then suddenly realize I don't need it, should the government stop me from reselling it at any price I want? Do you want everyone who sells everything to get approval first from a government agency? And do you want price controls that prevent the value of anything we own from going up? Does that apply to the value of your house, if someone offered you ten times the price that you just paid for it?hmlongco said:Need to shut scalpers down.
No government approval necessary, just massive fines for any online service that allows such transactions to occur. Force sellers to either enter an authorized reseller ID or enter the serial number of item they're selling, which can then be used to validate the date of purchase and purchase price, to ensure that it's not being sold over the MSRP within 30 days of purchase.

Beeper Mini is down for 5% of users, but there's a fix
It seems like these Beeper people would have been better off collecting bug bounties from Apple. -
Uber Eats driver robbed at gunpoint, thieves return Android phone
I don't think Santos or Menendez committed any carjackings, vehicle thefts, or assaults with dangerous weapons in DC. I suppose it’s an open question with Menendez since he was found with gold bars traced from a robbery.BlueLightning said:Also was interesting to read of decrease in several types of crime in DC. Maybe because of high-rollers (at expense of constituents) like Santos won't be ripping off their campaign contributors (and being easy marks)? There are still MANY wealthy lobbyists to target. 😇
