If I were able, I would disable incoming telephone calls entirely (consider that a feature request, Apple). The phone system today is fundamentally untrustworthy because of caller ID spoofing, and the phone companies involved are culpable f

I disagree. It is possible to generate a wide variety of layouts using this and other purely declarative approaches. If producing a layout requires the use of "Turing-complete" semantics, then JavaScript is available for the purpo

Molds have a finite cycle count before parts go out of tolerance. A typical steel mold might have a million cycles, more complex and precise ones may be much less. At the volumes Lego delivers (~19 billion elements a year), I'd expect

That has been available for several years. iPhones 6 and above (for example) include "focus pixels", which is Apple-speak for PDAF. http://www.dailytech.com/iPhone+6s+Focus+Pixels+Are+Already+...

I'm out of the industry now, but one more intuitive option we implemented was to magnify pan rotations, such that a user only has to turn their head through 120º (tuneable) to turn a full 360º. Thus a seated user doesn't have to s

It's a shame that Open Scripting Architecture has languished. It let you write scripts to extend and connect applications on your Mac in very powerful ways, in any OSA language you choose (including Javascript). Unfortunately AppleScri

No idea. Actually the way this works in some players is a mouse drag acts as an analog stick, moving with proportionate speed the further you drag from the start. That's how QuickTime VR worked two decades ago and it seems we've r

Apple never owned Pixar. You may be conflating them with Steve Jobs, who did own a majority stake at the time of the sale.

It seems disingenuous to write an article extolling the benefits of JIT and self-modifying code without mentioning the security concerns of allowing anyone to change executable code.

Average household consumption is around 30-ish kWh / day, so an 85 kWh Tesla battery would give you almost 3 days. The question I have is why you would need to store more than a day's energy for your home, assuming you charge it w

This isn't a patent. It's a published patent application. Says so right on it. In fact, all US patent numbers that start with a year and month ("201302.....") are patent applications. Patent applications are published 18

Speculation, but this might be as simple as avoiding trademark infringement. In such case, releasing the product under new branding and avoiding use of "iBeacon" might be sufficient. If there are IP claims as well it may not be so

The downside of accessing the full sensor on the iPhone 5S is that image stabilization and rolling shutter compensation is not enabled. That functionality would need to be reproduced in software instead of the ISP hardware.

"who uses patents for anticompetitive purposes". So in other words, any party who uses patents for their intended purpose of granting a limited monopoly is a troll?

A (comically large) CHAdeMO to Tesla adapter will be available for about $1000. CHAdeMO has a maximum output of 500V/100A or 50 kW, whereas Tesla Superchargers are presently 120 kW. http://shop.teslamotors.com/collectio

Tesla uses a proprietary electrical plug. A J1772 adapter is included with their cars to charge at level 2 charging stations. A CHAdeMO to Tesla adapter is also available for about $1000. This means you cannot charge non-Tesla EVs at a supe

I've wondered if browsers couldn't reduce the paging distance by subtracting the height of header and footer regions on the page (as identified by position: absolute?). Something tells me it would not be so simple.

Cook astutely points out the category of "smartphones that function as or are used as feature phones", but the author's interpretation of this is quite naive. Yes, Android phones primarily make up this group, but they are als

I've found that lots of Windows converts haven't learned to use a thumb to hold the command key instead of a finger. Much easier to chord that way and you don't need to leave home position. It's easier for me than pinky-

A big difference with this over Google (or NSA for that matter) is the location history stays on your phone and isn't logged on a server.
