Actually thinking about it...if Apple did a force touch to wake it could be pretty awesome. So a light press would turn on the screen on low brightness, slowly building up as you increase pressure. Let go and it turns off, commit to the pre

Somehow, I think Apple probably thought about this before making a change to their flagship phone. They have many options, including making the "tap" a force touch. So requiring a certain amount of pressure before actually turning

For what? iPad 2?

I have a feeling we are going to see a bigger push for development work on the iPad this upcoming year. Xcode 9 took a huge chunk from the iPad Swift Playgrounds app (mainly the new source editor.) Being able to edit storyboards and wire up

Yeah, that seems like it would be the best way, at least until they get 3D Touch on an iPad. On the iPhone you move the cursor with a light 3d touch on the keyboard, then can start a selection by pressing down harder.

Mazda owner here. Still waiting for they mythical CarPlay/Android auto update that will supposedly come to 2014 and up models. They are using the same infotainment system in 2017 models so I'm still holding out hope.

I think the issue is that the rate we pay people at has not grown much at all, but the cost of living has skyrocketed (Especially housing.) Also education requirements for specialized jobs have increased, and if you fail to use your degree

And what would be the point of a decal/video screen designed to trick people (Autonomous or not) into rear-ending your van? That said I do agree with the premise of the article, in order to beat humans cars will need more sensors. As h

The problem is the customer paying $4+ a serving won't find that acceptable. A school won't care if a few $0.50 cartons are dented in a shipping crate of over a hundred milk cartons, but a customer that gets a dented $5 drink is g

Milk cartons delivered to a school can be in a crate of hundreds, Soylent is delivered to a single person in a box of 12 or so. A few cartons being damaged in the school delivery is fine, but even one damaged in the Soylent delivery means a

Yeah, the random, terrible requirements of some sites is what will keep me on 1password. Yes, if I was specifically targeted I'm sure my accounts will be compromised, but the thing is I am not really concerned about that - the bigger p

We are still talking $35k-$100k, in essence, the exact same price range that BMW lives in.

I think they have plenty of influence just using the power of showing/not showing people specific things.

Probably, but in using it on my iPad it is my biggest annoyance. If they don’t keep the swipe up to close they should at least have a drag to rearrange. The reason I want to be able to remove it is because I usually have a few things going

You mean like we have every day already? Human drivers constantly make mistakes, and in many cases they aren't even aware of it or their affect on the drivers around them. Most don't cause an accident, but the behavior doesn'

Our vision and persistent world model are good, but all humans are overconfident in their ability to drive in poor conditions (or even normal conditions, for many people.) A computer isn't going to look down at a text message on their

I like the idea, but I find the site a bit confusing. What is a "pre-subscription"? Are people paying their suggested monthly fee up front? It says that the site makes money from the first three months, so when you sign up are you

I agree, the one thing I was hoping for with the new 10.5" and other iPad announcements was some sort of indirect cursor input for the Smart Keyboard. It doesn't even need to be a full trackpad, even just a nub would work - the id

Yeah, these aren't forced decisions. The driving mode is opt-in the first time.

Apple added a new depth api that gives real time information from the dual cameras. I’d be surprised if ARKit doesn’t use it to enhance the experience on the 7 Plus. That said, it isn’t required. I have run the demo on my own iPad...the tra

So then use Unity with ARKit and wait for an equivalent android AR library. I’ve looked into ARKit myself already - it is dead simple to get started. And so much data is already provided, including scale and lighting estimates. Yes, you los

Yes that exists, but you are wrong about the permission requirement. CLVisit is meant to be a lower power alternative to always tracking, but still requires the same “always” permission: https://developer.apple.com/documenta

To put it into context - the iPhone 5 was in competition with the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Nexus at launch.

If not looking so well is still being number 25 in the top grossing charts on iOS months after release, I want to be not looking so well. Yes, it is no where near what it was at launch, but that is because the launch stats were astronomical

I wonder when this was actually added, maybe it is getting ready for an actual release in iOS 11 later this year.

I think it is just the environment. We grew up with computers. Technology is advancing at a crazy rate compared to what it was 100 years ago. The idea of things constantly changing just didn't exist...because things generally didn&#x27

But what things other than flash drives (Who even uses those anymore) have ports built in? I have a USB-C -> USB 3.0 mini-b cable that I use for my external hard drives that cost me about $5.

by jclardy 9y ago
Not really, if they replaced either mini-DP or the surface charging port. I have a 4k monitor with a USB hub and it connects via USB-C. So I can just plug in one cable for power, video, keyboard and mouse. On the surface that means three ca

I like the concept. But the box is too large and the projector output doesn't seem to be enough. I have a 3M Streaming projector which is 60 lumens, this Sony product is 100. The 3m is not usable at all with any normal lamp on, dayligh

Wow, that means they really jacked up the price this year. My SP4 was pen included. $1060 for the m3 model with a pen and type cover.
