Best in class doesn't mean best in spec. They're relatively best for quality and longevity. My '12 rMBP has the best keyboard and trackpad on the market, there is no laptop that is better than this and these features are what

I don't think it's that big of a deal. You can still right-click to open the unsigned app and let it run, which to me is a better option than setting the option to Anywhere as I still want to see the prompt for unsigned apps. In a

If you're going to include 2 OSes for iOS because it includes iOS 8 at <8%, then you have to include Jelly Bean at 7-8% as well, which means its 4 Android verions vs. 2 iOS versions. If you exclude Jelly Bean, then excluding iOS 8,

Pretty sure it's always been the light theme with tvOS. The previous aTV 3rd gen was dark theme yes but it isn't the same OS as on 4th gen. We'll see on Monday.

Does anyone know how to check if the patent was later invalidated? I thought I've seen some of the patents mentioned in the lawsuit rendered invalid by the patent office later.

For now, we don't have to but that is in the balance right now. Apple hasn't won in both fights against FBI, the cases were dropped because FBI found a working method to break into the devices. That's just the FBI, the NSA ha

1. What about NSA and some of their efforts revealed via Snowden's leaks? No one knew for years and many companies were prevented from releasing information via the secret gag orders. 2. FBI refuses to reveal their methods of breaking

Who do you trust then? 1. USA is just as worse, it's not better than China. So, you wouldn't use any US-created services either. 2. Nearly all hardware products with firmwares are created in China, would you stop using these prod

You nearly got it, it is being "hand-stitched" but with lasers. It's the way the chips are etched with lasers (patterning) that is driving most of the costs. The lasers have a limit of how small it can get and the smaller the

No one "needs" any of the Apple products or just any electronics in general. "Want", however, is a different story. All of my family members "want" an Apple Watch but they have no needs for it. They never had a

I don't think they have any plans to fix it, they're just going to integrate some of its technology into the new Calls feature in Slack that's been available for a while now. I actually prefer Slack's Calls than any othe

Encryption is already widespread, with WhatsApp alone just enabled p2p encryption to 1b users. Full disk encryption has been around for 20 years. There's nothing anyone can do about this, you cannot hinder encryption, it is just pure m

I get what they were trying to do but this isn't an issue with Webkit/browsers. It's simply an iOS process (swcd) responsible for the deep-linking running out of memory processing a bad huge file stored on the website.

That's because it is nearly the same as WebKit Nightly but with a few things included that WebKit Nightly can't include such as iCloud sync. Apple already explained on the same page as the OP link: > You may already be familiar

That's actually intentional, this is not supposed to carry over the current Safari configuration. If you want that, you might as well keep using WebKit Nightly, which reuses your Safari stuff.

I like the concepts presented here but I cannot shake off the feeling that OS X is pretty much never going to get the love it deserves from Apple. Apple will just keep improving iOS to be more powerful, more flexible and so on. The iPad Pro

The article doesn't go into details as to why Apple should be doing anything with VR that isn't a) a proven technology nor is it b) anything more than a fad. I've heard of the same thing being said about 3D TV, it quickly die

Relevant for "on the ground web devs", which is a very small market. Safari will remain relevant for a long time as long as it is the default browser on OS X and iOS. I prefer Safari and don't care much for 6-week release cyc

When asked about this, Intel said the reason they didn't support it before was because there were issues with hot-plugging the externally cases, it would cause all sorts of issues in the OS and drivers.

Intel formally announced support for eGPUs when they revealed TB3. Everyone can do eGPUs now via USB-C that uses TB3 via alt mod protocol. Razor was the first one to support this a few months ago with their Blade ultrabook. Sadly, they are
