Going to be very interesting to see how they go about implementing this. So much is different about the UI of Mac Os and iOS, that I'm guessing at the very least you'll need different views for each platform.

That'll be because Windowserver now uses Metal 2 to render UI, so if Apple's claims that it's 10x faster than Metal 1, then that's probably where the UI performance improvements have come from.

What ever happened to the 2nd wave that security experts were warning about, without the kill-switch code? Haven't heard any reports of this being found in the wild yet. Anyone else?

All pretty trivial stuff compared to the massive positive impact the products he oversaw and introduced to the world have had. Mac and iPhone literally changed the world as we know it. Without him, home computing would be very different tod

Steve Jobs, thinking about his passing still makes me emotional. Damn, I miss that guy.

Will be interesting to see what product categories they enter in the future. Currently they have cars and batteries, but there's got to be a good change they're planning on entering a new product category soon. Any thoughts on wha

Complete hyperbole. I'm using an iPhone 5S with iOS 10 and it seems just as fast as the day I bought it.

One thing I find surprising is that most geeks seem to be all for Self-Driving cars, yet are heavily against government surveillance. Yet self-driving cars are not only going to offer up much more surveillance data, but also offer a potenti

This is nice and great that it loads quickly with no bloat or distractions. Not sure about the domain name though, as it's not immediately obvious what the site is for.

Backblaze is such a great company. Not only do they offer almost unlimited backup for just $5 a month, they also publish extremely useful articles such as this one. Good to see Seagate has improved the quality of its product significantly,

I think a big part of the deterioration of musical quality is connected to three major factors: 1. Recorded music has meant less need for such large numbers of musicians, as a result the pool of potential talent is lower. Much less live mus

Third-ed. Contrast way too low. Why not use #000000 for the background color? Everything just looks washed out as it stands and almost has the effect of making everything look disabled. How about something closer to this? http://

Surely it can't be doing anything in the background if you use the task manage to kill the app? If so, uninstallation isn't the only option in order to save battery life.

They've used the DCI 4K resolution standard as the basis for their 4k screen, which is defined as 4096 x 2160 at 16:9 aspect ratio. This screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio, thus 4096/16*9 = 2304, the vertical resolution on the 4K iM

So, not only 4k pixels on the iMac 21", but also 25% improvement in colour gamut. This screen should look fantastic!

Ah, the 60s, what a time to be alive. I was born in the 70s, sadly.

Just not sure how many people care that much about their health/fitness, to want to buy a device to monitor it constantly. I can see it as a possible/likely feature of an iWatch, but is that really such a compelling reason to buy

That's a much more obvious way of doing away with someone though. Having a car experience a 'software failure' and driving you into a wall at 80MPH, is less so.

Given that the NSA will likely have a backdoor into any automated driving system, is this really a technology you'd like to see become all pervasive? "We don't like this guy's ideology - ok, let's arrange for him t
