New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

re headphone lightning cable: could this be about healthkit? ie headphones being a thing you've often got draped around your neck taking your pulse and blood pressure and whatev. I guess they couldn't pass that info to the phone via the headphone jack, so if they're going to have to use a separate connection it makes sense to send everything through that rather than doubling up

or maybe jobs put something in his will about hearing the purple chick boot of abbey road in 48khz by 2015 idk

when when when will this magical breakthrough occur?

BTW in Hong Kong they are selling heartbeat watches for $30 that you can buy from a vending machine

iWatch is fucked imo

when when when will this magical breakthrough occur?

Whenever the iWatch finally comes out of whatever Manhattan Project lab it's in. A watch with a headphone jack looks ridiculous so of course there will have to be some sort of wireless earpod setup. Of course you want to be able to use iWatch with your stereo, so for $35 you can buy a Lightning-to-RCA/mini-jack adaptor, etc. etc. etc. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Why would you sully your iWatch with all these cables?

Forbes article seems needlessly histrionic and conspiratorial, but Apple's corporate legacy is all histrionics and conspiracies.

I can completely believe that

lol

feel like this point to the importance of hiring people who are tuned and and interested in the industry in general rather than just like good at their jobs, were i interviewing people id be all what blogs do u like who do u follow on twitter what do you think of these apps etc

a while ago there was a memo leaked from facebook urging their people to comment on facebook related stack overflow questions cause like no one was doing it, their whole haxor way thing revealed to be bs m/l

worst feeling as a developer is a job where you're implementing whatever your management or product designer told you to do and thinking "ain't nobody gonna use this"

on the bright side, it's really easy to support code no one uses

there are some truth bombs right there

sick design

love the way it rips your wrist hairs off

Only Apple

In re the phone size, having gone in and looked at phones yesterday I think there's just some kind of psychological effect from seeing all these bigger-screened phones that makes the iphone start to look puny. Also I find the 4s screen annoyingly small to read books on and I've increasingly been using my phone as an e-reader. So I think they're kind of forced to do a bigger screen or else risk customers being like "fuck it, I'm switching." At the same time some of the samsungs and htc's are stupidly large, and even the galaxy s5 felt too big in my hand.

I mean the 5/5s screen is bigger than the 4s obviously but it's a pretty small difference.

Uh, no. The 5.5 will be 38% larger than the current 4 inches. Math don't lie.

Is anyone here running iOS 8 on T-Mobile (US)? Amongst the new features in today's beta release is wi-fi calling, and that (along with unlimited music streaming) could push me away from Verizon, but only if it works well. My house is in a dead-zone valley where none of the carriers has a strong signal. How does the hand-off to cellular work if you leave home during a call?

http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/tampa-man-accused-of-scamming-apple-out-of-309768/2189776

A man ran up a $7,753.22 bill at an Apple store. When his debit card was declined, he pretended to call his bank. He gave the store clerk a fake authorization code to punch into the card reader. And that's how the man, 24-year-old Sharron Laverne Parrish Jr. of Tampa, scammed one of the biggest high-tech companies in the world — not once but 42 times — totaling $309,768, according to federal court records.

"fake authorization code"? you mean you can just make up some shit?

apparently, yes!

even less authentication than bank account routing numbers! impressive how dumb that is.

top notch banking security right there

nice reporting by our own jaymc

i bought one of those travel surge protector things. do i need it? maybe i shouldn't have. do you guys use them? (surge protectors in general, fuck the form factor)

the thing for me is electrical surges more than the whole let's see how many things we can plug in aspect of it, although that might come in handy too i guess

basically: is this something one can safely go without? how safely?

i was an english major, not an electrical engineering major

and i'm def a minimalist so if i can get away without it that might be nice

I've never used one and all my electronics have been fine when used while traveling

Guys I am on zing so it's hard to find and bump the iOS apps thread. I'm out of town and I need to edit a doc on my google drive for work. I've got the google drive, google docs and google sheets apps on my iPhone. The doc I need to edit from the road is all text, but some of the text is within tables and some isn't. The google docs app doesn't support editing of the text that's within the charts. I can only see them in view mode. Anyone know an alternate app that can handle this?

xpost what about when you're home?

I use them because I don't have enough outlets

I'm not sure if they protect my electronics from surges

I have a travel surge protector but only because it was a cheap multi country plug adaptor that will allow you to plug in 3 AC and 1 USB device which can be really useful in most hotel rooms. I'm pretty us reive never experienced a power surge, but if I have I've been protected.

ok thanks guys. i don't know if i'll get rid of mine but it'd be nice if i could

jon, i'm not sure as i don't use their stuff. do they have a web app?

if anyone knows something, plz help him out

Haha such an obvious solution, thanks! It didn't occur to me to log into my gmail account in the stupid ios safari browser instead of through the gmail app, and navigate to my google drive through there. Editing the google doc in iOS Safari lets me get into the tables as well as the regular text. These google apps need work if the browser is more effective than them...

np!
