iOS relies on a fixed resolution. That's why when they increased resolution on the iPhone and iPad, they had to do it by doubling the resolution. It was the only way to insure that apps written with the old resolution would still display properly. Basically they have the same problem with old apps on high-PPI screens as Windows does. (Ironically, Android does support arbitrary scaling based on PPI. So Android is more more like MacOS and OS X in this respect than iOS is.)
iOS supports at least 6 different resolutions: iPhone 4, iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus and Ipads. What are you talking about ?
An iOS-based laptop may suit the needs of the casual user (browser, facebook, office apps). But it's totally unsuitable for graphics/photo/video professionals.
it will effect people in vulnerable areas or in poorer countries bad
I don't think it will be as mild as you put it to be. I think it'll mean basically the end of society as we know it and we will most likely have the biggest wars we've ever had. A simple - but rather harsh - drought in Syria brought us ISIS and arguably brexit and Trump all in one swipe.
12k years ago, England was under 3 to 6 meters of solid ice. The temperature was just 5 degrees C below the average temp in the 80s. That's not a mild change that will affect people in vulnerable areas. That's fucking apocalypse. And that's a 5 degrees change in temp.
We're pretty much "en route" for a +2 degree change if we divide by three all of our emissions by 2100. Which will not happen, let's be realistic. We're not talking 20% reduction here, but 70%. So we're most likely en route for a much bigger change. This will disrupt all life as we know it on earth.
Apparently you don't know how VAT works. Hint: corporations don't pay VAT, they merely collect it. Besides, only the last retailer in the chain collects VAT, it doesn't apply in B2B transactions.
It doesn't matter who pays the tax. It's the end user in all cases. Whether Apple sells it's phone $1000 and pays the govt $150 or sells its phone $850 and the user pays the govt $150 makes no difference other than semantically.
You mean the VAT that's attached to the products that the person buying it pays? If you think the company pays VAT then look again.
Who pays it makes no difference. Every time a $1000 iPhone is sold, there is $150 going to the state. Period. This is Apple generating it.
If just having VAT attached to a product is enough then why does any company that sells things have to pay?
It's a very good question. And it doesn't have a single answer. Usually (I don't know for NZ specifically) VAT represents ~50% of a state income. They are *very* hard to circumvent.
Taxes on companies profit represent about 10-15%. So they are less important by a huge factor. But of course they apply to companies that make profit. Apple NZ doesn't. As you can see, they are trivial to circumvent for a multi-national company.
It seems that NZ GST, although collected by the seller, is considered to be paid by the consumer.
What is the difference? If I shell out $1000 for an iPhone, who cares if I got Apple $1000 and they paid $150 to the govt or if I got $150 to the govt and $850 to Apple. It's the same in the end.
Come on. Politicians will willfully leave holes in the laws for themselves and their friends. It's no wonder there are holes everywhere for everyone to get in. Tax the revenue, not the benefits and this scheme will go away. Which is what VAT taxes are doing in a way. But all this is ridiculous and misleading. The title says "Apple Paid $0 In Taxes To New Zealand, Despite Sales of $4.2 Billion" but Apple pays VAT like everyone else, hence 15% GST leads me to think that they paid 630 millions in taxes, which is quite far from 0 you will admit.
And yet most individuals pay more income tax than Apple.
That's just because you just forget to count the billions in VAT that Apple NZ is paying the government. So if in your mind "Apple pays no taxes", in reality they pay a heck of a lot more than most companies.
The thing that is slow with JavaScript is and has always been the DOM. WebAssembly will not fix that. So your program that ran in 2 seconds, 200ms of which were JavaScript and 1.8 seconds the DOM will now run in 1.9 seconds. Meh.
JavaScript is not an absolutely terrible language. It's actually a pretty good one with a lot of useful stuff. Sure, there are bad parts, nobody denies that, but every language has bad pieces that put it to shame under scrutiny.
All phones sold in the EU must be usb. "All mobile phones in EU to have the same charger: European Parliament votes on law in attempt to cut down electronic clutter.

iPhone chargers are regular USB chargers with which you can recharge your Samsung phone if you feel like it. So no, all phones in the EU do not have to be USB. But they HAVE TO be able to recharge off of a USB charger, and the USB charger provided must be able to charge other devices.
I guess that 100fps means every shot will have an aperture less than 1/1000th of a second, meaning it will only work in very bright setups. Still an impressive feat though.
I thought Cyanogen was open source? If there is so much traction, another player will pick up where Cyanogen left off and the whole thing will continue.
Right inside your article, it says that Trump would register ALL alien Muslims entering the country from specific countries. In my world, that miles away from registering all Muslims in the United States. But hey, what are facts, hmm?
Well, I've been listening for videos of Trump advocating for such a plan all day long, only to find out that there are loads of videos labelled "Trumps wants to track all muslims" but none of them actually have him say anything of the sort. So if you have a video or two for me, the kind that I didn't watch already to discover it is not what it is labelled to be, I'll take it.
Also, not ruling out something does not mean having plans to do it. For example, I'm not ruling out leaving my wife in the future. Yet, I have absolutely no plan to do it.
Also, banning all non US-citizen Muslims to enter the country is not the same thing as building a registry for all muslims, not even close actually.
So you see. You've given no evidence. Even the stuff you claim to have seen / heard would not be proof even if it was true. Proving something did not happen is impossible of course, so the burden of proof is on you. But we already know who is rationalizing stuff away now, do we?
Are you kidding? There are really zero alternatives if you want to travel that fast. You gotta take an airplane. A good old manual button inside a car gets anyone out easily and you've then got no risk of letting people die.

I'll sum-up your post: To force all breast-feeding mothers outside of public places is a non-issue.
Well, I beg to differ. If you're offended by nature, stay home and clse the shades. Let the mothers breastfeed wherever the fuck they want.

Right. Try to run a Java program on iOS.
While it's a step on the right direction, it's far from being universal.
Aren't the iPhone 7s already waterproof?
Yes they are. I don't know what these people are talking about.

And Apple fully comply to this.
So turn it off?
While you're using it, it could still be useful by providing notification while in "full screen" mode or shortcuts for commonly used apps / people.
You are right. We should use our phones as YOU see fit.

This. Fundamental research is never fruitless. Who knows what may come out of this?
We've learned that forming metallic Hydrogen takes conditions that make it likely impractical for any beneficial use. A tasty fruit indeed.
Not much of a scientise, he?
Exactly. Just like in audio, where you need 384kHz rate to capture the True Signal, Nyquist limit be damned.
And at least a 48bit resolution. Otherwise the dynamic range will be horrendous
Well I don't know what the problem is, then, but if I copy them into a text editor, save as UTF-8, and reopen... I get gibberish back.
Use an UTF-8 compatible text editor then.

Steganography and "security through obscurity" aren't the same thing at all...

What will be your solution be when your comm provider blocks "illegal" encryption?
Use steganography. If they believe it's not encrypted, they'll let it go through.
