On second thought: they auto-write content for Amazon's fiction departments by ripping stories from the headlines and automatically changing names and places so they won't get sued.
What do they have? The only thing that had in the H.264 patent pool was a token patent relating to the QuickTime container format (which is why that became the standard container format for MPEG-4). That's probably expiring soon, if it hasn't already, and I haven't seen much CODEC R&D from Apple in the last decade.
ProRes 4444 XQ - oh, wait, that's not for people pirating movies(*), so it obviously doesn't count.
The OP didn't mention OpenGl. The comparison is metal to vulkan. Vulkan is an industry standard. Metaql is just not going to get much game support.
Ohh, maybe he wanted to compare it to something that actually existed when Metal was first shipping, not something that only was announced half a year later.
It's actually quite a bit more insidious than anything Apple has done.
Microsoft: Uses standard manufacturing process that just so happens to make a device a bitch to open and impossible to re-close without a standard manufacturing device.
Apple: Creates a non-standard screw with no technical manufacturing advantages for the sole purpose of preventing 3rd parties from opening their device. Uses trademark and patent law to protect the design. Sues producers of the tools to prevent them from falling into the hands of repairers.
You must have been smoking some seriously good stuff to have come up with your sentence. At least MS's design had a technical and manufacturing advantage. But you are right about one thing, the bias is ridiculous. Fuck Apple.
Ifixit must have been smoking the same thing, because they scored all Apple products with the evil screw with at least a "2" and even up to a "7" repairability, and the saintly glued Microsoft product a big fat "0".
But sure, you can pretend that what Microsoft Microsoft did was using a standard manufacturing process - just that pretty much nobody ever uses it that way unless he wants to prevent you from trying to get inside that device. You can also pretend that not using any screws is more standard than using a "non-standard" screw where you you can get drivers for at hundred's of places.
You really need to take at least one.. or two Xanax and come back to the keyboard in a couple of days.
Peace out.
You need to take a look at the last one, because unlike the others it pretends that it's only Apple, right? That's the primary reason you have to look at that one article.
It's NeXTStep, an ancient broken derivative of BSD but with a different kernel. They did port in a bundle of "real" FreeBSD userland stuff that was current in about 1999 to shore things up. It's not a modern Net/Free/OpenBSD by any stretch of the imagination.
It could be worse: unlike Linux, it's at least a real UNIX.
Is it: "But Slashdot has already had the same story hook every couple of months since it exists?" Or is it " If you are a Windows user, you should be aware of new variants of malware that have been created specifically to target Windows computers"? Or maybe "But that means I don't have to worry about Raspberry Pi malware any more, right?"
Arguing that the US must shutter so-called clean coal-fired plants so that China, India, and others may build dirty coal plants to 'save the planets' is a lie.
Nope, the lie is "clean" coal vs. "dirty" coal. Stop pretending.
Yeah but the US cumulative emissions per capita to date is still 10x China emissions. Touche!
Odd, I thought the issue was the amount of greenhouse gasses are pumped into the atmosphere, not WHO pumps it or how much EACH person is responsible for in a given nation...
Why should it be who produces the CO2, and not who consumes the goods whose production releases the CO2 - and is such responsible for the CO2 production? China wouldn't produce that much CO2 if countries like the US hadn't moved production of their consumer goods there, while e.g. the US would produce more.
Just cause Hillary didn't win doesn't mean that Goldman Sachs is done screwing with the market. Those guy's are just going to have to cough up the cash to keep them happy. Or volatile stocks will stay volatile.
Well, considering they are running the Trump administration's financial branch, that's no surprise. Despite what Trump said about them during the campaign.
I have heard a lot of chicken-littles voice both of these opinions:
1. Robots/AI are going to steal all the jobs, and all the wealth will go to capital.
Well, AI took the jobs of stock analysts, and automatically sold a lot of high tech stocks because some cash-in trade triggered that.
I'm just going to point out that the fact that a typo has made national headlines shows just how truly pathetic you bunch are.
And the fact that Spicer says it wasn't a typo, and that “The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant” tells us what about you? That you are un-American? That you are not important enough for Trump to tell you what it means? And who the hell are these "people" - the Russians?
I understand the point of the ruling, and that the court decided (it seems, on the basis of its opinion rather than strict law) that the privacy of a minor exists even against her parents. That ruling and that opinion is wrong. If the law does agree with the court, the law be damned.
Well, I'm sorry you don't like the right to privacy. So don't move to Germany and stay in the US, where there is no right to privacy.
A) If the Sun says such a game exists, it doesn't.
B) If the parents think their daughter's Facebook account "possibly incriminates someone who encouraged that person to commit suicide", they should tell the police. Heck, them getting access to it could taint the evidence.

What else is "Mixed Reality" supposed to mean? They add alternative facts to mostly factual stories.
Apple owns some essential HEVC patents

Also, of course Apple released Metal long before Vulkan was announced
FTFY.

He said 800 millihertz. That's a clock cycle of .8 seconds.
WTF? No, it isn't, it*s 1.25 seconds.

Don't forget Apple's commission on all of those sales, which is yuuuuge. Apple is a willing participant in these scams.
Yeah. Of course Google also makes 30% on all in-app scams on the Playstore. This adds up.

I have a Newton. It's battery compartment is a dismal failure.
Gee, yes, Replaceable batteries are a dumb idea after all.
And Trump University, and Trump Vodka, and Trump Steaks, and ...
What does changing lobbying rules for executive branch employees have to do with individual cabinet appointees?
What do you think "Drain the Swamp," as a campaign pledge, referred to? I mean specifically?
Well, you obviously think creating a whole new swamp under Trump's control is okay with hat campaign pledge...
So your point is: as long as a country can benefit from polluting, the USA should be that country, MAGA!
What is mainstream? Fox News is the most watched news network and they are definitely not left wing.
Of course if all you watch is FOX News, you'll never learn about their ratings drop. Failing Faux News would never report on that.

My guess is he's a fan of Little Britain. He just spelled "Kerfuffle" like he pronounces it.

People like you, who breed children just so they can violate the privacy of others make me sick.

Not if it possibly incriminates someone who encouraged that person to commit suicide. Recent example is the Blue Whale suicide game:

Looks like Facebook is trying to dodge a lawsuit.
