this probably just means wifi implementations on apple devices will support more of the optional cisco wifi poo poo on the client side that make wifi slightly less lovely

yes, like better wifi AP migration as you walk and talk down the hallway, and not being forever stuck on 2.4 GHz if that's the only signal you were able to get when you first looked at your phone in the parking lot. wifi is a poo poo protocol that has no features to support extended coverage and handoff. Cisco has a lot of features to try to fix that, but they work much better with a device that's aware of them and playing along.

so apple will just put h.265 support in their devices then google, netflix, etc will end up using it or their content will run like trash on it?

the only reason iPhones don't do everything in h.265 is because your dumb desktop won't be able to play them.

Why it's not OK for Apple to Photoshop a woman to make her smile during a live event
http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-photoshopped-a-womans-smile-2015-9

quote:

the audience applauded, Twitter erupted as many onlookers questioned Apple's decision to include that demo in the presentation.

There are plenty of arguments about why people should stop telling women to smile. Some women consider it a form of harassment — a phrase that they hear barked to them aggressively as they walk down the street.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/09/09/apple_event_adobe_manipulates_a_photo_of_a_woman_to_make_her_smile.html

quote:

Unfortunately for Apple, putting the right bodies on a stage won’t do much to allay accusations of sexism if women aren’t making decisions backstage, too. Watching the Adobe demonstrator make his subject grin would likely induce flashbacks in any woman who’s ever been asked by a stranger to contort her face into a shape that better pleases the men who have to look at her. The next time Adobe wants to show off its latest apps on a photo of a woman, it’d be better off giving her a set of bloody fangs instead.

"Even in years when Apple isn’t taking the really big swings, like an entirely new product category or service, its control over the levers of both hardware and software allow it to iterate in more meaningful and important ways than anyone else."

I bet nilay is starting to regret the re/code tie up now if he didn't already

there is no engineering solution to stupidity.
