i hope the public win vs apple so that the indeed stop "seeks to prevent Apple from continuing this practice" of deception and also of
"The iPhone X Product is advertised as having 2436×1125 pixels, but in fact does not use true pixels with red, green, and blue subpixels in each pixel," the complaint states. "Instead, the Product has only false screen pixels, with just two subpixels per false pixel."

Oh, for God's sake!
Define "pixel".
Is it, as you say, "a thing with a red, a green, and a blue dot"
Or is it (as the rest of the entire world says) "the smallest unit of a digital image or graphic that can be displayed and represented on a digital display device".
Just because 70-year-old CRT TV pixels had red, green, and blue dots does not mean that the technology cannot be improved upon.
I am absolutely not a fan of apple (which is obvious to anyone who's been around here a while), but there is p1ss-all wrong with the screens on their hand-held devices -- whether they're stuck using 1960s technology or more up-to-date and sophisticated kit.
This lawsuit is a disgrace, as are most lawsuits involving computer-tech companies.

Reminds me of the monitor lawsuit where manufacturers were counting the overscan area in their diagonal measurement. Trying to find the actual size was difficult.
It sounded trivial but it was false advertising.

Very few animals have ever passed the mirror test for self-recognition — even most primates fail it. The news that a fish seemed to recognize itself in one recent study has made psychologists and animal behaviorists wonder anew what (if anything) the mirror test proves. Fine I'll say it if no one else will. Maybe it's just a smart fish.

I wouldn't put too much stock by this report. Could turn out to be a red herring.

It was used to its own reef-lection?
(The self recognition test has always been problematic as it is biased to animals that a sight-centric. Animals that rely on scent or aural clues cannot easily be fooled by a mirror)

The latest test flight by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic successfully rocketed to the edge of space and back. To infinity ... Wait. To the edge of space ... and back!

Back in 2015, Microsoft said it would build OpenSSH, a set of utilities that allow clients and servers to connect securely, into Windows, while also making contributions to its development. I guess it's just the OpenSSH in you that brings out the man in me.

Tumblr is back in the App Store. Apple pulled the app from iTunes in November, and it was reportedly due to the presence child exploitation photos on the platform. As if millions of apps cried out to be downloaded and were met with silence.

Today, Google shared information about some of the AI work it's doing in Asia, but in a blog post about the work, it also made a pretty clear statement about how its facial recognition technology will and won't be used for the time being. Somewhere, someone already has my facial profile. I hope they think I'm pretty.

Robinhood is undercutting the big banks by forgoing brick-and-mortar branches with its new zero-fee checking and savings account features. I'm going to try to get my money from the bank and they're going to tell me it's in Joe's house, and in the Kennedy house.

Apparently, after regulators pointed out serious problems with their plan, Robinhood changed their minds.

Our goal with this new experience is to provide rapid access to the most common ways that developers get to their code: whether it’s cloning from an online repository or opening an existing project. It's not just a bunch of new icons!

Now, they need to add a huge icon reading "Turn Off This Sh*t"

Since most of these people at Microsoft have nothing to do than collect the paycheck ... ya way to go with touching and retouching stuff that other people build and was working... it must be a rosey job being a Program Manager at MSFT...

Double clicking on MyCurrentProject.sln has always done the job for me.
Can't they spend their time sorting out the crappy text search in SSMS instead?
