Cars with built-in CarPlay services and radios that are compatible with CarPlay are both expected this year.

I hope you can turn off all the translucent shit in OSX. I'm sure it will look better than M$'s attempt but it's totally unnecessary.

So wait, I can have my Spotify widget on new iOS, what looks like swype for texting and I can drag and drop photos to and from an iPhone?

I don't even give a fuck that they blatantly stole everything good from Android, I am seriously considering a 5S now if that's what I'll get to have in the future.

Likewise, they're solving a lot of the niggling issues I had with iOS. Now just need to see the new handsets

This move will probably keep the bulk of Apple fans from switching but fat chance converting people from Android to iOS with this move

Ab · 6th June 2014, 15:34

The linked article is an example of this form of tech journalism:

Quote:

APPLE TO DO $THING

It's plainly obvious to everyone that Apple is about to do $thing, which will be a disaster. More evidence that Apple is doomed.

Here are some pictures of an Apple product.

Now imagine them different.

Now take those imaginary pictures of a hypothetical Apple product that exists only in your head, and ooga booga mumbo jumbo, Apple is doomed.

[Update: after publishing this article and spamming it across the Internet we reached out to Apple for comment and have received no response. Upon further investigation we can find no evidence that Apple plans to do $thing. In fact it's pretty obvious that we just made this all up. However we will leave this article live on the Internet in its original form. Because ad revenue.]

Isn't Forbes supposed to be fairly reputable?

"Worse still, the switch to Lightning headphones is likely to be mandatory."

Because:
1. speculation
2. conjecture

wat.

Cool. Now, is what similar to Airdroid?

Or are you recommending Airdroid to me as a means to copy files to and from an Android in a really roundabout way? :P

Future iOS 8 update from Apple might let you customize Control Center options

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Futur...ptions_id56963

Quote:

Now, an internal menu in iOS 8 reveals that users will eventually get the opportunity to customize the order of the items in the Control Center. In addition, users will also get to decide exactly which features are included in the short cut and which are not.

That's cute. LOLZ

I personally just run a small SFTP server on my cell .. static DHCP assignment.

Added a small job to my file server:
(short version minus details)
When X exists sync Y to Z via SFTP. Bidirectional replication .. no worries.

Took 5 minutes.

Um, unless its official ipee no one actually cares especially if its Apple because its all pure speculation. Customisable control center is hardly ground breaking anyway.
