Medical ID apple at DuckDuckGo. - The Washington Post. Are you a robot? Apple, the iPhone, and the Innovator’s Dilemma.

Last August I switched my entire digital life from an Apple MacBook Pro 15 to a first generation iPad Pro 12.9–and I never looked back.
A few days ago, Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage of the Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn to announce new iPad Pros and declare that Apple’s tablet was actually the best-selling computer ever. Many people laughed at that idea. I didn’t. The iPad has been my only computer for three months now, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m able to do everything I used to do with my MacBook on my 12.9-inch iPad Pro. To be clear, the iPad Pro isn’t perfect. Why a Helium Leak Disabled Every iPhone in a Medical Facility.

As an assistant US Attorney for northern California, Kathryn Haun peered into some of the darkest corners of the cryptocurrency world.
Among her greatest hits were the prosecution of a pair of rogue federal agents who were stealing bitcoin while investigating the illicit marketplace Silk Road in 2015, and settling a criminal investigation into Ripple later that same year. Those were uncertain times for the cryptocurrency world. It was associated with black-market drugs through Silk Road and the meteoric rise—and just as sudden collapse—of the Tokyo-based Mt. Gox exchange. Haun, who goes by Katie, became the point person for all things cryptocurrency in the US government, heading the first cross-agency task force on the industry.

Swipe Those iOS 7 Safari Tabs Away [iOS Tips.

See Timestamps For iMessages In iOS 7 Beta [iOS Tips. In previous versions of iOS, the date and time stamps of iMessages you sent and received were printed right in the app, above the iMessages they pertained to. Not so in iOS 7, with only a date stamp showing up at the top of each segment of messages that come in on a particular day. If you want to know what time those messages came in or were sent, it looked as if you were out of luck. But wait! There’s more! Turns out that you can, in fact, see a time stamp for every message in the Messages app. To see when you sent or received those iMessages, simply launch your Messages app with a tap, and then find the Message thread you want to look at. iWatch Rumors And Reports. Mac Buyer's Guide: Know When to Buy Your Mac, iPod or iPhone.
Why the iPhone 6—not the iWatch—is Apple’s biggest launch this year. While new gadget categories—such as the supposedly forthcoming “iWatch”—could fetch Apple plenty of attention this year, and take some pressure off CEO Tim Cook, the bulk of its growth is more likely to come from a familiar source: The iPhone, which will be 7 years old this weekend.
For some perspective on this, former Apple executive Jean-Louis Gassée wrote this week, “The most ambitious rumors project 50 million iWatches sold in the first 12 months. I think that’s an unrealistic estimate, but if a $300 iWatch can sell at these numbers, that’s $15B for the year. This seems like a huge number until you compare it to a conservative estimate for the iPhone: 50 million iPhones at $650 generates $32B per quarter.”
Over the past several years, the iPhone has generated more than half of Apple’s revenue and likely more of its profits. The iPhone also drives a disproportionate amount of Apple’s growth. Apple's Next Hit Will Be a Microsoft Clone. If you were disappointed with Apple's low-key, same-but-better pitch for the new iPad yesterday, take heart: as it did with cell phones, Apple is just buying time until its next big imitative leap. Samsung debuted its first, much maligned and hugely successful Galaxy Note -- the first phone with a bigger-than-5-inch screen -- in September, 2011. For two years afterwards, Apple was content to present incremental improvements to the iPhone. Compared with the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5s just added a fingerprint sensor and an improved camera (plus a few other features that most consumers didn't care about).
Meanwhile Apple carefully observed the "phablet" market, watched other handset makers follow Samsung's example and erode its market share, and experimented with ways to make a big phone easier to navigate one-handed. It struck just when Samsung started posting lower profits, because of the increased competitive pressure. Why iOS updates look small in size but require more than 10x storage capacity.
