On the show this week @erfon / @bst3r / @lkahney / [email protected] Intro - Young Bill Gates, thoughts on the Macintosh https://youtu.be/37VaLvjw-3s?t=19s Netflix to add offline viewing by the end of 2016 http://www.cultofmac.com/435021/netflix-to-add-offline-viewing-by-the-end-of-2016/
- Netflix is working to bring offline viewing to its smartphone and tablet apps by the end of 2016, according to sources familiar with its plans.
- Netflix rival Amazon Prime Instant Video added this functionality last September
- Now industry insider and Penthera COO Dan Taitz promises that “download-to-go” will be available by the end of the year.
- Penthera specializes in providing video downloading technology to customers like Comcast, Charter Communications, and more.
- [Apple] they do fancy themselves to be a real watch company. And as a real watch company everything you’re going to see is going to be San Fransisco. Now they could enforce that for third-parties possibly.
- Any analog dial is going to use those Apple-styled hands. The capsule-shaped hands. And watch companies typically have things like that. For example, the hands on a Rolex are instantly recognizable. In the dials are unmistakably Rolex-styled dials. And Apple fancies itself as a high end watch company.
- New photos of what are claimed to be Apple’s next-generation EarPods all but confirm that its iPhone 7 series will ship without the beloved headphone jack.
- The new EarPods, which surfaced on Chinese micro-blogging website Weibo, swap the 3.5mm jack we’ve been using for decades for a Lightning connector.
- A Florida man is suing Apple for a whopping $10 billion and 1.5 percent of all future Apple earnings — because he claims to have come up with the idea for Apple’s breakthrough mobile device all way back in 1992.
- Thomas S. Ross’ “electronic reading device” patent describes a “device so designed and aggregated as to have created a novel combination of media and communication tools,”
- He claims this idea (allegedly) to have been “hijacked and exploited by Apple’s iPhones, iPods, iPads and others.”
- The suit finally argues that the distress Ross has suffered as a result of seeing his iPhone everywhere without the proper credit being bestowed on him adds up to a “great and irreparable injury that cannot fully be compensated or measured in money.”
- In the meantime, though, he’s happy to take $10 billion — plus the barely-significant sum of 1.5 percent of all future Apple earnings. It’s only right, isn’t it?
