I would give Apple a little room on this one. Yes, it does look like 1984 all over again but I think the application is “your aging and living alone mother or father”.
Or, it could be 1984, Apple-style.
No difference anymore. One man's hammer is another man's bludgeon.
BFD - I’m back to cycling so I’m going to use this app, if/when I go to the 6.
Prolefeed, from 1984, is all around us already; and Apple has nothing to do with it.
The context as I read the post is “forced” participation. In that vein, anything like this Apple might require is BS. I’d have none of it.
I gave up wearing a watch mostly because I had the time on the mobile phone I carried. I also like to be able to wifi to the internet to keep up with things here. Beyond that, I really don’t need Apple for sh!t other than as a good efficient product. The moment it starts being other than that, I’ll drop it like a bad habit and not look back.
It’s more like you patent everything and then maybe it might be used in the future. Apple has said this before (about ideas) ... that they will have a thousand no’s and one yes.
This one sounds like one of the thousand no’s ... LOL ...
But in any case they have to keep their people “brainstorming”!
Probably been mentioned already, but it appears these are user settings. You have to set the requirement yourself. The article did a poor job explaining it, in any case.
