Apple is getting flack for a security check in recent iPhone and iPad models that can disable all use of a device when it has been fixed by a non-Apple-certified repair person. Repairs to the home button on an iPhone or iPad, or even screen replacement—a relatively common procedure—can trigger the appearance of an “Error 53” message and disable any further usage. Apple says this error is the result of a security procedure that checks whether a Touch ID sensor in the home button—which enables fingerprint recognition—has been tampered with. “If iOS finds a mismatch, the check fails and Touch ID, including for Apple Pay use, is disabled,” Apple explained in a statement. “This security measure is necessary to protect your device and prevent a fraudulent Touch ID sensor from being used.” The risk is apparently that someone could tamper with the home button and circumvent the fingerprint ID system for unlocking a device or paying with it. That is reasonable, as John Gruber points out o...

A team of researchers from MIT introduced a new computer chip optimized for deep-learning, an approach to artificial intelligence that is gaining popularity. The chip, dubbed “Eyeriss” which was introduced two days ago could allow mobile devices to perform tasks like natural language processing and facial recognition without being connected to the internet. It’s the latest attempt to make the complex operations of machine learning more portable. That means that our smartphones, wearables, robots, self-driving cars, and other IoT devices could begin performing complex deep learning processes locally — something that until now has been very difficult to do. Deep learning has traditionally demanded large amounts of computer processing. GPUs, computer chips designed to render the graphics we see on our computer screens, are a good enough workhorse to handle the task. But GPUs come with a drawback: they suck up a ton a power. This makes them impractical to use for de...

1.Politics Even though the Bible says we should not judge others; personally speaking and generally summarizing, our politicians have little chances of making heaven. This is because the world of politics is a different world on its own where all sorts of atrocities are performed. One of my lectures, before he passed on, always said that an average politician is a looter and can kill to find his way to the top 2.Police We all know that the larger percent of our policemen are very cunning and dubious. They are always using devious ways to get money. Some of them will arrest innocent civilians on the streets and will force them to write report of guilt. To find a policemen who doesn’t accept bribe, is likened to finding the actual amount of money looted by GEJ during his tenure 3.NEPA Next in rank are NEPA officials. These ones share the same characteristics with our policemen. NEPA officials, who occupy top positions are always very rich. This is because they collect bribes a...

Technically, anxiety is apprehension over an upcoming event. We anticipate the future with sometimes scary predictions that don’t necessarily have any basis in truth. In everyday life, anxiety’s physical and emotional symptoms can mean an increased heart rate, poor concentration at work and school, sleeping problems, and just being a total Crankasaurus Rex to family, friends, and co-workers. Anxiety and stress are physical and emotional responses to perceived dangers (that aren’t always real). And since most of us aren’t running from tigers or hunting and gathering in the woods, it’s often the little things that put us over the edge: an over-loaded email inbox, morning rush hour, or losing those keys before running out the door. Luckily, it’s easy to beat this kind of stress with just a few easy changes added throughout the day. Note: If you feel like you might be dealing with a serious anxiety disorder, please talk to a medical professional about t...

Spanish Giant, Real Madrid retained their place at the summit of the world’s 20 richest football clubs for the 11th year in a row, having generated £439m, according to Deloitte Football Money League.

Real Madrid actually saw a £4.3m fall in broadcast revenue but significant gains in commercial revenue and matchday income made up for the loss. “It would not be surprising to see Manchester United top next year’s Money League for the first time in 12 years, with the club forecasting revenues of around £500m.” Tim Bridge, Senior Manager at Deloitte Real Madrid richest football club for 11th year running: Sky Sports ...

According to insiders familiar with Apple's plans, Apple Music is planning on improving the sound of its streamed music as soon as next year. The quality of the audio will exceed what can be heard using a headset plugged into a standard earphone jack. The latter can deliver analog music that provides the same audio quality as a CD. If as rumored, Apple eliminates the jack on the next iteration of the iPhone to make it water resistant and thinner, audio could benefit greatly. Apple is expected to route digital audio through the Lightning port, allowing listeners using headsets or earphones to enjoy studio- quality music. The audio will stream up to 96kHz/24bit. The Lightning port is said to support 192kHz/24 bit, so that is not going to be a problem. The question is whether Apple Music will be compatible with the faster streaming rates. Apple is hoping that offering Hi-Res Audio for Apple Music will lead to increased sales of the Apple iPhone. Promoting the ability to stream studi...

Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo said the club had to sack Jose Mourinho because of a “palpable discord” between the manager and the players. Mourinho was dismissed on Thursday afternoon with the Blues 16th in the Premier League and just a point above the relegation zone after their worst start to a season since 1978. The move has been criticised by some of the club’s supporters and many feel Mourinho should have been afforded more time to improve the situation after winning the league title last season. But Emenalo has explained the decision was made to “protect the club” and that there were issues between the players and their manager Mourinho, who described himself as feeling “betrayed” by his team in the 2-1 loss at Leicester City on Monday. “What happened was not a pre-meditated decision, it was a decision taken to protect the club,” Emenalo told Chelsea TV. “While there is huge sentiment for the individual ...
