Much smaller screens made this a useful function for being able to layer windows, as fake tabs

Why did they not name it Apple Juice instead of Airpower? :) If you're referring to the FaceTime announcement, it was a third party that forced them to keep it closed (from memory).

On stage it was stated you needed to be alert and looking at the device, as in eyes open. Sleeping is fine I'd guess :)

If you're worried about people living with you, I'd guess TouchID is already a huge issue.

I feel that Apple knows exactly what it's doing with this feature. There is a strong pull with iMessage for 15-25 year olds in schools, the kind of market something like this will go over pretty well with and potentially create more lock in to their message platform. Along with all the other photo apps that will take advantage of this tech. You could even just look at the Animoji as a tech preview for all the other devs.

I like the momentum, but on mobile (iPad) each move is a new place in my back history.

Sounds like you're enjoying living where you are precisely because of strangers, some of which I'm assuming you meet ;)

It could also be how they made QuickTime very (more?) unstable on Windows, or the IE extension in OS 9 that WOZ proved to cause the OS to crash.

I think your info is a bit outdated (and some incorrect). Buy a mac (or ignore the Eula and run OS X in a VM), install the dev tools (free), install the app on your iPad (free). If you want to publish, there's a fee (per year).

From the article : "Saturation divers are incredibly well paid (around £1,500 per day), but the risk they are exposed to reflects the rationale behind the pay structure."

That lawsuit was because apple didn't pay the standard licensing fees for something Nokia owned, because Nokia was trying to charge more than they are allowed to (they wanted access to the iPhone patents as part of the deal). So apple decided to just go ahead, knowing they'd loose but the loss would be at the proper rate (plus lawyers fees).

Depending on my mood I'll either stop reading and leave the site, or fill in an (hopefully an actual) email address of the domain I'm on, then leave the site. It's never ever enticed me to sign up for anything
