Apple Says It Has No Plans for Solely ARM-Based or Touchscreen Macs

Apple recently invited a small group of reporters to Cupertino for a roundtable discussion about the Mac, and while the conversation was primarily focused on the Mac Pro, Apple also revealed that it has no plans for Macs with touchscreens or Macs powered solely by ARM chips, rather than Intel processors, per Axios.

The company has no plans for touchscreen Macs, or for machines powered solely by the kind of ARM processors used in the iPhone and iPad. However, executives left open the possibility ARM chips could play a broader role as companion processors, something that showed up first with the T1 processor that powers the Touch Bar in the new MacBook Pro.

Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller aptly said “no” when asked about the prospect of touchscreen Macs, according to TechCrunch.

It’s worth noting that, when asked about a touch display here, in the context of efforts like Microsoft’s Surface Studio, Schiller replies “No.”

“That’s a whole other long discussion we can get into, but suffice it to say, it’s not a big need of the Mac Pro customers that we’re trying to address,” he says. “You mentioned again how we’re talking about both the iMac and MacBook — I do think that we have a two-prong desktop strategy with both iMac and Mac Pro, we think are each going to be important for pro desktops.”

It’s not the first time that Schiller or Apple have dismissed the idea of a touchscreen Mac. In November, he said that Apple has tested a touchscreen Mac and “absolutely come away with the belief that it isn’t the right thing to do.” He even went as far as calling the idea of a touchscreen iMac “absurd.”

“Can you imagine a 27-inch iMac where you have to reach over the air to try to touch and do things? That becomes absurd.” He also explains that such a move would mean totally redesigning the menu bar for fingers, in a way that would ruin the experience for those using pointer devices like the touch or mouse. “You can’t optimize for both,” he says. “It’s the lowest common denominator thinking.”

Apple design chief Jony Ive has likewise said that a touchscreen Mac would “not be a particularly useful or appropriate application of Multi-Touch.”

For now, it appears the closest we will get to a touchscreen or ARM-based Mac is the latest MacBook Pro, which has a Touch Bar powered by an ARM-based T1 chip as a companion processor. Apple has said one thing and later reversed course in the past, however, so the company’s roadmap could change in the future.

Facebook’s ‘Stories’ Section Now Shows Your Friends as ‘Ghosts’ to Make You Think They’re Using It

Last week, Facebook launched its new camera-focused update that brought along “Facebook Stories” into the main iOS application. Like Snapchat and Instagram Stories before it, Facebook Stories let users post a picture or video onto their feed, which disappears 24 hours later.

Facebook Stories at launch
Unfortunately, adoption of Facebook Stories appears to have been fairly low and users have begun to notice that the social network company is making a slight UI tweak to the feature in an attempt to boost usage (via The Verge).

When it launched, Stories showed a circle with “Your Story,” a Facebook bubble that explained how to use the new feature, and then listed your friends’ Stories, if there were any to show. If there were none, the top of the Facebook app contained a lot of white space (as seen in the image above).

Facebook Stories now, via @Kantrowitz
Now, the company has begun to fill out this white space in the event that none of your friends are posting to Facebook Stories with ghost-like, grayed-out profile pictures. When tapped on, the bubbles simply remark that “[Blank] hasn’t added to their Story recently.” Adding to your own Story remains the same, with a tap on your own profile bubble.

Although the update could be a simple UI clean-up to address the white space issue when not many Stories were up on the app, users online are looking at it as Facebook’s attempt to draw their eyes to the new section of the app with pictures of their friends, convincing more people to post a Story of their own. On Instagram Stories, friends’ Stories are grayed out only after you’ve tapped through their most recent posts. If no one has posted anything, the space remains empty.

Since Instagram Stories and Facebook’s energetic push into video content, Facebook and Snapchat have remained rivals in the mobile app space. On April Fools’ Day this past weekend, Snapchat finally responded to Facebook’s recent glut of “Stories” updates with a copy of its own that allowed users to snap a picture using a filter that looked just like a post on Instagram.

Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 27 With Bug Fixes and Feature Improvements

Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser Apple first introduced one year ago in March of 2016. Apple designed the Safari Technology Preview to test features that may be introduced into future release versions of Safari.

Safari Technology Preview release 27 includes fixes and improvements for JavaScript, Web API, Rendering, CSS, Web Inspector, Media, Accessibility, WebCrypto, and more. Browser changes include a new “Reload Page From Origin” option, which reloads a page without using cached resources, and the removal of the Disable Caches option from the Develop menu. Equivalent functionality is available using the Web Inspector’s Network tab.

The Safari Technology Preview update is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store to anyone who has downloaded the browser. Full release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple’s aim with Safari Technology Preview is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. Safari Technology Preview can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download.

‘YouTube TV’ Streaming Service Launches in Five U.S. Cities

YouTube TV, YouTube’s streaming television service that was first announced in late February, is rolling out to five cities in the United States starting today.

Priced at $35, the service is available in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago.

Separate from YouTube Red, YouTube’s premium service that features content from prominent YouTubers, YouTube TV is a standalone app that’s focused on a mobile first experience. It features access to ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, CW, Disney, ESPN, FX, USA, and dozens of other major cable channels, alongside standard YouTube video content. Premium channels like Showtime are available for an additional fee.

YouTube TV is priced competitively with other streaming services like DirecTV Now, Sling TV, and PlayStation Vue, and its feature set includes cloud DVR options with unlimited storage space and an AI-powered recommendation system. Up to six people in a household can use a single YouTube TV subscription.

To access YouTube TV, customers will need to download the YouTube TV app for iOS or Android, both of which are available today. A one-month free trial is available, and YouTube is providing a free Chromecast with the first month’s payment to allow customers to stream content to a television set.

YouTube TV can be downloaded from the App Store starting now.[Direct Link]

Giroptic iO 360 camera review

Research Center:
Giroptic iO

As the still nascent 360-degree video segment continues to figure itself out, 360 cameras tend to lean strongly toward one of two extremes: The high-end models are often large, expensive, and complicated, while those made to be more approachable all too often come across as gimmicks. The new, $249 Giroptic iO is perhaps the most approachable 360 cam currently available – at least, for iOS users – yet it manages to avoid crossing over into gimmick territory by focusing on its key strengths of portability, ease of use, and effortless live-streaming.

Designed for speed and simplicity

The first thing you will notice about the Giroptic iO is how small it is. It would easily fit in just about any pocket, although you’ll want to be mindful of the bulbous dual-lens head that extends beyond the width of the camera body (and your phone). Giroptic includes a hard plastic case to keep the iO protected when it’s not attached to your phone, and we recommend using it. A plastic sleeve with “legs” helps secure the device to your phone and allows it to stand on edge with the lens elevated when not connected.

This is the 360 cam we’ve been waiting for.

In absolute terms, the device weighs just 2.5 ounces, but it feels surprisingly heavy – in a good way. The casing is made from aluminum and it conveys the sense of a premium product, even if the legged plastic sleeve makes it look like an abstraction of a panda wearing a blue jacket. (Bearing resemblance to some sort of cute creature seems to be a requisite of 360 cams, so as far as that goes, we’re certainly down with pandas.)

Beyond the adorable exterior, what impressed us most was the setup process: Essentially, there isn’t one. Taking a cue from the DXO One, the iO has a Lightning connector built into it. It plugs directly into an iPhone or iPad without any Wi-Fi or Bluetooth setup required. Users will first need to download the free iO 360 app, but after that, it’s plug-and-play. When you connect the camera, it even launches the app automatically.

The first time we plugged in the iO, we were immediately prompted to download the latest firmware update. We didn’t need to enter an email address or register the device; with one tap on the screen, it just worked. Within a minute or two, the iO had its new firmware and we were ready to go.

On the iPhone 7 Plus that served as our test machine, performance was very snappy. Dragging across the screen to pan and tilt within the spherical video field is smooth and responsive. There is a brief delay (around a quarter of a second) between reality and what’s shown on the screen, but considering this is 360-degree video being stitched in real time, we can’t complain. Giroptic says the iO is compatible with iOS devices as far back as the iPhone 5S and iPad Mini 2, but we would expect performance to take a hit on those older devices.

If there’s one downside of the iO’s hardwired connection it’s that you won’t be able to plug anything else into your phone while you’re using it. That means no charging and, for iPhone 7 series owners, no headphone monitoring. In practice, we don’t expect this to be a huge issue given the iO’s intended use cases, but it’s something to be aware of.

One of the best consumer applications of immersive video tech that we’ve yet seen.

Users who put their iPhones inside a case may encounter an issue with fit. Some cases may be too thick, making it impossible to connect the accessory to the Lightning port – something we had to deal with when using the DXO One. However, using Apple’s low-profile leather case with our iPhone 7 Plus, we didn’t have this problem; we can’t say this will be – excuse the pun –the case with every user.

The iO forms a symbiotic relationship with your iPhone, but fortunately it won’t leech your phone’s power. Instead, a 915mAh internal battery powers the camera for around an hour and twenty minutes, based on our tests (the camera stopped responding after it hit 21-percent battery remaining). That’s not a ton of time, but it is respectable given the ultra compact size of the device. Thanks to a Micro USB port nestled beside the Lightning connector, you can also recharge it on the go with a USB battery brick.

In what may be a cause of concern for some, we found the iO to get very hot after extended periods of use. After 30 minutes, it was hot enough that we didn’t want to touch it for too long – it wasn’t hot enough to burn, but it certainly wasn’t comfortable. And while it’s not powered by your phone, keep in mind that your phone’s battery will still drain considerably faster when using the iO for long stretches of time, just as it would if you were using the native camera app.

Share it as you see it

The iO is all about sharing experiences as they happen, with a level of immersion that’s only possible with 360-degree video. While it will shoot 360 video and stills straight to your phone’s camera roll (complete with “little planet” and virtual reality modes), its real strength lies in being able to live-stream to Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter/Periscope. (Power users can even set it up for a custom streaming server).

Starting a live stream is about as basic as it gets. At the bottom of the preview window, just above the record start/stop button, are three options: Photo, Video, and Live. Swipe left for Photo mode or right for Live mode. You can even go live over 4G, although you’ll want to make sure you have a good connection. Working in an area of poor service, our test stream to Facebook was cut short, and the few seconds that did make it through were pixelated almost beyond recognition.

More: Samsung Gear 360 review

With a strong connection, however, the iO is an excellent camera for live-streaming, perfectly suited to cover anything from a garage band practice to a newsworthy event like a protest or parade. The camera’s unobtrusive size also means you won’t draw as much attention to yourself in public, unlike that guy running around with a Nokia Ozo.

The iO forms a symbiotic relationship with your iPhone.

However, the iO definitely won’t match the resolution of a high-end camera, like the Ozo. In fact, with video captured at just 1,920 x 960 pixels, it also falls short of many consumer-oriented 360 cams. Samsung’s new Galaxy Gear 360 shoots at a considerably higher resolution of 4,096 x 2,048 pixels, although it is larger and likely to be more expensive than the iO. When it comes to immersive video, having more resolution really makes a big difference, since those pixels need to be spread out across 360 x 360 degrees. As such, the iO won’t produce the sharpest results. (Note: Still photos are a bit better, at 3,840 x 1,920 pixels.)

That said, this shouldn’t be a huge issue. The iO’s bread and butter is live-streaming, where video quality is limited by numerous factors (such as the aforementioned signal strength). Even the new Gear 360 reverts to Full HD when live-streaming, not the full 4K that it’s capable of. Furthermore, when viewing on a phone, we found the sharpness to be just fine. It does get a bit soft around the stitching line, but for a panda-shaped camera that fits in the palm of your hand, it really does quite well.

Our Take

The Giroptic iO may just be the 360 cam we’ve been waiting for. It is compact, ridiculously easy to use, and affordable at just $249. Giroptic has nailed the formula first put into use by DXO of hardwiring an accessory camera straight into the Lightning port. The seamless integration between camera, phone, and social media has removed all the pain points of sharing immersive experiences, as we’ve encountered with standalone models – including Giroptic’s first camera, the 360cam.

There are 360 cameras out there with better resolution, bigger batteries, and more features, but none that have repeatedly put a smile on our faces the way the iO has. Maybe that’s just the panda thing, or maybe there really is something to Giroptic’s approach of choosing a few key elements and building a refined product around them.

Is there a better alternative?

First off, if you’re not an iOS user, then you are currently out of luck with the iO. However, based on what the company has said at CES, an Android version of the iO may be coming later this year. We’re also eagerly waiting to review the Samsung Gear 360 (the new one), which will support iOS in addition to Android phones this time around. However, we doubt anything will match the iO’s powerful combination of portability, simplicity, and affordability – there’s nothing currently on the market like it.

How long will it last?

Our biggest concern is the battery, which is not user replaceable. We’re not sure how many charge cycles it will handle, but this could put a limit on the device’s long-term survivability. Over time, there’s also the chance that the lenses could get scratched. Again, the product feels well made, but its portability gives it an increased chance of living a more rough-and-tumble lifestyle.

Should you buy it?

If you have an iPhone or iPad and at least a passing interest in 360 video or live streaming, then absolutely. The Giroptic iO makes 360 video production effortless, affordable, and, perhaps most importantly, fun. Simply put, it is one of the best consumer applications of immersive video tech that we’ve yet seen. There will be competition, but the iO can hold its own.

New technique not only detects cancer, it can pinpoint its location from blood samples

Why it matters to you

CancerLocator may help detect early-stage cancer, potentially saving patients’ lives.

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California have developed a one-two punch to help doctors diagnose cancer. They’ve called the computer program CancerLocator, and it simultaneously detects cancer and determines where in the body the cancer is located by analyzing a sample of the patient’s blood. The program could not only facilitate quicker diagnoses but more effective treatments.

CancerLocator works by detecting and measuring tumor DNA circulating freely in blood. Every time a cell dies, bits of its DNA is released into the bloodstream carrying unique identifiers called methyl groups, which can signal whether or not a gene was affected in a cancerous cell.

“The cell-free DNAs are extracted from blood samples and subjected to DNA methylation profiling,” Jasmine Zhou, one of the researchers who leads the project, told Digital Trends. “From those DNA methylation patterns, we use statistical learning techniques to identify signatures of individual cancer types.”

More: This Google algorithm can detect cancer more accurately than a human doctor

Cells have different gene expressions throughout the body so, by analyzing the methylation profile of a particular bit of DNA, CancerLocator can pinpoint where the DNA comes from.

“Using the large amount of DNA methylation profiles of various tumor types in the public database, we can identify the DNA methylation signatures that differentiate multiple cancer types as well as normal plasma,” said Wenyuan Li, another researcher behind the project. The team then developed a statistical model based on those signatures to help infer the tumor’s type and severity.

In the study, researchers compared CancerLocator to two older programs, testing blood samples from patients with liver, lung, or breast cancer. CancerLocator demonstrated an error rate of just 0.264, compared to 0.646 and 0.604 for the other programs. It was able to detect early-stage cancers with 80-percent accuracy.

A paper detailing the study was published last month in the journal Genome Biology.

Shopping for plans on Sprint? We break down the carrier’s three choices

Sprint is in a dead heat with T-Mobile for offering the cheapest plans of the four major carriers. Its service is also best in cities, but patchy in rural areas. Sprint offers a few different plans, including plans with data caps, unlimited data plans, and prepaid plans. Here, we break down all your options to help you decide which is best for you and your family.

When it comes to data, Sprint doesn’t charge overages, but your speeds will be slower after you pass your data limit (unless you have an unlimited plan). Those who don’t use much data only need about 1GB per person, medium users will want 2GB per person, and heavy users will want 3GB per person or more. Here’s the pricing for Sprint’s data cap plans.

Sprint’s non-unlimited Better Choice plans are a little bizarre. Unless you’re sipping data and are only sharing data with one other person, it’s almost worth it to just go ahead and sign up for its Unlimited Freedom plans, which are regularly on some type of promotion — and far cheaper.

There’s no contract, and you have to pay the full, unsubsidized price for each smartphone on the plan. You’ll pay for each device in installments, too, which typically range between $20 and $30 a month per phone. You can also add your own phone to your plan instead of buying a new one (more on this later).

Sprint’s capped plans are a good deal for people who don’t use too much data and want to save a buck or two. T-Mobile offers more perks, but Sprint’s prices are slightly cheaper.

Recommendations:

• Single people and couples get the best deals at Sprint.
• Once you have three people or more, Sprint’s prices are often on par with T-Mobile’s unlimited plan offerings, and its own regular promotions for the Unlimited Freedom Plan.
• Sprint’s plans are great for international travellers because you get free text and data in 180 countries.

The perks of the Sprint Plan:

• Unlimited talk, text, and data in Canada and Mexico, as well as the United States. Unlimited text and data at lower speeds is also available in nearly 180 countries worldwide, though calls cost 20 cents per minute.
• No overages.
• Lets you lease some phones so you can get a new one every year.

The downsides of the Sprint Plan:

• Patchy coverage in rural areas, and consistently slower data rates through much of the country as opposed to its competitors.
• Not as many perks as T-Mobile.
• Once you go over your data limit, your speeds will slow.

AMD’s latest Radeon driver helps stabilize VR framerates for older graphics cards

Why it matters to you

AMD customers with older Radeon graphics cards should see an improvement in VR performance after installing the latest Radeon graphics driver.

The latest driver for AMD’s Radeon-branded graphics cards is out, dubbed as Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.4.1. The big highlights with this release is that it provides support for Asynchronous Spacewarp (Oculus Rift) for the Radeon R9 Fury series, the Radeon R9 390 series, and the Radeon R9 290 series. It also adds Asynchronous Reprojection (HTC Vive) support to the AMD Radeon RX 470 and RX 480 cards running under Windows 10.

On the Asynchronous Spacewarp and Asynchronous Reprojection fronts, this tech fills in the holes when the combined PC and VR application can’t sustain the needed 90 frames per second for a fluid visual experience (dropped frames will create a “dragging,” slow-motion visual effect). Thus, to fill the holes, the tech analyzes the previous frames to determine head movement and then renders a predicted scene in a custom frame.

More: AMD 500 series graphics card names and RAM sizes detailed

In addition to the new VR features, the driver adds support for DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3, an 8K resolution at 60Hz using two cables, and an 8K resolution at 30Hz using one cable. The driver also resolves three non-gaming issues, and one specific issue with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Previously, Wildlands players experienced poor multi-GPU scaling on some configurations with multiple Radeon graphics cards installed.

Here are the three fixed non-gaming issues:

AMD FreeSync:
When running applications in Borderless Fullscreen mode, users experienced flickering on some FreeSync-enabled displays.
Radeon Settings:
Users experienced a stuck/unresponsive issue with Radeon Settings when upgrading the driver through the app.
AMD XConnect:
After a Radeon Software installation, users experienced a system hang when immediately unplugging an XConnect device.

As for the outstanding issues, there’s only one game-specific showstopper: the problem with FreeSync in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and World of Warcraft. Right now, AMD suggests that customers exit and restart the games, or task-switch (ATL+TAB) in and out of the games to resolve the issue. Otherwise, expect flickering or performance issues when the games are first launched with FreeSync enabled.

Here are the four other known issues:

Radeon Settings:
Profiles for some games may not be retained after system log off or reboot.
Radeon Settings:
This app may crash after toggling on/off CrossFire and switching Windows accounts on the PC.
Radeon WattMan:
Settings on some Radeon R9 390 series graphics products may not be applied.
AMD FreeSync:
When apps and/or game launches are running in the background on the primary screen, users will experience visual problems in a small number of apps with FreeSync and Borderless Fullscreen enabled.

AMD also lists five outstanding issues tied to its Radeon ReLive service. These include an incompatibility with Xbox/Game DVR in Windows 10, the inability to install Radeon ReLive on systems with APUs, the inability to change the recording settings with Instant Replay enabled, corruption in recordings associate with Microsoft Office programs, and more.
