The National Security Agency’s controversial metadata collection program –?which indiscriminately siphons up billions of phone records — was not authorized by the Patriot Act, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday, though the court stopped short of ordering the program to be suspended.

By hcole623 I wear NATO/G10 straps of different varieties on my mechanical watches almost everyday.
It would be pretty easy to do the mod where you can use traditional watch bands, and use a 2-piece NATO strap (so as not to block the sensors).
Perhaps one of these
I was curious if anyone had done this yet and had some pictures? I think it’d look great!

By eric3312 Very..Very dumb question indeed. However, I noticed that when I use the stock Weather App (both widget and app itself), I no longer see the little Location Services symbol in the status bar at the top anymore. I used to see this everytime I’d swipe down to view the widget…after it refreshed, the symbol would then go away.
Can anyone else confirm this?
I know, it’s silly…it’s just something I’ve noticed.

By itsMeFred My ipad mini (Retina) is currently running 7.0.something
My iphone 4S is going to stay on 7.0.6 unless anyone has a particularly compelling reason I should go up.
I had left my mini alone, also, because I’ve read it’s easier to keep the ecosystem happy if my iDevices are both the older OS…
But. I want to put MS Office on my ipad and it requires at least 7.1 so I guess I’ll have to upgrade to 8.3…
So, what exactly happens when my iPad is 8 and my phone is still 7?
I heavily rely on the cloud sync for my calendar, for example…

By ssong Just wanted to share my experience.
Ordered a 38mm AWS WSB today morning, got the confirmation email at 9:18 AM BST. Delivery date was 15-22 May.
Got charged at 4:05 ish and now it’s preparing for dispatch.
7 hour turnaround.

By Bollockser I don’t trust Garageband to record live audio without giving me the damned “Disk Is Too Slow” error, even with loads of RAM and a brand new SSD.
Thus, I record with a little 3rd party app, and then drag and drop my sound files into garageband to mix them and apply effects and export the whole thing as a single sound file.
In iLife 11 and previous versions of GB, when I drag and drop an audio file into a track in garageband, I could butt each track up against the beginning of the file – thus, the beginning of each track was in perfect alignment at 0:00.
LO AND BEHOLD Apple threw me a loop when I upgraded to Garageband X: when I drag and drop sound files into a garageband track, they will now go back before they playhead and you can push them into negative time.
NO GOOD. I need each track in perfect sync.
HOW DO I SNAP TO THE BEGINING OF THE DOCUMENT AT 0:00?

Future iPhone displays could transmit invisible but valuable information, such as barcodes for coupons or even advanced facial recognition, according to a proposed Apple invention.

By SweetMystery Take note of usage and put phone in sleep mode, wait for 5-10 minutes and see if usage has increased. I don’t know if this is normal or this should be a concern since it means the phone is not really “Asleep” in sleep mode.

By imac abuser I just got the new MacBook Pro 13″ Retina w/ 128GB. I love the MacBook however what is up with the 128GB how are you supposed to live with that and not be 75% full…
I do have the new 27″ iMac 5K with 3TB fusion drive, 32 GB of ram and 4gb of video and Quad-Core i7 4.0 ghz. That thing is a beast.
I wanted to get the new MacBook but decided besides the design it sucks so I went MacBook Pro because it has connections and things.
I thought hmmm I can get a 256GB SDXC class 10 card and slip in there for more memory. However I get the card and the slot only takes the card half way. That’s not going to work… So I’m going to send that back.
I feel like I have this great laptop that’s limited by a ***** small HD. How do we survive with a nice budget laptop that isn’t a fancy netbook???

My MacBook Air mid 2011 just feels a bit sluggish when going into expose and performing other tasks. Maybe there’s something going on in the backend or maybe it’s just showing its age? I am running Mavericks by the way, Yosemite was on it but just felt too slow on my MacBook.
