  1. Don't they need to patent everything they intend to sell? So later on they don't get hit with a lawsuit?
  2. UPDATE: Despite McLaren denials, the Financial Times is standing behind its reporting
  3. Apple has approached British luxury carmaker and Formula One team McLaren about a potential acquisition, likely to be valued at between $1.3 billion and $1.9 billion, according to Financial Times. Apple is reportedly considering a full takeover of McLaren, or a strategic investment in the company, likely in an effort to bolster its widely rumored automotive project. Apple is said to be interested in McLaren's automotive-related technology, engineering prowess, and patent portfolio. The California technology group, which has been working on a self-driving electric vehicle for more than two years, is considering a full takeover of McLaren or a strategic investment, according to three people briefed on the negotiations who said talks started several months ago. A tie-up with McLaren, whose expertise ranges from automotive engineering and on-board computer systems to novel chassis materials such as carbon fibre and aluminium, could accelerate Apple’s secretive automotive project. Apple and McLaren declined to comment. McLaren, headquartered in Woking, Surrey, manufactures high-performance sports cars, including the P1 and F1 models commonly used for racing. The carmaker produced just 1,654 vehicles last year, some costing as much as $1 million apiece. McLaren has a Formula One team itself that competes under the name McLaren Honda, winning more F1 grand prix races than any other team since 1966. http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/21/apple-mclaren-acquisition-talks/ http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0%2F523422ba-7ffd-11e6-8e50-8ec15fb462f4.html?ft_site=falcon&desktop=true Update: McLaren has come out and denied the reports.

  4. Apple's just preparing us for the 2017 iPhone, there were some notable improvements like @VerticalDiscussions mentioned. Still this iPhone is worth the upgrade, I reckon next year Apple's going to wipe the floor with the competition.
  5. Yeah just noticed, come on dslreports, there's a forum there with knowledgeable people. If you're in the States, there's ISP employees there that can assist on the forum.
  6. What brand is it? Does the manufacturer offer any dead pixel warranty? You should be able to lower the brightness in the settings menu, if it doesn't go any lower, then only option you have is to contact the manufacturer. I have a Dell and on my monitor I have like 3 years of warranty that covers any screen imperfections that weren't caused by me.
  7. This thread. People can buy whatever they want, it's not like you're the one paying for it. I'm getting the iPhone 7 plus, the 6s is almost a year old, and it still reigns supreme in speed tests vs phones like the Nexus and the Note 7!!!!!11!1one!1
  8. I'm upgrading to the iPhone 7 Plus. Does anyone know if they're providing lightning headphones, or will they just give ya an adapter?
  9. It's the same with RMA they first send you the item, and if you don't return the broken item they'll take ya ass to collection or charge ya credit card! lol
