I have a video of Natalie indoors at 240 FPS. Not too bad.

Those portable charges, for me, are lifesavers. You can charge an iPhone 3-4 times on one charge, but they're heavy and bulky, however they have gotten smaller and lighter: http://www.bhphotovide

Apple watch app.

While the GPS app is pretty cool I worry about battery life. Keeping the GPS on all the time along with the display may run down the battery.

The GPS is in your phone at least.

I'd like to know how useful the Apple Watch is without your iPhone.  If you aren't carrying your iPhone with you, what can you do with it?  Or do you have to have your iPhone with you at all times?

I think it's pretty limited w/o the iPhone. There's definitely no cell radio in it, no gps. Probably no wifi. Only the LE Bluetooth.

Yes. You are right.

The Samsung watches all require you to own a Samsung phone. They won't even boot up without the phone. I imagine the iWatch will be the same.

But I think the end game is to get it all in there one day.

Today I learned you can append to a video by dropping another one into Quicktime. Very useful especially if you're too lazy to go into iMovie or Final Cut Pro or whatever monster video editing app. I need take time and find out all the little Quicktime tricks I'm missing, jeez.

Apple Granted 25 Patents Today Covering Camera Stabilization, Wi-Fi + Cellular MacBook and an Audio User Interface

Quote:

Apple Granted Patent for a Cellular MacBook

Apple has been granted a patent today for their invention relating to cavity antennas for the iPhone and future MacBooks designed for cellular telephone bands. There have been many patents on this possible future product and you could review them in our Cellular MacBook archive.

Whether the idea is to design a MacBook with cellular data capabilities like the iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular offers today or to go beyond that to offering a telephone application, as the patent suggests, is unknown at this time.

Cool Mac app to unlock MacBook/iMac via Touch ID, some technical issues going on now, but when it's fixed should be a nifty little nice to have.

Yeah, read more of the description - you have to unlock your phone to go into an app, unlock that to unlock laptop/desktop. I thought there would be fewer steps, like straight from the control center but that's locked down I think.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
