Bag that. Anything that is digital-based is just another thing some asshat can hack. Local analog control, circa 1960, FTW.

People are getting wrong all smart thingy.

Before anything, I don't encourage the use of arms, but not banning them either. I am neutral.

But regarding this smart gun, locked and safe "think about the children" is a stupid idea.
Imagine you pop up with that gun in hand, to confront a thug that has a gun, also. But the thug doesn't know that your gun is smart and locked, because that thug is guided by gun blazing, cash grabbing mantra. One will end up wounded for sure and it ain't the bad guy.How is this smart?

Great news for consumers once again.

 

Apple is trying to own the exclusive rights to every image of actual apples
Apple is attempting to trademark images of apples to be the entity that owns any depiction of apples, whether it be in the technology industry or not...

The Fruit Union Suisse is 111 years old. For most of its history, it has had as its symbol a red apple with a white cross—the Swiss national flag superimposed on one of its most common fruits. But the group, the oldest and largest fruit farmer’s organization in Switzerland, worries it might have to change its logo, because Apple, the tech giant, is trying to gain intellectual property rights over depictions of apples, the fruit.

“We have a hard time understanding this, because it’s not like they’re trying to protect their bitten apple,” Fruit Union Suisse director Jimmy Mariéthoz says, referring to the company’s iconic logo. “Their objective here is really to own the rights to an actual apple, which, for us, is something that is really almost universal … that should be free for everyone to use.”
