Apple Tech Could Create Invisible Input Areas on Bezels to Replace Buttons

1st February 2022

Read it.

Apple is continuing to develop technology that could allow virtually invisible input areas that can display information to a user while replacing physical buttons or controls on its products.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent to Apple covering a “concealable input region for an electronic device.” The patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,237,655, describes technology that uses microperforations to sense input.

Apple says the point of the patent is to do away with the “large buttons, keys, or other mechanically-actuated structures” used to sense inputs on a device. That’s because traditional input elements “may lack flexibility or adaptability and may permanently indicate the presence of the input device.”

As a Apple stockholder, I encourage them to do so.

Whoops Whoopi!

1st February 2022

Steven Hayward at Power Line.

I made a disparaging comment here the other day about how I never watch “The View,” because, based on the 10-second clips I’ve seen from time to time by accident, it seems obvious that if you actually attempt to sit through an entire episode you’ll feel your IQ dropping by the minute.

Today “View” stalwart Whoopi Goldberg said “the Holocaust wasn’t about race,” and you can see the other panelists desperately trying to figure out how to go into damage-control mode, before the director, no doubt shouting in the control room “Shut it down! Go to commercial!”, brought up the bumper music quite abruptly and loudly to stop Whoopi’s big whoops!

Her thesis would certainly come as news to Hitler. Maybe even to Joe Biden.

Some Doctors Will Fight … for Me, Anyway

1st February 2022

Read it.

Anyone who had a reaction short of anaphylaxis that caused throat swelling (and only that), is guided by the CDC to receive the vaccine.

Cardiomyopathy? Get the booster.

Venous Sinus Thrombus? Get the booster.

Deep vein thrombosis? Get the booster.

Total body rash? Get the booster.

The CDC’s guidelines do not take into account the unique nature of people and their strange immune systems. The State of California’s Department of Public Health also does not take into account people’s conditions and previous reactions. California’s Board of Medicine is still creating an environment of fear for doctors who are willing to treat their patients as individuals. BoM is still coercing doctors to deny appropriate care and guidance to their patients for fear of losing their own careers.

Beware the Jabberwock!

I must confess that I was shocked — shocked! — to learn that there are hoaxters among those who promote the experimental mRNA treatments for the Wuhan Coronavirus. What happened to the incorruptible physicians of the utmost probity who previously inhabited the profession?

‘Non-Violent Dangers,’ or ‘Their Violence Is Speech; Our Speech Is Violence’

1st February 2022

Read it.

against police officers, no lootings of businesses, no arsonist fires, no destruction of police stations … all of which were well-represented in 2020 riots corporate media labeled mostly peaceful. This has been a source of frustration to the corporate media. Disappointed by the lack of real violence in the trucker protest, leftists have resorted to the “McAuliffe Maneuver” of sending activists to discredit the movement through white supremacist cosplay.

The Washington Post published an editorial cartoon bizarrely equating a working-class protest against authoritarian Government as “fascism.” But still, the truckers have persisted in remaining nonviolent. According to the Toronto Globe and Mail, the mere presence of truckers who could potentially hold the wrong opinions is traumatizing to the sort of people who are perpetually traumatized.
