Apple News:Apple asks OLED suppliers to increase output in anticipation of curved 'iPhone 8' in 2017

Apple asks OLED suppliers to increase output in anticipation of curved 'iPhone 8' in 2017: "Monday's report suggested it's likely that Samsung will be the chief partner, as other display makers simply cannot provide the amount of inventory needed for a new iPhone launch. Apple is said to be hoping that Sharp, LG Display and Japan Display will be able to ramp up production to take over some of Samsung's share by 2018."

Strange bedfellows!

Apple News:Japan plans 130-petaflops China-beating number-crunching supercomputer | Ars Technica

Japan plans 130-petaflops China-beating number-crunching supercomputer | Ars Technica: "Like 498 out of the top 500 systems, Japan's 27 supercomputers in the Top 500 list all run Linux, and it is highly likely the new system will do so as well. It is not yet known who will construct the system for the Japanese government—bidding for the project is open until December 8."

As it turns out, free software is actually the most useful.

Apple axes Wi-Fi router division, apparently signaling the end of AirPort: "Apple has apparently disbanded its internal wireless router development team, assigning engineers to other, more lucrative projects within the company, and bringing to an end the development of Apple-branded routers, a new report has revealed."

DRAMA ON MARS: Curiosity bot fires laser at alien metal object • The Register: "NASA is famous for over-engineering its hardware, and the results are sometimes spectacular. The Opportunity rover is still trundling across the Martian surface 12 years after landing, despite an expected lifespan of 90 days, and Curiosity is holding up well."

Good thing there are still software engineers around that can build things that run for more than a 12 month product upgrade cycle.

Apple cuts 512GB, 1TB SSD upgrade prices by up to $200 on older Mac models: "It appears Apple's push toward an all-flash storage Mac lineup is driving an amortization of SSD costs for the tech giant, as the company recently cut upgrade pricing for 512GB and 1TB modules on older Mac models. "
