In 2016, Chrome is taking it out and redirecting all video traffic to HTML5 versions. What would have happened to 2016 devices if Flash were still around?

They would have been thicker to accommodate more battery, just to play the power-hungry Flash videos and animations. What would have happen...Having similar-looking devices makes it more difficult to convince users to buy them. Apple has to convince users that it is innovating. When the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7Plus come out in about two weeks, they will probably look exactly the same as the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. This would not have been such a big issue if the same design wasn't used in 2015's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Apple is not at their first attempt to deliver a similar-looking device for the third time in a row. After all, the Macs and iPads are doing that since their inception. On the other hand, the iPhone 5 design was sold as iPhone 5s and iPhone SE, and nobody had anything to complain about...."Back to the Mac" for RealEnough with the iPhone and iPad. Apple needs to apply all that knowledge to the Mac as soon as possibleThe Retina MacBook Pro has been the same since May 2015.

The same design, the same hardware, and it only got some incremental software updates with OS X every year. The iMac has not received anything new since October of 2015. moroso gold anodized air cleanerI don't even want to mention the MacBook Air, the Mac Mini or the Mac Pro. asept-air life cell 1550 cadrTo have the same hardware and design for more than 3 years in a row feels un-Apple-like.In the meantime, the iPhone was changed every year, and the iPad has a bigger brother. air purifier hwzThe guys over at Cupertino have a few excuses, but do they really hold water?Software doesn't make it new, especially ...Is Apple Too Early for the Future?Removing the audio jack for a digital connectorRemember the floppy drive? The 1.44MB storage device was too small in capacity and too big in size for a modern computer.

Apple decided to remove it, and the world went on fire. The CD and DVD were the future.Steve Jobs didn't even want to consider it for his mobile devices, and everyone called him an arrogant old man. Apple has always followed in the footsteps of ice skater Wayne Gretzky: "Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." And they were (most of the times) right.Quality versus convenienceThe most recent debate in the Apple world is all about...Siri vs. Google Assistant - The Virtual Assistants Battle Is All About PrivacyHow much are you willing to pay in order for the virtual assistant on your mobile phone to become smarter?Everybody admits it: the next battle will be all about virtual assistants and virtual reality. The other one is pretty simple: good graphics, lighter headsets, and better integration with the mobile ecosystem. The first one, however, is the one giving headaches to the user and even more problems to the developers. Every virtual assistant on the market (and I am thinking of Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon Echo, and other small ones) has a server side in order to process the information it gives to the user, a voice recognition side, and an interface to present the data (voice or screen).

CFAA Amendment Would Make the Life of a Security Researcher Even TougherUS senators try to pass the same sneaky amendments that didn't pass in CISA, now hidden inside the Email Privacy ActTwo US senators have proposed an amendment to the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act) that would criminalize the work of security researchers and grant new surveillance powers to local US authorities, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) warns.Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island) and Lindsey Graham (South Carolina) have submitted an amendment to the CFAA law, which the EFF is saying they may try to sneak past voters as part of the Email Privacy Act that's up for voting in the coming weeks.The two used the same tactic last year, when they tried to slip the same amendment as part of the Cy...Throw a Stone at AppleI know you want it, and they definitely deserve itI'm an Apple fan, but not a fanboy. I like and own many of their products, I understand their strategies, and I admire them for many things, but in the last couple of years, I've started to get annoyed by their vanity and lack of action.

They seem to be stuck with the same direction of development imposed by the stock market goals and multi-year product development.Meanwhile, the actual devices market changes pretty quickly and they seem to be afraid to make any bold moves. Now the stock market has finally made the move and everyone in the media rejoices at every chance they get to throw ...Compare Various colors available waterproof wet and dry car vacuum cleaner with air compressor Ningbo Ocean Car Accessories Co., Ltd. US $2.9-4 500 Pieces Transaction Level Bagless vacuums are becoming increasingly popular as their technology improves. The big advantage is that they eliminate the hassle of buying and replacing bags, which is better both for the environment and your wallet. Today's bagless vacuums have improved filtration systems to trap allergens and dust, keeping those tiny particles from flying around the room or resettling on the room's furnishings. They're also easier and neater to empty than they used to be.

However, if you prefer the additional filtration of a bagging vacuum, see our discussion of the best bagged vacuums elsewhere in this report. Don't like to vacuum? See our recommendations for robotic vacuums and sit back and let them do the dirty work. In the bagless vacuum category it's always a close call between Dyson and Shark, and for this update, the Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away NV501 (Est. $250) once again takes the top spot. The Rotator NV501 gets top ratings from both experts and owners, scoring just as well as or better than Dyson models in professional testing. The NV501 is also highly versatile. It can be converted into a canister vacuum using the Shark's "Lift-Away" process to simply detach the main vacuum unit and power head from the upright's framework, which makes it a breeze to clean in tough spots like stairs and under beds. The NV501 has an 11.5-inch cleaning path, a bit narrow compared to some upright vacuum cleaners, and some say they wish it were wider;

however, its extreme maneuverability and good array of included accessories make that a non-issue, most say. In fact, many owners note that it fits into spaces where larger, bulkier vacuums don't, like between and behind furnishings. Quite a few also comment that it's so easy to push that it doesn't feel like a chore to take those extra passes that its narrow width makes necessary. The power head is equipped with LED headlights, but most say they're too dim to provide much illumination. It weighs just under 16 pounds, which is considered lightweight compared to many other full-sized, upright vacuums. As for accessories, the NV501 has a nice selection, although we saw some comments that, for the price, even more should be included. Out of the box, the Shark Rotator includes an 11-inch crevice too, a dusting brush and a power brush for cleaning upholstery, and that particular attachment gets great reviews for picking up pet hair from furniture. If you need more accessories, there are quite a few that are available to buy separately.

Allergy sufferers and pet owners are the biggest fans of the Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away In addition to the power brush that whisks pet hair off furniture, it features a sealed, HEPA filter to trap allergens. Owners say they see very few emissions from this vacuum -- and it earns an Excellent in professional tests in that category -- something they say helps keep their air cleaner. Many say they see a noticeable improvement in deeper cleaning of carpets than previous vacuums they have owned. If you primarily have bare floors in your home, you may want to take a look at the Dyson Ball Multi Floor (Est. $400), formerly known as the Dyson DC65. Its self-adjusting cleaner head makes it a breeze to transition from hardwood floors, to area rugs, to carpet and back again, say owners. That makes it easy to use on area rugs without pulling their corners up into the vacuum. It also gets great reviews for picking up everything from the finest dust motes and pet hairs, to chunky challenges like pet food and litter without scattering it across the floor.

Some owners say that its ball technology takes some getting used to as it feels skitterish on hard floors, but once they get used to it they praise the easy navigation. The Dyson Multi Floor may be a better choice than the Shark NV501 for some because it has a 13.5-inch cleaning path, more than 2 inches wider than the NV501. It also includes a combination crevice and stair tool, but has nothing near the overall versatility of the Shark Rotator. Of course, the big downside to the Dyson is that it's pricey. Even the Shark, although it's quite a bit less expensive than the Dyson, may be a stretch for some wallets. The good news is that the Hoover WindTunnel T-Series (Est. $120) beats both the Shark and the Dyson in professional tests -- it's the only bagless vacuum awarded a score of Excellent for pet hair and tool airflow in one independent review. It also earns an Excellent rating for emissions, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers as well. The Hoover WindTunnel gets raves from owners for its performance on pet hair, but many note that it works better on carpet than on hardwood floors -- and professional testing bears that out.
