Masimo’s long-time lawsuit over Apple Watch patent infringement has encountered another setback, as a U.S. District Court filing reveals the complaint against the USITC will be dismissed with prejudice.

More holiday cheer. For those of you asking about Safari’s “stable” Interop 2025 score…

Real-world test of Apple's latest implementation of Mac cluster computing proves it can help AI researchers work using massive models, thanks to pooling memory resources over Thunderbolt 5.

Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of Mac Studios! 🧐🤔🤣

Interesting discussion here of Apple's new RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Thunderbolt, released in macOS 26.2 this week. RDMA provides low-latency clustering between Macs with Thunderbolt 5 ports. Fun times ahead for macOS cluster computing. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4624...

Fun fact: my company @illuminex.bsky.social illumineX made the first app to be banned from Apple App Store. iFlinger was a tongue in cheek shoe tossing game, with a cartoon bobble head Bush trying to duck behind a podium as you tossed a shoe at him. Featured original cartoon artwork by Paul Fell.

Where does TDD fit in the iOS ecosystem? Here's a podcast about how I depend on TDD for iOS development, and the backstory for why I do. https://qualitycoding.org/test-driven-ios-development-jon-reid/

"We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android’s C and C++ code." security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust...

"But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery. With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one." security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust...

Faster penetration-free simulation based on VBD (Vertex Block Descent) + OGC (Offset Geometry Contact). This seems like an inflection point. youtu.be/7NF3CdXkm68

Today is iPhone 17 Day™ — when the first batch of people outside of Apple receive their new iPhone with an A19 processor and iOS 26, a combination which provides dramatically better protection from state-sponsored attacks against memory-safety defects. #MIE security.apple.com/blog/memory-...

Help your parents update their phones to iOS 26, and enable and learn to use the new call screening feature. This will help protect them from fraud.

Apple could have implemented call screening, mentioned it in their marketing materials, and left it at that. Instead, Apple elected to prompt users who interact with Phone app, offering them the chance to enable it. This will drive adoption of the anti-spam feature. www.wired.com/story/apple-...

Any Apple developers interested in memory safety, as well as cyber security peeps, will find this of keen interest. #InfoSec #Swift #iOS security.apple.com/blog/memory-...

"Identity verification sucks… 1. nobody likes surrender of privacy to use your website 2. limited availability (few sites verify)" — Jesse Tayler (paraphrased) @jtayler.bsky.social at RISK in NYC on identity in the digital age. youtu.be/fU_zuuZDBD0

"Even the slightest change in one attribute can cause uncertainly large change in any other attribute." — Tom Gilb, Principles of Engineering Management

If you work with software, you’ll appreciate the Ship of Theseus puzzle. 🧩 This is how Microsoft, Google, Apple, and others are refactoring massive codebases into memory-safe languages like Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Typescript, and Carbon for better security. youtu.be/dYAoiLhOuao?...

Why aren’t you investing in passkeys?

Some analysts suggest that passwords (weak, stolen, cracked, or phished) are the single largest attack vector. Passwords are shared secrets which can be stolen. Passkeys (WebAuthn) are *not* shared secrets and aren't phishable.
