Submission + - Apple would require users to input health data to keep using their iPhone (appleinsider.com)

the_skywise writes: Apple has filed a patent requiring user input of health data. This is a logical step towards making the iPhone a qualified medical device but it also blocks the user from using their phone until the data has been entered.

Really?

A miss?

Are you confusing TV with watching video content on your computer because those are two entirely different things and Steve supported the latter. He probably realized that slaving PCs to broadcast/scheduled TV was a non-starter... Just as making PCs have built-in FM/AM Tuners would've been.

I'm not saying Steve was a prophetic genius as he certainly made mistakes and it's wholly possible he disdained TV because he didn't want the cable companies like Comcast to get a foothold into his control of the industry. But this was far from "a miss".
