Live Coverage of Apple's March 2015 'Spring Forward' Event

"Apple will not see your data" so reassuring.

 

[bunnicula]

Sure. Sure you won't see anyone's data.

 

[Rogifan]

So what's this about Apple becoming a fashion company again?

 

[mdelvecchio]

They should just go to the Apple Watch ASAP, just like when the announced the iPhone 6.

nope, you build up suspense by drawing things out. oldest rule in show business.

 

[ThisIsNotMe]

So Apple TV hasn't been updated yet again?

Updated to do what exactly?

Load that in VLC for a good stream.

sigh so asthma app only for the US...

Really would be into this for my son, here in the backwaters of the UK...

My guess is that they need to sort out regulatory issues in every country where they roll this out. The US laws are quite difficult as it is.

This keynote sucks! Who cares about better medical research, I want what I want NOW!

/s

You should all be ashamed. This isn't some data tracking for the NSA. It's opening up the power of iOS devices for those who want to better medical research. It's a choice to download said apps....

Agreed. Wholly.

Good news everyone iTunes Match customers get to access Beats music streaming service for free.

 

[Steve121178]

For someone like me with Type 1 Diabetes, this is potentially game changing.

Sure, I can see how it's useful, but it is boring.

 

[576316]

This medical stuff is boring.

It's a feature that the vast majority of users won't use or even know exists. Sadly, there's lots of really useful features like this which people just don't know about.

 

[DavidBlack]

Good news everyone iTunes Match customers get to access Beats music streaming service for free.

Where did you see that?

 

[Motawa]

so, research kit is US only?

 

[biscuitsxluv]

If you're not getting live stream, clear history and website data and try again.

 

[gotluck]

Yeah, piracy; sure helps one's conscience to be so entitled.

PS: XBMC (sorry, "Kodi" ) is a steaming pile of festering donkey dung.

what is better than kodi?

 

[apolloa]

If you live in the U.S., look up HIPPA. It protects most medical information.

I don't so can't. But thanks anyway.

Not sure what to make of this? Medical research from a phone? I would see it as a 'as well as' device, as in NEVER to be the only device used. And it should never ever replace a doctor.

Wonder what cut of money Apple makes on this?

 

[MH01]

Research kit . Awesome and all, but lets talk products, 30 min in......

 

[jbachandouris]

They sure are dragging things out. I guess that's OK as I have nothing better to do but watch.

Research is fascinating...

 

[braintumor]

Very BORING up till now... Looks like they just showing subjects to fill up the keynote...

 

[mdelvecchio]

"Apple will not see your data" so reassuring.

it should be. they're the only ones who've done it so far with wallet/credit data (apple pay), unlike google's offerings which retain all your data and history.

 

[deputy_doofy]

This medical stuff is boring, but it's the kind of boring that will make Apple even more money, cementing iOS devices in the medical industry. As a shareholder, that's huge!

 

[linuxcooldude]

Sure, I can see how it's useful, but it is boring.

Its only boring until you have to deal with it yourself.

 

[KPOM]

Sure, I can see how it's useful, but it is boring.

It's "boring" but important information that sets up a new use case for mobile devices. Now is the time to get the word out when everyone is watching to see the news on the Apple Watch.

 

[theSeb]

so, research kit is US only?

From what I can gather, yes, for now.

If you're not getting live stream, clear history and website data and try again.

lol Nice try.
