The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) today awarded Apple a patent describing a process for embedding light-sensing sensors into a mobile display. The invention, titled “Electronic devices with display-integrated light sensors,” potentially paves the way for next year’s iPhone. Apple’s new patent specifically mentions the ambient light and proximity sensors, which are found on the front face of the device, as being integrated into the display assembly. According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and pundits in the know, like Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, the iPhone 8—or whatever a 2017 iPhone (or Tenth Anniversary iPhone) ends up being called—should be a major design departure from prior models as it would supposedly get rid of the chin and forehead bezels by integrating Touch ID and the front-camera along with other sensors directly into the display....

It doesn’t move the bar up significantly from its predecessor -the Galaxy S22- but there are few competitors in the Android space that offer the same combination of features and performance in as compact a form, and very few at all that deliver software and security updates as promptly or for as long a time as Samsung....

I don’t pay for online services anymore. Not frequently, anyways, since almost all of my online gaming is done on my PC. If I’m getting a new co-op game or multiplayer shooter, it’s exclusively going to end up in my Steam library, because I don’t have to shell out a single extra cent to properly play the game. But I can still at least acknowledge that some online services are worth the $60 they charge each year....

The Meteoric Rise And Fall Of Sam Bankman-Fried Sam Bankman-Fried has been a few things in his life, but his two most prominent roles are almost the polar opposite of each other. At one point he could be considered the picture of a cryptocurrency success story — amassing a fortune worth billions and assembling a crypto-empire in a very short space of time. On the other hand, Bankman-Fried could potentially be used as a case study on the volatility surrounding cryptocurrency and how the market’s lack of regulation could leave investors watching helplessly as their savings evaporate into nothing....

I’m still waiting to playBaldur’s Gate 3. You know, that much-acclaimed Game of the Year for 2023 that left absolutely no chance for other heavy-lifters likeThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomandAlan Wake 2? And I probably should wait for a bit more. During the holiday season, though, I almost gave up and ventured into the Forgotten Realms on my Xbox. I say ‘almost’ because there’s some buzz about this specific version that caught my eye....
