See the Press Release HERE

(We still on the 10th, not 11th lol)

Other than the super sexy logo, what you think about this name?

(I repost it here now that it is official because I don't think the New Post is a good place to get long discussions as it will rapidly fall into oblivion in 24H and anyway, it belong to Hardware Hangout)

Your sig would look better with anti-aliased round edges, Nienor. Back on topic, anyway, I find Core i7 to be a very lame name, it has no punch, no meaning, no emotion, but at least it's not as confusing as Core 2 Duo. I can't count the number of times I had to explain the difference between a dual-core and a Core Duo. But it was a smart move because people would assume dual-core CPUs WERE Core 2 Duos and nothing else, just like most people assume Internet Explorer IS the Internet, just because it has Internet in the name.

Possible that Apple demanded it or something? the i and all... and MS demanded the 7 :o

No, Intel's been using the "i" for years.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
