iOS 9 could be a step toward saving the tablet market
Earlier this week, I laid out some ideas on what Apple needs to do inject new life into the fading tablet category. It seems that Apple was already on track with at least part of my message. "For many, the iPad is the primary computer," Apple's senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi noted at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference keynote yesterday.See also: 5 ways Apple should re-invent the iPad To help out those people, who I think represent the future of the tablet market, the company delivered on a couple of the things I asked for. As many observers expected, Apple announced split screen and picture-in-picture functionality in iOS 9, as well as a new software keyboard that can also work a trackpad.

Wi-Fi signals can do rough head counts
We’re all walking around in a soup of Wi-Fi signals, but researchers say they can be put to another use—counting people.When people cross the path of a Wi-Fi signal, it weakens somewhat. That effect can be measured and provide a rough head count, according to researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).The technology could be used for applications such as making buildings more energy efficient by adjusting the temperature according to the number of people inside.In a series of simple experiments, a Wi-Fi router and receiver on two Pioneer 3-AT wheeled robots were placed on either side of areas indoors and outdoors. A number of people walked around the area, weakening the Wi-Fi signals going from one robot to the other. The people didn’t carry any communication equipment.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
