Apple looking to support new technology, says blog

No s**t

Apple may be looking to incorporate the latest version of a new technology, the company's many fansites are reporting.

The technology was recently upgraded to deliver greater performance, and while the new version has yet to be formally approved by the relevant standards bodies, the specification is available for use by makers of kit that incorporates the technology.

Apple, for one, offers a wide range of laptop, desktop, smartphone, tablet and peripheral products that could contain the new technology.

Based on what the company has done with previous new technologies, it's a good bet Apple will incorporate this latest new technology in its offerings.

Indeed, one source told us: "As a technology company, we like new technology here, and we like to build new technologies such as the new technology you're referring to into our products.

"I think it's highly likely we will support this new technology. Unless we don't, of course."

In other news, Apple may support 802.11ac, the next generation of Wi-Fi, guesses AppleInsider. ®

You know those times where you sit down and write big long email or letter to someone, and about 3/4 of the way through, you look at it and go "Why the frap am I even writing this?".

Did the author not do a similar thing? Or was it a slow news day / coming up to payday and someone needs to justify a word count to the beancounters before beer money is shelled out?

Or was this a bit of a BBC article, in it "for teh clickz"?

Missed the point? There wasn't one, aside from another page to add some more advertising viewing. And if the point was that there was no point, then there was no point in pointing out that there was no point, because obviously, there is no point.

"Am I the only one that fails to see any news in this article? If you are going to mention fansites at least provide some links to back up your "journalism"!"

You Sir are either a humorless moron, or a clueless Yank.

It's called taking the piss. Now begone with your inane prattle.
