Reuters: Apple Shrinking iPhone Connector to 19-Pin Port [Rumors]

Reuters: Apple Shrinking iPhone Connector to 19-Pin PortThe idea of Apple ditching the current 30-pin iPhone connection in favor of something smaller has been floating around for some time. Now, Reuters is reporting that the next iPhone will feature a new, 19-pin connection.

Citing those infamous sources familiar with the matter, Reuters suggests that the next iPhone will come with a 19-pin connector at the bottom of the phone, rather than the long-standing 30-pin port. The reason is, according to the sources, "to make room for the earphone moving to the bottom". That tallies with what we've seen in leaked shots of the phone, which have—controversially—shown the 3.5mm headphone socket moved to the bottom of the device.

We don't even need to begin to describe how a shift in connection type would upset some iPhone users, though it would likely make a lot of accessory makers really very happy. One interesting theory has already suggested that a new dock connector might be directly compatible with Micro-USB—but that could just be wishful thinking.

As ever, it's impossible to know how accurate the Reuters rumor is, but evidence is slowly amassing that suggests a change in connection type—whatever form it takes—is looking like a strong possibility. I just hope that, if it happens, the adapters don't suck. [Reuters]

i trying work out how full list of team leaders , team members our tables. including team leaders have no team. we have basic data structure have table person contains our basic person object. people extend table in details table. one of extended pieces of information have team_leader status. have 2 relevant details define this: detail_isteamleader , detail_teamleader . first boolean , defines short list of team leaders. second defines persons team leader (ideally subset). _person table_ person_id person_name _detail table_ detail_id detail_person_id detail_isteamleader detail_teamleader i can team leaders have team using following query: select tl.person_id tlref, tl.person_name tlname, per.person_id perref, per.person_name pername detail left outer join person per on detail.person = per.person_id left outer join person tl on detail_teamleader = tl.person_id order tlname, psname however, fails team_leaders detail.isteamleader true not occur in detail_teamleader...

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this

Upload file with tags through OwnCloud or NextCloud API -

i have database of files tagged. now, upload these files owncloud or nextcloud server , pass on existing tags show tags in respective system. wasnt able yet find way how in documentation, have idea how it? thanks! i made available source code of (remote) file tagging micro-service nextcloud on github ( https://github.com/julianthome/taggy ). implementation consists of 2 parts: 1) taggy client uploading files nextcloud server, , invoking taggy server; 2) taggy server adding specified tags uploaded files. i polish code further within next days. planning add ssl support important because username , password transmitted unencrypted taggy server. server uses these credentials in order check whether user can authenticated before tagging files. please let me know if have other ideas, suggestions or feedback ;) kind regards
