    Apple’s ads failing, says firm that called Surface ads effective – CNET Mobile As I shed a large, lugubrious tear for Cupertino, I suddenly remembered where I’d heard about Ace Metrix before. This is the company that declared Microsoft’s original Surface ads demolished Apple’s work in terms of effectiveness. Yes, that snappy, unforgettable opus with teenagers in little skirts, cavorting with Surfaces, scored a 674. The only odd ...

    The feature is reportedly accurate enough, but can be a little repetitive to control your iPhone or iPad with left or right head movements since it cycles through all of the options on your screen and you move your head when it borders around the option you want. You can also use left and right head movements to act as a home button, start Siri, ...
