Yeah I don’t understand why (besides for clicks) that Gizmodo is going so hard after Apple for this. A bug was found, a temporary fix was implemented last night if I’m not mistaken (Apple disabled Group Facetime server-side) and a patch will be released later this week.

Things that seem glaringly obvious are often very hard to test for. Unless you’ve worked QA, it’s unfair to criticize them for missing this.

You’re completely right. People are trying to crucify Apple over something they did not do intentionally, and yet a lot of these same people are probably posting their outrage from their Huawei phones.

I don’t even think you’re downplaying it.  I’m sure 99.9% of these people complaining about it haven’t even been a victim, and by Friday we’ll have a patch.  Bugs exist, unless you don’t want to use technology then mentally prepare for more bugs, more breaches, etc.

I’m not trying to downplay the seriousness of the Facetime bug, but I think you’re misrepresenting it. Privacy issues are most serious when a company knowingly sells your user data (especially not anonymously) for profit. The FaceTime bug is a BUG. It’s obviously not an intentional bug meant to profit Apple in any…

Wouldn’t be the DCEU without someone having a drinking problem!

No, we are comparing those movies that won next to those they were nominated with. Just like we are comparing Black Panther next to the other movies nominated with it. What we can infer is that not always the best movie wins each year. Or sometimes 2 really good movies cancel each other out and the 3rd best movie…

I saw and loved Incredibles 2 and Ralph 2, but Into the Spider-Verse definitely should win.

Look, he’s doing everything he can every day to take this country back to the era that made Martin Luther King Jr.’s work necessary, ok?

I’m sure he wishes MLK Jr. the best and hopes he continues doing great things. 

Considering that the road team, Minneapolis Roosevelt High School, has a predominantly black student body and has been staying in the locker room during the national anthem for their previous games, this would seem like more than some good-natured ribbing.

I admire Trump and his team’s ability to successfully push the narrative that supporting Trump = supporting America. It is so far removed from reality that having to explain it to someone is almost more trouble than it is worth. 

“Which bone is most likely to be infected with racism? Femur? Rib? Have medical professionals ever confirmed the existence of a racist bone?”

Those guys are going to be really ineffective cops.

This isn’t the (bad) PC/Mac app, it’s just access to your bought stuff. Similar to the TV app on ios devices.

Not to be pedantic, but Apples stock didnt “flash crash” rather its negative preannounce was a catalyst for a risk off move in equity markets overnight, resulting in a flash crash in the USDJPY currency pair

Well, he appealed to disenfranchised GOP voters who have been getting screwed by the GOP for years, making the assertion that the -=real=- reason they were getting screwed was because of brown-skinned people selling drugs and taking jobs and benefits, and the feckless thieving democrats that allowed both that and the…

He certainly knows more about droning on like a fucking idiot than anyone else.

Can you come back and comment once AAPL rebounds?

Hey everyone, I found the guy with no kids.
