The SC2 single player was pretty weak to be honest. 10 years ago that level of writing would have been considered "good" but the bar has been raised since then and we expect a bit better than hackneyed tropes propped up by stilted language this time around.

Yes. Learn how margins work. A company like Apple becomes and stays a company like Apple because of their discipline about making bets they can win and not running down every rabbit hole they come across just because it happens to be in fashion.

Each layer of complexity you add to your product line adds several layers of complexity to your supply chain. Your margins shrink and your costs balloon and all for very little actual benefit to the customer.

$100 for a cast-iron teapot? My cast-iron skillet cost $20. Plenty of cast-iron cookware is under $40. And they all look good.

I liked reading this manifesto. It's cool to see your vision for the site. Thanks!

I'll never understand why idiots feel so threatened by the fact that other people use Apple products.

It was never built around having as many active apps as it has. It's a nightmare for content discovery. It's impossible to actually find anything unless you know specifically what you're looking for. Apps are hidden within any number of folders that can have redundant names. It's unclear whether you need to install an…

It's weird. I like Android as a concept and as an OS. I HATE it as a thing that gives market power back to the carriers after Apple worked so hard to wrest some of it away.

How does pulling in over 70% of all profits from smartphone sales while not eroding your brand value at all constitute "a rout" Sam?

You realize Ibiza is an actual place right? http://goo.gl/maps/sRIIL

"Don't even feel it in your pocket."

That still doesn't change the fact that these "feats" are utterly useless in 99% of cases.

All of these things would take more work to set-up than they would spare you by having them. And lord forbid you have a day off and don't want your phone to go into work-mode. Or you have to work one weekend and don't want your phone in home-mode.
