When you say “fully” what do you mean? Via accessibility settings, iPad already supports pointing devices.

I don’t want to meet the IT professional who thinks a $229 iPad mini is a better Ed purchase than a $229 chromebook.

That was a LOT of drunken partying on camera for Ja Rule. Are we supposed to believe he just thought Billy was paying these massive production and social teams, the world’s most in-demand super models, rented villas, jet skis, booze, etc. out of his own pocket?

Jesus. I’m pretty sure the out the door on my ‘17 mbp15" was like $3500. Always hurts to see that price drop, but then gradually feels a lot better the older the computer gets and is still ticking along without issue. I’m sure it has a solid 4-5 years ahead of it before I need to think about another upgrade.

You rejected it because you somehow know better than the greater business press . . . and Giz.

Apple’s entire finance department missing their projections by FIVE BILLION DOLLARS means that their models and studies were HUGELY fucked.

Fucking SNORE (your comment).

Projections are based on external factors Apple doesn’t control, so I’m not sure your Sky Is Falling take on a 5% variance is warranted.

Lol how are they meaningfully useful if they haven’t caught on in the mainstream? Reading comprehension much?

It “filters down” because publications like Gizmodo write about it. Who cares if investors are mad they’re not getting earth-shattering returns as long as the product is good and people keep buying it.

Good.

Lmao, no, that was the same article as this week just with a different headline.

It would be even easier, if one were a writer writing about the practice, to just ask the question. 

I would assume. And then a writer, who’s actually investigating the practice to write about it, could actually ask the question and find out.

I like how you took issue with me so you could argue the exact same thing that I’m arguing, which is that neither beacons nor QR codes are meaningfully useful.

Duh I’m not new to lithium batteries or Apple products.

You’re a good writer. And you’re a senior editor. Can you please do something more than carrying water for investors? Do giz readers care—literally at all—about whether Apple misses internal or investor benchmarks for earnings?
