From their GoFundMe:

does apple owe the world free access to an app store that costs money to maintain, operate, and innovate on?

It’s a fine line between stupid and clever, MickPaddy. A fine line...

Correct: crApple owns 40% of the US smartphone market (and 100% of the Sheeple market). Of course, the entire point of this post is that Amazon does not need to bend its knee, as you eloquently suggested, misplaced punctuation aside - their Apple-based eBook sales are doing just fine without the need for knee pads.

2017 eBook sales estimate: $1.65B

Exactly.

Psssh. Stupid Apple Fansheeple. You’d NEVER see a Google Tribe Member risk their life stopping idiot shoplifters at a Google store. Not in a million years.

Dude/Dudette - awesome tip, will do tonight. I think I sorta knew this but forgot when my ADD kicked in during initial tinkering and hey look a squirrel..

“Clunky Phrase” is a perfect descriptor for this devolution of “natural language interaction”. “Hey, Google - tell Harmony to turn the volume up” drives me so bonkers, I refuse to control my TV via voice, instead being relegated to frantically mashing buttons on this damned old fashioned pointer-stick-thingy.

Yup - if you don’t have a media library, it would be darn hard to fill up even 500GB of online storage. I’m from the generation that recorded songs from the radio to a cassette if you could catch them fast enough.. hard for me to let go of “owning the bytes”. That said, along with my TV and Movie ripping habits, I…

My NAS currently holds around 6 TB of data - mostly backed up movies (2.3 TB), DVR’d TV (1.8 TB), security cam footage (1.8 TB), family photos and movies (.5 TB), and misc crap after that. Right now, I only backup our family photos, movies, and financial docs b/c I’m on the 1 TB OneDrive plan. However, I’d really like…

Come on, I know this list is soaked in the Apple koolaid, but you can’t reference Shared Storage without a shout out to Microsoft’s OneDrive service - under $6/month for 1 TB, and under $8.50 for 5 TBs? Plus you get Office?

4th largest city in CO, to be clear.

Well, if we’re going there, can we rename our state just like Long Island Iced Tea did? I vote for COckchain.

No fictional cat list is complete without Lion-O, son of King Claudus and brother of Tygra.

Alex Jones can stick the first amendment up his cockmongering a**hole. Seriously, fuck this guy. And everyone stop wringing hands over “yeah but can we really trust FB and Apple to police the truth..” Stop it already. You all know this dude is doing a disservice to idiots and smarts alike.

Oh my god, this. So much this. I live in a community of Perfects - perfectly behaving, and perfectly judgmental. Their judgement runs a spectrum - they can look down their nose at any parenting “flaw”, noting your child’s apparent lack of exercise, struggles in the classroom, or higher-than-normal absenteeism; but…

Fucking brilliant.
