I’m not defending the dictatorship, I’m defending the public who are oppressed by the US-backed dictators. There’s an important distinction you are not getting. Do I have to respond to the rest of your racism?

Saudis are very big on the “don’t imitate other religions” thing, so it’s likely they assumed this moment of silence was a Christian prayer thing and avoided it. NOT that they supported the violence or the deaths.

Enough. The Saudi public was absolutely horrified by 9/11, and the fact that some bastards who happened to be from their country was a massive embarrassment. Muslims died in the towers too, as did Saudis.

I realize everyone is getting out their torches and pitchforks to attack Saudi people again, but I think this is a bit of a misunderstanding. Saudis are very big on the “don’t imitate other religions” thing, so it’s likely they assumed this moment of silence was a Christian prayer thing and avoided it. NOT that they…

It really isn’t that common. Aren’t you creating an army of hypochondriacs with this kind of article?

Short answer: We don’t.

If you want to plead the Fifth then actually plead the Fifth. Otherwise, you swear to tell “the truth, the WHOLE truth, and NOTHING BUT the truth.”

Apple admitted that this is what their users wanted, they messed up and apologized this year, and said a new “modular” Mac Pro is coming next year.

It doesn’t have to be a “gotcha” moment. It’s probably like when John Dean testified to Congress and dropped that Nixon had tapes of all his conversations. That was a big scoop, and shifted the investigation.

Remember how Trump dropped out of the 2016 Presidential race? He made a rambling statement that although he totally could win against Romney AND Obama, he didn’t feel like doing it anymore. Watch for that to be his message when he doesn’t run for re-election.

Then SAY that. It would be a fair response. Just like how SCOTUS nominees dodge questions by saying they cannot pre-judge cases or compromise their nonpartisanship.

I agree with you that Trump himself is probably innocent. However, there’s enough evidence to see that the Russian government did cultivate assets within his campaign, and if Trump himself wasn’t an agent his staffers were, whether he knew it or not. It’s not letting him off the hook, he should have been competent…

Well, it requires a fingerprint or passcode to work every time, so not as bad as losing your wallet.

Apple has explicitly stated in the WWDC keynote that the device listens for the trigger word, but no data is recorded or leaves the device until triggered. And the data sent is encrypted and anonymized.

Don’t know if you watched the WWDC keynote, but they opened the OS up substantially to customization. You can configure control center, you can layer apps on top of other apps. They put a lot of macOS features into the iPad now. And no, you can run enterprise apps on iOS or sideload your own.

Well, not yet anyway. iOS 11 is months away from release.

Would Trump fire them too? Or would it make him look more guilty? Edit: never mind, he fired Comey on a flimsy pretext.

What a cowardly response. You’re under oath and it’s a yes-no question. What do you mean you’re “not prepared to answer?” It used to be you’d get locked up until you were “prepared” to answer that.

USB-C is a lot thicker than lightning. They did it for numerous reasons, this was not a plot to make you suffer and pay more money.

But it’s not true. Apple’s HomePod is cheaper than competing WiFi and smart speakers. It’s not “spying on you,” since nothing is transmitted unless “Hey Siri” is triggered and the data is anonymized. Sonos WAS preferred, we’ll see what happens when this gets released. What “truth” are you defending by the author? Come…
