Remember that Trump has a history of not paying his employees. He simply doesn’t give a shit since he’s used to not paying the people who work for him and expect them to bow to his whims.

The stock market’s built more around feeling than data anyway.

Yes and no...Memory and HDs. I’ll agree with that. But CPUs, changing out motherboards, etc? It’s not needed. There’s a reason that Macs can last longer in the market than a PC (My father has a 10 year old iMac that only JUST recently stopped being able to update to the latest OS), and that’s due to limited hardware.…

Apple spent a record-breaking $11B+ on research and development in 2018. So the assertion that there is nothing exciting in their future seems at best uninformed speculation and at worst more clickbait b.s. Apple negativity.

Man iTunes used to be SO good and streamlined.  Now it’s so bloated and just sucks!

I can. The autonomous vehicles have killed people and now we’re getting our pound of silicon.

My question is what about the Restorative Justice measures that’s going on in California? How many Black people have cannabis licenses and dispensaries? What about marijuana drug charges being expunged from records and voting rights restored? How many Black people have been release from California jails and prisons…

You’re fucking old man. Or you were buying stinkweed. I was paying $25 an eighth 25 years ago. Or maybe you lived in El Paso.

Because marijuana is not legal at the federal level, it is harder for marijuana businesses to fight their way through all the banking regulations, making them subject to higher fees than most other industries as a result.

To be honest, while I prefer larger over-ear headphones from an audio perspective, I don’t understand how people are comfortable wearing them while working out. A lot of the biggest dudes I see at the gym do it, so it must be working, but I’d just be too distracted by the worry that they’d fall off or something.

A lot of the 2 year upgrades were paid by the cell companies with only about $200 or so paid by the customer.  Now, customers are paying monthly for their phones.  After 2 years or 30 months of payments, people want to have some months with a lower bill.  It took me 4 years to upgrade to the Xs.  Might have been…

I think your purchase cycle is more than anecdotal. I just got my wife and kids the XR for Christmas and that is likely the phone they will have for at least 3 years if not 4, as they just had their 6s’s for 3 years. No more 2 year upgrade cycle for more and more people. I got an 8+ last year and I’m having a hard…

I’m not sold on HomePod yet but with Siri functionality (and Hey Siri) I have a feeling Apple will keep up on the smart home stuff.

Yeah, I think we’re seeing a lengthening upgrade cycle, just like we have for other computers. It used to be a 2 year old computer felt ancient, but now you can easily stretch it to 4 or more years. Of course, devices lasting 33% longer means 33% less profit (or thereabout). People that buy Apple devices are still…

Earlier this year, I bought the X and the Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular and an iPad Pro (I previously owned the 6+ and iPad Air 2).

This is what is going to make it difficult for Apple. If smartphones become a commodity device how does apple differentiate itself? By price? Good luck with that. I honestly have no idea what is going to happen but as a very satisfied Apple user, I wish them good luck.

Now we can be 30 mins late instead of 50 mins to our functions!

I’m also down for George RR Martin opening a food truck with the kid who plays Hot Pie, and it becomes a reality show following their adventures selling direwolf-shaped breads and cookies...learning a bit more about themselves along the way. 

Ultimately, if they fail to live up their responsibilities under the arbitration clause, that may be grounds for a court to allow the drivers to file a lawsuit.
