1) No need to be an asshole.

Which is why this move is most likely a good thing. Have one person dedicated to industrial design, and one dedicated to UI design. Jony still gets input, but he’s no longer pulled in two different directions - one of which is not even his specialty.
He oversees a small, hand-picked design group. He’s probably not physically sitting at a computer on Auto-CAD designing these things, but he tells his people want he wants, and probably gets final say in most of it.
A better success? Apple sold more watches on the first weekend than every other smartwatch combined sold in the entire 2014 year. And that was just online, before they started selling them in the stores.
I must be the only one whose body isn’t affected by whether or not I drink coffee in the morning. I drink it most mornings because I like it, but I’m not less alert or less awake on mornings where I skip it. And on mornings where I do drink it, it’s usually about 2 hours after I wake up, just because I make it to take…
It’s just the egg whites now.
I don’t think that’s up to Microsoft. Google and Apple would have to integrate that functionality, which they’re not likely to do.
If you really believe some people didn’t say things like that in the early 80’s, you weren’t paying attention. I know it was said, because I’ve seen it said. And I really don’t care to, nor have time to, look through old magazine or newspaper articles on the subject just to make you happy. I’ve read those articles…
Ever hear of anecdotal evidence? Just because that was your personal experience, doesn’t mean everyone was saying that. I never said everyone said that, just as not everyone is denying electric cars will someday become common. There were plenty of pessimists in the early-mid 80’s about how common computers would be.…
Sansa is on of my least favorite characters. She’s the only character in the show who is completely incapable of making decisions or taking care of herself in any way. Every story arc has her under complete control of someone else. And the few decisions she has made, are ones that she was pressured into making by…
Plenty of people did. Just go look at old articles. PCs received very mixed reviews on whether or not they’d catch on in the mass consumer market. Many people thought Bill Gates was crazy trying to get a computer in every household. They were an “expensive” and “very niche” product.
I think the difference now is demand. People are becoming more and more environmentally conscience, and so are many corporations. It’s getting to the point where it doesn’t matter if combustion engines are getting better - if more people are demanding something different, companies will put more R&D into something…
We’ve had no real incentive to produce great batteries for cars because gas was so efficient and cheap. It’s not that we couldn’t, it’s that no car company really cared to. Teslas can travel 300 miles on a charge. When has that ever been possible on a fully battery powered, mass-produced vehicle? It’s only going to…
“As Thomas Bartman argues in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla’s electric vehicles are never going to catch on in a big way. The high price point and inability to scale will not help the manufacturer make its way into most of the world’s garages.”
The movie is about 80% practical effects. There’s CGI, but not nearly to the extent we normally see in modern movies.
Eh. Youtube is an alternative, not a replacement.
“Anyway, I also know some people (on Macs) who switched to Safari and were much happier with the battery life and overall speed.”
Yup. I seriously doubt Apple is building a car either. Maybe for internal use, but not for mass production.
I really want to like Spotify, but why the hell do they keep adding stuff before fixing what they already have? Compared to pretty much every other streaming service, Spotify is a bloated and disorganized mess.
