Yea, but “give the finger to [insert Apple manager here]” makes for the much more baity headline among Apple haters. “Pay homage to Jony Ive” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Spot on. Thanks for that comment.

Interesting comment. How would you say does the targeting on facebook compare to it’s main rival, Google? Google obviously has the same business model, as they still make 98% or so of their money with data mining, with companies and advertisers as customers (although they were able to market themselves much more…

If I were President, I would have streamlined the military budget and invested all the saved money into AI R&D. Seems like an obvious move at this point. AI clearly has the potential to the next nuclear bomb, not Trump’s stupid space force.

Lol, the base model Tesla Roadster does 0-60 ind 1.9s flat. And it’s only $200k, instead of $4.4m. Ok, it will only start shipping a year from now, but still...

“Apple has long cultivated a base of die-hard fans obsessed with the aesthetics of their hardware. Just look at how many iPhone users are willing to live with a big notch on their screen just so they can own the latest and greatest version of Apple’s smartphone.”

Facebook, just like Google, has a business model entirely based on data collection. What did people expect?

You know you can deactivate auto updates right? So basically you just gave a 4 paragraph rant on a problem you evidently caused yourself. also, it’s solvable cause you can easily download old macOS versions. But in this Apple-hating environment of course this gets 12 likes. Whatever...

Lol, I ditched Windows and Android some time ago. 100 times happier on Apple’s platforms. Not going back.

I find the quote from Denise Young Smith not at all scandalous. In fact I find it very sensible. Why is it ok to act as if all white men are the same? On that basis, can I claim all black men are the same? Or all Chinese women are the same? I believe true diversity means much more than just having all colours in your…

Google is the new Microsoft of the ‘90/’00. With the only difference that Microsoft was openly evil until they landed in federal court. Google is playing it much smarter, trying to stir up anti-Apple sentiment to distract from the fact that they make 100% of their money with your data and will intrude your privacy…

And that’s fair enough, bc family conglomerates like Samsung negotiate custom tax deals with their governments. Samsung makes up for around 25% of the Korean GDP, so they are in a strong position to bully their president into granting tax breaks. This isn’t possible in the US. Even Apple is only 1% of the US GDP.

Nah, Steve Jobs never really cared about the whole money side of the business. He just knew the corner stones but otherwise relied on his crew here. That showed for example during the backdating scandal in 2008. Just like then, even with Steve Jobs still alive Apple would probably have to pay up.

Maxed out MacBook Pro is around $500 cheaper. How is that an equal pricing?

The only thing that’s hilarious is that the top voted comment under a blog post entirely about a high end Microsoft product is OF COURSE some anti-Apple spam. Classic. Seems the anti-Apple guerrilla marketing tactics are working.

I remember when they had ‘beaten’ TouchID by reconstructing a 3D fingerprint based on a fingers photo. Kewl stuff. Real world cases where this possibility was exploited: 0.

Wake up. Google is one of the most vicious, slimiest companies out there. Yea I know they are everyone’s darling and the internet loves them. Doesn’t change the fact, that they are taking money from conspiracy theorists, the alt-right and foreign powers for a living. Google’s business are ads, not search. Google’s…

“@Google fails to serve its customers when it recommends alt-right conspiracy theorists as legit info sources in the aftermath of a tragedy.”

Yea, like the Samsung S9, because they will copy Apple again.
