Yet another article denigrating detractors as "nerds". I switched right off when I got to that part.
- setpatchaddress 10y agoI think you're misreading it. The author clearly considers himself a nerd.
- dimgl 10y agoOffended? The article is right. We expect Apple to innovate but the power users get mad that they're not keeping things the same. It's like when they switched to Thunderbolt. There was a huge outroar because it wasn't USB 2.0, and then everyone just kind of forgot.

It's also like the time they got rid of floppy drives, firewire, optical drives in laptops, removable batteries in laptops, the headphone jack on the iPhone 7... Apple keeps increasing its revenue every time it does one of these things, which suggests that the complainers represent a small percentage of consumers.
- Gigablah 10y agoGame companies also make a truckload of money when they add more microtransactions to their mobile games. Does that mean it's good for consumers? I'm an Apple customer, not their cheerleader.
