"We’ll continue to measure our contributions in the lives we change, the connections we foster, and the work we do to leave the world a better place."
Maybe someone can leak the work they do to leave the world a better place because they have been real good at keeping that secret.

- geofft 5y agoThe fact that you're re-enacting https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/ https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/ aside, the comment was about the clause about making the world a better place, not the clause about fostering connections. (And even for that clause, if the extent of fostering is that they have a web browser based on Konqueror and a network stack based on BSD that lets you connect to Hacker News, it's not clear how much credit should be ascribed to Apple for it.)

- johnnyanmac 5y agoPoint taken, but to be fair on their end; their design philosophy for phones ushered a phenomenon where we have access to millenia of information gathered through Eons of research at any place with a phone connection, in a form factor that makes it easy and convenient to carry and consume. These devices can also transmit video or audio in real time to anyone in the world (again, with a connection) with services not tied down by international toll booths. It's the most Star Trek like thing that has been achieved in the real world since the cell phone itself was invented. Google picked up the lower end slack and made these devices available in even some 2nd world countries, but Apple did pave a way.
- CheezeIt 5y agoAnd you’re complaining about what? That the productive 10% are doing useful stuff for each other, making their lives better?
