It’s an FAQ. It tells you precisely nothing about anything. Don’t be stupid, don’t be conspiracy mongering please. Why is this trash up there? It’s insane that this crap is seen as a valuable contribution.

A. Relevance?! B. “That chick” is quite successful, plus people actually like that game, you know. Even if you really dislike free-to-play what she does is no more morally repugnant than what many startups do.

Very popular without a big marketing campaign. It can also only be used to describe things that are still relatively new. That would be my definition of viral (or the way I perceive that word being commonly used today). That Serial is just

That’s image retention, not burn in. It’s not permanent, though still very annoying. Do you have the 2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro? Some of those (those with LG screens) were suffering horribly from image retention. I got the screen exch

And that’s called racism. Doesn’t have to be intentional. Doesn’t have to be an evil police officer twirling their mustache.

Which podcast doesn’t just let you download the file? I just checked all I’m subscribed to and they all just let me download the file, no problem. Subscribing just makes it much more practical and persistent. There is no need for extra apps

That would burn through my data volume real quick … (some podcast clients do allow you to stream without subscribing or downloading, but I really don’t see the big difference).

It’s hard to judge the Apple Watch, but from their promotional photos it clearly looks like a watch. I really don’t see the discrepancy.

I think it’s just the Hype Cycle and we are now well on our way, up the Slope of Enlightenment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle Podcasts are growing up. Access to them is easier than ever before. With mobile ph

The materials and build quality look like total crap, to be honest. That’s phone level care, not watch level. There doesn’t seem to have been put any care at all into the details of this watch. On a micro level this watch is about a billion

by arrrg 12y ago
Yeah, but in that context this watch makes no sense. Its materials are cheap and it just is this obviously cheap device, build of a mobile phone, not an expensive watch. Just look at the back of this thing! This is so obviously a tech gadge

Is it really so hard to believe that he might just be religious? Jesus Christ, atheists are the worst (as can be seen here in this thread). And I say that as an atheist …

Hey, how awesome of you to drag stereotypes into this … If you had read the article it should become quite clear to you why quite a few people knew and some people even wrote about it. Since in general journalists will avoid to publish th

If you enable documents in the cloud (now iCloud Drive, I think) document based apps will pick that location as the default location to save to. Autosave has long been a feature, so that happens, too. It all makes perfect sense and is perfe

Treating people like shit is not cool. And that’s all that needs to be said about this, really. It’s not ok to treat people worse because of their weight.

What…? Blowing the whistle on illegal behaviour is generally not considered unethical. The relationship to the other person or organisation doesn’t really matter.

Well … I don’t think you can underestimate the threat of throwing Hungary out of the EU. But it’s also a politically risky move (there are large groups of people – maybe not majorities, but large groups – in many EU countries who do want ou

Dude, calm down. Human rights violations absolutely have to be sanctioned, sure, but transparently and above board. To be honest, at a certain point I'm fully in favor of tossing Hungary out of the EU (it's no place for authoritar

2.6 + 2.6 / 2 = 2.6 * 1.5 = 2.6 + 1.3 = 3.9 < 4.2 “Half again” something means 1.5 times something.

Hey, I didn’t want to suggest it’s about squeezing money. You are certainly correct, Apple is much more directly involved with in-app purchases, so they also take much more ownership and responsibility for it. (Though I would also argue tha

Well, I think it’s more complicated than that. What I do enjoy about the Mac are these small indie devs, selling their software at relatively high prices (read: $50 instead of $3). The Mac doesn’t have all the software, but it has some real

iPads aren’t doing so well, worse than analysts expected (but we have known this now for quite some time so it isn’t exactly a surprise). Everything else is pretty much above analyst expectations, weirdly enough, even the iPod (who still bu

That makes no sense to me to be honest. I really don’t understand this attitude, even on a basic level.

For in-app purchases Apple collects their 30%, for Apple Pay substantially less. That’s what this comes down to. In think it more or less comes down to this: If you buy something you (potentially) use inside the app (an ebook, access to som

Why would you expect Safari to not communicate with the web? I'm mystified by this attitude.

Of course. However, the term entered general usage during the last decade or so.

It’s not “fixing” anything. It’s changing a preference people can have different opinions about.

The links are rather the points, as is the background info. If that’s not for you that’s great, no problem, but really, you seem to fundamentally misunderstand why people like this.

Don’t both MacBook Pro and Mac Pro have multiple Thunderbolt ports? Don’t those work as separate DisplayPorts? At least on the Mac Pro?

The 5k display would be more versatile, however. Well, I guess that’s relative to … I can understand why Apple is not in a hurry to sell this just as a display. This display could likely not be driven at all by all of their most popular Mac
