Voice control is not automation, you just replace using your mouse/keyboard to perform actions with using your voice to perform them, but you still have to do each one. Automation is having the computer perform multiple seemingly disco

You can custom order a 12 core Mac Pro from the Apple Store.

The problem with this article is that Marco presents a rational argument for the need of a Mac Pro, but Apple is way past rationality in their view of the future; they are engaged in a holy war against local computing , against ports, wi

But the cars on those competitions are not truly race cars, at least not in the way a normal person would imagine a race car. In fact, homologations rules are in place to prevent true race cars from competing. F1 and LMP race cars are not

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but if that Zoolander phone were real, the battery on it might not even last a day.

You don't need to understand anything, you just need to accept that not all people are like you. Some prefer pepsi(ugh), some like red, some enjoy winter more. And some like using a Mac. Why you are trying to group everybody together i

I don't know if you would count this as innovations, but magsafe, the glass trackpad still ahead of anything else and the full unibody enclosure in my mind are clear innovations that made a mac a much better alternative than the compet

Not op but this is my experience. I mainly use macOS but use Linux occasionally. First, the argument against third party software to me is irrelevant, after all I use macOS and not, say iOS, because you can install these kinds of applicat

Are you seriously suggesting that their teams of cpu engineers, battery engineers, material engineers, wireless engineers and electric engineers, among many, many others, don't have the chops required to design, build and manage the co

Don't get me wrong, there are failures, Ping, or MobileMe being some examples, but I think that is the result of not trying (and learning) enough. For example, it is said when designing the iPhone they tested (tried) two different op

I don't call this events failures, I call them tries . And many, many tries are required to learn and create a single success. But maybe that is why I'm no analyst .

It only looks easier because all the hard work went into creating a desirable combination of os-hardware that they could control.

by redial 10y ago
That's the thing, there is no advantage. But there certainly is an advantage going from ~24mm (original titanium powerbook) to ~13mm (macbook 12). And we only got here by reducing 1mm at a time.

The second camera on the iPhone 7 Plus is ~58mm I believe, but it lacks OIS and the lens is a slower f2.8.

I think not, given Tim Cook's recent comments. They are much more interested in AR than VR. http://mashable.com/2016/10/03/tim-cook-augmented-reality/#Z...

I now get what you are saying, thanks for the clarification. I agree with you, democracy can be traced to the British, and further back to the Romans, and even the Greeks, but it wasn't until the French Revolution that the core concept

Does that even matter? Democracy does not make you inmune to the rest of the world. Democracy is not only an idea and if you want to claim its robustness you have to make sure it is able to cope, in practice, with internal and external oppo

We are in agreement then, democracies can fall for lots of reasons. They also have the potential to be very successful. My point is democracy as it stands today is very young and if you only compare it against the failed attempts of Communi

If we follow your example then no one really has a true democracy yet, after all in most countries people under 18 (or 21 or whatever age they use) are not allowed to vote. This might be considered barbaric in the future. You are confusing

The Industrial Revolution was a factor in the uptake of democracy, sure. Just as WWI, WWII and the Cold War were. But it all started in 1776 in the US with the Declaration of Independence and in the 1790s with the French Revolution, which
