I don't think they ever said copy/paste was unnecessary, although it mostly was in iOS 1.

It's an unfair bet as you have (almost) complete control of the outcome. How about he wins if >50% of smartphones sold in the U.S. in 2026 lack 3.5mm headphone ports. I'd personally bet $10k against you/OP on this.

I never got the appeal. I can type extremely fast on my MBP and would rather not carry around a keyboard. What would a mechanical keyboard offer me? Seems to me the writer simply got bored of Apple and wants something less ubiquitous to eva

People don't use as many ports as you think they do.

I agree they won't change so soon, but I just realized there have been as many lightning models as 30 pin models.

After spending half an hour reading the article I feared the comments would be like this. The concepts here are fantastic. Unfortunately, as intelligent as they are, many in this industry seem to have difficulty grasping the benefit of user

That subtitles idea is brilliant. I think it's against the guidelines but I'm sure someone will do it.

If you're questioning things that much, why have keyboard shortcuts at all? >Anything with sliders, precision will not be fun on that. Why wouldn't it offer precision? People do the same with trackpads right now. And multitouch

"Why do I want to keep looking down to be sure the TouchBar has the keys I expect?" How far are you looking down? I have to make more of an effort to look up to the menu bar than to look down at the function keys. The touch bar lo

How is it bullying any more than if you were to complain about him being too social? Your perceived antisociality could be almost as bothersome to him as his sociability is to you. I don't mean to dismiss your concern, and I can rela

I agree it's not a complete security solution, but it's certainly a good baseline if nothing else. >The main thing is slapping a little homekit badge on the packaging and slightly tigher integration with siri. It's integra

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

MFi isn't too limited. You must just apply and meet certain standards. The benefit is you have access to a huge market (iOS users). What's wrong with this approach? Imagine the PR disaster if this DDoS attack was caused by HomeKit

I'm not sure what point you're making. Which devices are those?

Misleading title. You can't compare sales from the Apple Watch's initial release with the months leading up to a new model. If you take Apple out of the picture sales stay pretty steady. Samsung grows a little, Garmin grows a lot.

Perhaps he meant to say the BBC made that choice for that reason. Not that they're necessarily right to do so. Or perhaps seconds are relevant in the way sound was broadcast.

Meaning can give you a sense of wellbeing but it's considered to be separate from "happiness". [1] E.g., parents rate relatively low on happiness yet are still "happy" that they have children. They have a sense of

You're conflating happiness with meaning.

Really? Then what's the role of the parent?

Why should they? If you take a Note 7 onto a plane that's on you. Your idea would shift the disincentive not to fly with a Note 7 away from the passenger.

There's certainly a significant overlap between people who fly and people who buy flagship Samsung phones.

>Why would you need to say you're using ActiveRecord or Ruby if you said you're using Rails? Exactly. "Rails" implies all of those other components. That's my point. And your stack is relevant. I'm curious w

But LAMP hasn't become outdated in 2-3 years. It has been steadily dating for a long time. If your school taught you LAMP as "current" then that is the issue here.
