Shake-up at Apple: Forstall Out; iOS Executive Fired For Maps Debacle?
New submitter noh8rz10 writes "Apple's Scott Forstall, who grew iOS from its inception, is departing the company. Rumors say it's because of the Maps debacle, and problems with Siri as well. Jony Ive is taking a larger human interface role, which means he may kill the skeuomorphic interfaces he hates. John Browett, head of retail, is out as well; he never won the trust of the community. What does such a major shakeup say about Tim Cook's leadership?"
Hey, quit saying "skeuomorphic" in there!
This reads like a Stalinist missive regarding the liquidation of some member of the Politburo.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
[Apple] Oh, and we trust you'll shut down that silly little Android thing you've been doing.
They have so much money it's sinking the ship.
From the pictures I saw, I know of one ship (if you can call it that) that should be sunk.
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
To be fair, nukes don't so much sink ships as move the surrounding ocean above them.
I read TFA and all I got was this lousy cookie
"The iShip is syncing..."
I've seen people click on the floppy disk icon, navigate to their file, and click OK when they want to load something from the disk. The glistening of their eyes and the little quiver they get in their lower lip when I tell them that they've just wiped out all of their work... well, there's no putting a price on some aspects of my job.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
We apologize again for the faults in iOS 6. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
To technical people, the average /.er, the computer is a tool. You code something, the computer does it.
Well said. But consider that to average people, the average /.er is a tool.
