  1. Re: What's the problem here? on Apple's New iPhones May Miss Out On Higher-Speed Data Links (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, it is like being able to make a quick lane change in that high end sports car. Fast very responsive small/medium data transfers. It isn't surprising to see Apple fans in here pooh-poohing it. They won't be having it soon.

  2. Re: So... the time has come... on Tim Cook Takes Swipe at Windows During MIT Commencement (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple's whole culture is based in being a minority player. A company with products more expensive than the market average. In personal computers they have never wanted to be the majority player. They foster an elite customer base by intent. That way they can charge significantly more with higher margins.

    Windows has granular permissions. Not a primative 1970's all-or-nothing security model.

    Everybody seems to forget that LBJ was President for awhile. In the era of Hoover's greatest power. It makes Comey seem extremely likable by comparison. It's really a shame the Democrats aren't forced to wear LBJ more prominently.

    If he is as successful in exonerating Trump I can already hear the teeth grinding. (Is there a big Denture company out there we should invest in for our retirements?)

    Some of us work for bosses who are plain nuts. I like Trump being President, but I work for a boss who is a right wing jackass nut. It's best to just not bring up politics at work.

    Investigations are good. They vent out the gasses that otherwise inflate conspiracy theories. When everything is known, and complicity has been disproven, a whole lot of people can shut the fuck up.

    They won't, of course, but we can dream.

    That screeching sound of metal scraping metal as the frame of the structure collapses. It's discordian but some of us enjoy discordian music. Varese, Schoenberg, even Throbbing Gristle.

    The investigation should prove interesting. And if it ends up revealing a DNC insider was involved it might even prove delicious. Flamethrowing pundits is refreshing to witness.

    Similarly, Obama's Nobel Prize was not for anything he had done. I am certain that the people given hope by Trump's potential are terrifying to the political elite. Thus the shrieking that we witness daily. Which is hopefully the indication of a fever breaking.

    I'm not sure what those critters will do when they've been tossed out. I suppose there is always a role for used car salesman and telephone sanitizers. Can we load them on the ship?

    So Trump can be gracious at times, and it counfounds you. Did you have anything important to say?

  14. Re: Still, no... on Apple Announces Its 'Next Breakthrough' Product: the HomePod (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    People pay 70% more for something nebulous ("privacy") that Apple likely isn't even providing in the instances where it matters.

    Apple wants to sell mostly to medium-grade customers: upper middle class so they can pay for the fat margins, but not too smart or they'd figure the scam out. People at the pinnacle of Murphy's Law who have reached their income plateau and can buy lotsa overpriced junk because the marketing guy says they are smart doing so.

    The age of 21 would be a horrible time to be making a decision of that gravity. Many people are hot-headed idiots at that stage of their life.

  20. Re: Employees fired by Trump: on Trump Fires FBI Director James Comey (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    The fact that there is a high cost to Trump in firing Comey leads oneâ to believe Trump is pretty confident the neo-Benghazi "Russiagate" adventure will lead nowhere.

    It's Trump showing confidence that he is innocent.

    Pundits will of course say Trump is just too narcissistic to be sensible, and his personality will lead to his undoing, but it's their perogative to act as they wish. If lichen and goo from the fever swamp is all over their face and distorting how they see things, it's their perogative to blunder about fuming as they wish.

    "An FBI Director" does not investigate for treason. The whole FBI organization does that sort of thing. You can still have your left version of the Benghazi adventure, but it involves more than one person leading the witch-hunt.
