    I would have bought one myself, if it could play my Wii games.

    How would that all be practical in a handheld console that wasn't massively large?

  11. Cool story, but the claim was he “NEVER allowed this product to go out unless it was as good or better than the competition” and that is patently false. MobileMe being a prime example.

  13. but Jobs would of NEVER allowed this product to go out unless it was as good or better than the competition.

    So then how do you explain, for example, MobileMe that Jobs had to later apologize for? And that’s just one example out a number of failed and bad product launches under his watch.

    But there's nothing preventing someone from putting a dozen other, different ones, on their car as long as the legit one is displayed (free speech!).

    Except state laws?

    For example here is the law around license plates in my state:

    (a)A person commits an offense if the person attaches to or displays on a motor vehicle a license plate that:

    (1)is issued for a different motor vehicle;

    (2)is issued for the vehicle under any other motor vehicle law other than by the department;

    (3)is assigned for a registration period other than the registration period in effect;

    (4)is fictitious;

    (5)has blurring or reflective matter that significantly impairs the readability of the name of the state in which the vehicle is registered or the letters or numbers of the license plate number at any time;

    (6)has an attached illuminated device or sticker, decal, emblem, or other insignia that is not authorized by law and that interferes with the readability of the letters or numbers of the license plate number or the name of the state in which the vehicle is registered; or

    (7)has a coating, covering, protective substance, or other material that:

    So since you can't legally get multiple valid license plates for your car and thus you would either have fictitious license plates or ones that were issued for a different vehicle which violates the law.

    HEIF is not an Apple format. Apple only got involved with it years after it was standardized by MPEG in 2015.

    Although speed has been used in ranking for some time, that signal was focused on desktop searches. Today we’re announcing that starting in July 2018, page speed will be a ranking factor for mobile searches.
