    Oh, another Trumpkin who thinks Trump is a Jesus like beacon of morality and honesty in a dark swamp of corruption.

    No, I consider Trump to be something unpleasant but useful. He's the Drano of politics. Nobody wants a glass of Drano on the dinner table, but if you keep a bottle of it under the sink you can use it flush all kinds of unpleasant shit and scum away.

    So AOL was less closed and proprietary than Apple News is going to be.

    Eventually the Apple brand will be something that's slapped on all sorts of third rate products. Packard-Bell was an electronics company with a good reputation in the past. The brand was valuable with older people who remembered it from their youth. Polaroid and RCA are other 'brands' that are in the recycle phase and get slapped on lower-end electronic gadgets at this point in their deterioration. Apple has a valuable brand and they're working hard to come up with ways to expand that brand. Eventually it flares out though. Is there a shitty Apple coffee maker in your grandchildren's future? Probably.

  5. Apple is the Scientology of the electronic gadget business.

    They are in the cash-in phase. Eventually there will be all kinds of shit branded Apple. Like the lowest-end Android tablets which get branded Polaroid and RCA, two other famous brands.

  6. Apple spawned the Windows juggernaut. By suing all of Microsoft's GUI competitors (for MS-DOS machines there was GEM, Geoworks, etc.) out of business, and then losing the touch-and-feel lawsuit against Microsoft.

    Yes, Apple literally spawned the Windows ecosystem, with the litigious bullshit that has ALWAYS been a major part of their business model.

    Branding is a rarified and less respectable form of intellectual property. And it's what Apple mainly leans on.

    So what you're saying is, Apple News is more like AOL from the old days.

  9. It's an excuse they've come up with to experiment with drone delivery. People don't especially want noisy buzz things flying around above them regularly.

    But since it's for teh medical, it must be good. Nice trick, UPS.

    Apple quit being a computer company ages ago when they took 'computer' out of the company name. They're a gadget maker who also has contract assemblers who make them a computer with their brand on it. It's been that way for quite awhile.

    I remember when iTunes started coming out with those promotions where there were soda pop bottlecaps to get free 'tunes' on iTunes. I remember how Jobs challenged Scully to not spend the rest of his life selling sugar water to kids.

    Trump has been doing a lot to discourage foreign incursions.
