Under Tim Cook it is doing nothing, and he could easily be replaced by a block of wood and you would see no impact on the company. Just what is he being paid for?
How can you be so decisive about Apple management? Even if I think Apple would do better with Jobs (for a number of reasons including an important one: staff dedication), Cook is in charge of more than 100 thousand people worldwide and the company did not fall apart, so far. Initially, he couldn't take the risk to largely innovate and (if that didn't work) being accused of breaking Jobs' work. Now the time has come to change and innovate, and that should come from someone else. After Jobs' death, Cook took over to ensure a smooth transition., and, business wise, he did a fair job. Cook will be replaced within a year or two ; that's just how it has to be.
The way Apple talks about the Mini makes it sound like they completely neglected to work on that line of products, as if they were overwhelmed by the rest!
That's interesting because, at first glance, the http(s) traffic has nothing to do with the user's computer OS, would it be a Mac or Windows. On average, Windows users tend to visit less secure websites than Mac users. OTOH, people usually don't really choose a website based on if it's https or not - except if it's for a payment, login, or subscription. Or would Windows users be a bit less security sensitive than Mac users, when it comes to performing these private transactions?
SoftBank (and 2 other big carriers) hold (almost) a mobile phone monopoly in Japan where a smartphone subscription costs ~$60 monthly and that's not even including local phone calls (35 cents / minute). Softbank had a very aggressive marketing from the start, offering appealing solutions which eventually happen to be costly and/or on contracts that are difficult to terminate (a month window to close the contract or you're in for another 2 years). They were even criticized for deceptive ads a few years ago.
And how Oracle was desperately hoping the judge wouldn't understand these 9 lines of trivial code and that would help the case in their favor... disgusting.

Mac OS is free.

Time to try Linux, maybe.

This week +10%, next week +10%, ..... then, after a while, suddenly, -99% ... (whatever the reason might be, some laws ...)
Maybe by saying "because it’s the only language I really know" the judge means he's not interested in programming anymore.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.
Too bad the Nobels have already been awarded for this year.
You know, since then people learned how to read decimal.
criminals and terrorists would not just use non-compromised encryption, they'd use codebooks and other types of obfuscation
Terrorists have shown how clever they are ; that kind of subtlety is out of their league.
There is an ext for that.
Chrome will be the new IE6
Yes! my css code will work, at last!
If it's on your computer, better do it in C, or another language way faster than JS.
Ah, at the time iPod owners were respected, they were "Apple Fanatics", now they're just fanbois.
So you mean the Macs are not expensive enough to get a proper service.

Wrong.
Google servers are on Earth, that's fine.
