Me and my wife have iPhones. 1) Im amazed that there is this much interest every damn iPhone release. It's a phone. 2) Id hate to be at Samsung right now.
Chrome has a built in Flash player. Always updated.
So when I see a "you must update Flash" i know it's bogus, since I'm already updated. I tell my family this, since they're non-techies and wouldn't be able to tell a legit popup from a fake. (Im not going to be 100% either).
Oh and Chrome sandboxes its built-in flash better than the plugin can.
depending on the port and tolerances, the electrical connections may or may not hook up correctly.
If i go to the gym, and i plug my 4 segment headphones into the machines, i get audio in one ear only. I can wiggle it, and it will change which ear i get it in (until my workout wiggles it again) but i almost never get audio in both .
Actually, as far as I remember it, apple added the volume control. The standard really already is two standards - three segment and four element connectors. You get some connector mismatch if you plug in a 4 element new style headphones into a 3 element jack.
You could have said non audio things - I think the first iteration of Square used the audio jack, talking to the card reader like a modem.
1) apple has popularized the GUI, the touch screen, the smart phone, the form factor for pretty much every laptop sold today (look at the first PowerBook, then look at all Windows laptops before it). Apple has given us volume controls on the headphone line - yes, the same tech that people bitch that apple will pull, Apple finally made super useful with volume and logic controls. I go nuts with headphones that don't have these controls - a non-ironic Thanks Apple here.
2) apple has given us the 3.5 inch floppy, then removed it. It gave us the first easy to use networking (Appletalk over LocalTalk, or more likely PhoneNet) then removed it for TCP/IP Rendezvous/Bonjour. It has essentially removed all CDs from it's devices, so it gave us iTunes to rip CDs, now no CD player to rip from. It dropped the Motorola 68000, then dropped PowerPC.
3) It's not even the first jack free phone - motorola beat them to it, with a phone that (sadly - Motorola was once a Lion) no one will buy so Apple will be seen as the first.
So, Apple regularly adds and/or removes tech. It's part of their DNA. They've radically moved computing forward and sometimes they're the first to cut ties to an old past. Whether you like them removing it or not, doesn't mean it's a "hey they're GREEDY" everytime they change something. Remember that soon, your iOS9 phone will become an iOS10 phone and do more things. They're not charging you for that. For free, your mac will do more new things. The headphone jack is long, the headphone jack is thick, and the headphone jack makes it harder to waterproof. Why is everyone complaining? because bluetooth headphones suck. Well, here's Apple designing a future to make them suck less.
Umm, no. The EPI pen is life and death. This is a phone. The EPI pen was marketed to schools in what may be illegal dealings. This is a phone. The EPI pen forces you to buy a 2 pack, and has a very short shelf life. This is a phone - apple sells others, other companies sell others. This is a phone.
And Apple has sold roughly a billion phones. Are you saying that there are that many fanbois out there? If so, maybe you're the odd one - the fanboys are the normals.
And, this is a phone. Its a great camera in your pocket, but it's a phone.
I picture a couple Irish dudes coming over... drunk as hell on Guinness Stout and some Smythwicks... "yep, sure is big all right (burrrrp) now where's the nearest pub"
Jokes aside, hacks from inside the firewall are the new hotness. I think the Australia Census DoS was inside the firewall. Perimeter defense is a fiction. Especially with the Internet of Never Updated Easily Pwn3d things.
I even remember TurboGopher, a mac client with some 3d modiling, for no reaon other than "hey lets make these virtual things into 3d models"
It got killed like a lot of things got killed - something better came out, and at the same time people misused the gopher: protocol to DoS effect. Netscape pulled gopher: support in Navigator because of that abuse, and the nail was in the coffin.
though true, good luck getting someone to the left of Hillary elected.
Obama was pretty center-right. In a more sane era, he'd be a Rockefeller Republican. The Republicans would trot out this black guy, who had a racist grandma and a dad that left, show that he pulled himself up and became President. Classic Republican story!!! Nahh, instead he's somehow a radical Christian, a secret muslim, a communist AND a nazi, never do anything AND oversteps his bounds all the time.
Part of this left/right problem is the Republicans are pretty far right. Hell, they're arguing for the gold standard. O'Reilly was just arguing that slavery wasn't so bad?

Most asian supermarkets and tea shops sell them. The taiwanese tea chain Ten Ren has shops here in the US. Their tea flavored cakes are very good
Umm, he was born in Russia? He's a Russian Jew?
He also stated he hated being a Jew in Russia... so there's the irony aspect of it.
It's doubleplus don't be evil.
Didn't Sergei grow up in the Moscow? He's built a panopticon that would make Stalin drool.
Reply All podcast had a good episode on a cloud photo provider that had massive tech problems and people lost contact with their photos. Worth a listen.
Cloud just means a computer you can't control.
Remember that Motorola did it first. Though they sell some headphones, they don't move any masses of headphones.

Point taken. I'd edit my comment if Slashdot permitted. Thanks.
Something like aptX (but sadly, likely to be proprietary)?

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
And a whole day in advance of the real unveiling. All that info, with so much time to use it... somehow.......
Probably Apocryphal, but still funny and relevant to the above post:

I kept hearing about REST REST REST at work. I had to ask what the term was. They explained it.
Oh, that thing I did 15 years ago. Before it had a fancy name. It was called "programming" back then
