Sigh. Okay. I know you're trying to be funny. (BTW, when I say "you" I'm not talking to just you, AC. I'm talking to all of Slashdot.) But you're referencing something Steve Jobs (By the way, he's dead now. Don't know if you knew that.) said SEVEN YEARS AGO. This has got to be the lamest Apple joke in the universe and it stopped being funny about 6 1/2 years ago. How about coming up with a new joke? Please.
Steve Jobs was a genius. He created (and then saved) Apple. He saved Pixar. You're right, he was also a asshole. This is no secret. Genius and asshole are not mutually exclusive. People who care recognize both parts of his personality. Most people don't care. They just want to buy an iPhone or watch The Incredibles.
If you think iPhones are really just high-end accessories, fine, go ahead. Apple sold 50+ million iPhones in 1Q17. iPhone owners don't care what you think. iPhone accessory vendors don't care what you think. iPhone app developers don't care what you think. Musicians who sell music on iTunes don't care what you think. Tim Cook doesn't care what you think. 98,000 Apple employees don't care what you think. Apple investors don't care what you think. Steve Jobs in his grave doesn't care what you think.
In fact, Tim Cook is thinking "Are iPhones are just high-end accessories? Great! Wonderful! Let's sell 100 million high-end accessory iPhones per quarter."
YES! Finally somebody gets it. I don't really want anything that looks or acts more recent than about 1985 or so. Personally I'm still using a green-on-black CRT monitor and doing everything with the command line. Linux? Pshaw! Too new for my taste. I'm running a BSD Unix from 1980. I can't play games but by god it's OLD. My phone is an AT&T dial landline. My TV? A B&W 1959 Motorola. I'm driving a 1970 Ford Fairlane with a straight drive, 4 barrel carburetor, and drum brakes. Sure it doesn't have any safety features and only gets 18mpg but it's OLD, dammit, and OLD is what I want.
Good ideas, but no. I poked at the headphone jack idea but it's limp and floppy. And "courage" is now in the Old Apple Jokes home along with "rounded corners," "you're holding it wrong," and "Bendgate."
I'm still thinking.
Yes, this is why I have 17 different phones. One for home, one for the office, one for the mall, one for the coffee shop, one for Amazon, one for Twitter, etc. It's great because I never see ads that are targeted to me. The only problem is that I'd like to visit my friend in San Fransisco but I can't do it until I get another phone.
Thanks for the link, but I think it proves that paiute is correct.
Many English speakers use "begs the question" to mean "raises the question", "evades the question", or even "ignores the question", and follow that phrase with the question, for example: "this year's deficit is half a trillion dollars, which begs the question: how are we ever going to balance the budget?"
In philosophical, logical, grammatical and legal contexts, authorities deem such usage to be mistaken or at best unclear.
McCrory hopped in for a ride, with a state trooper behind the wheel. Before long, McCrory and the trooper switched, giving the Governor a chance to guide the sleek vehicle around Raleigh.
No need to get your panties all in a wad. Apple is not saying this. Somebody else (namely Shuttleworth) who doesn't actually know shit about Apple's plans is saying it.

It never surprises me that politicians can be bought, only how cheaply.
Rich people have money. Poor people spend money. I'm always surprised by the things that people would rather have than money.

Cough! Cough! Hey, give a guy a little warning before you start knocking the dust off of that old joke, wouldja?
With that level of stupidity a 0 for the assignment is letting them off easy. I'd just show them the door.

I haven't figured out how it's bad yet, but I'm sure I will. Just give me a minute.

My wife & I are >60 and watch Netflix and Amazon exclusively. Neither of us can bear watching any TV program with commercials.
Wait for der Drumpfenfuhrer to take credit for this.
The only problem with Twitter is that it has too many users. Do your part to help.

Deutsche Bank said today http://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article71314817.html that it was freezing plans to add 250 more jobs at its Cary location. Feeling the pressure, NC Gov. McCrory today issued an Executive Order http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article71368717.html#storylink=mainstage to rescind 2 parts of the bill, neither of which is the part concerning gender-specific bathrooms.

This is more irrational pandering to protect existing business interests -- which isn't really what legislatures should be doing (but do anyway).

Here's a nice overview of just what's going on with the ACA website.
