Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it? You lose your keys, it's aliens. A picture falls off the wall, it's aliens. That time we used up a whole bog roll in a day, you thought that was aliens as well.
Oh it's fluffy the lefty. Not surprised you've already got 2 mod points for such a tiny post with zero facts or proof to back it up other than it was anti-Trump. That's how the registered slashdot community rolls.
Dickhead he has a score 2 because he's logged in and probably has decent karma and 2 is the default score for that.
$9 for a tiny bit of wire with a 3.5mm in on one end and a lightning out on the other? And you think that's reasonable? Do you think the airbuds are about the right price too? You're the kind of sucker apple relies on.
The mac on the other desk at work has a wireless mouse (apple built) that has the charge port on the bottom of it! What genius though of that? Gave us a good laugh that did when it came in.
The dongle is simply a "security blanket" for people like you that whine and gnash your teeth at change. In a year or two, they'll drop the dongle completely because people that use headphones with their iPhone will all be using the wireless ear buds.
Other phone manufacturers will follow suit and the headphone jack will be gone from all new phones by 2020.
So in a year or two you expect everyone to have spent another $150 for the headphones? And you also expect every other manufacturer to copy them because that's what already happens....oh wait, no it doesn't especially when apple try to sue you for having a device that looks kind of similar. No doubt they'll patent a one connection design. Next year after that they'll drop that in favour of wireless charging and wireless file transfer and have no holes at all! All the ifans will gush like its the best thing ever and put up with it because the love getting ifucked by apple.
But if you want a phone with a 3.5mm Jack, don't look to Android to save you. There won't be 3 Android phones with a 3.5mm Jack by this time next year, and none of them will be Flagship phones.
The fuck are you smoking? Can I have some? You think every manufacturer is going to blindly follow whatever apple do? They all going to switch to lightning and airbuds too or all conspire to push usb headphones? Just no.
Speakers, microphone and volume control are all the same thing.
Maybe they just meant audio? So good luck to you if you want to listen and charge or transfer data or another thing, unless you spend an $159 of course.
What is stopping them from "outsourcing" their IT to another UC school which teaches system administration as part of it's curriculum. It seems like it would be a good opportunity to teach remote administration.
What am I missing?
See, you're looking at the problem with common sense, they're looking at with dollar signs.
Yeah but what if i came and said that i dont come to change the old laws, my dad (who is also me) set these rules in what well call the old book but to enforce them. These rules not only condone but encourage slavery and murder. I'd hope people look at my whole history and not one little hippie phase were I contradicted myself loads of times, flat out lied and said a lot wierd stuff like to be my follower you must hate your parents and still relied on the overall threat of hell. Plus I actually exist so I'd be able to talk to these people doing stuff in my name and try to convince them to stop and if they don't publicly condemn amd criticize them. Even more so if I had the ultimate powers of god.
If you don't like what they're selling don't buy it. Easy. You can't demand someone provide exactly what you want, sometimes you have to get the closest thing you can and make do.
Fine, but you can sell the cheese packet on Ebay if you want. Try selling your OEM copy of Windows on Ebay sometime. The pre-installed software is either chattel goods for sale or it isn't, one or the other. Microsoft (and Apple) want to have it both ways.
You can try sell that shit if you want. I've not bought a laptop in a while but as far as I know they all come with the key, be it in the box somewhere or stuck to the computer. You could quite easily sell/give that to someone and they can then install a copy of that version of windows. At the end of the day you can't pick and choose what parts of a product you like you either buy what they're selling or don't. You can ask them to change the package sure but they can tell you no as well.

Counter-proof:
Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Maxwell, Planck, Einstein, Tesla, Feynman, Woz, etc., were all great men and they *didn't* beat it over the heads of others to show it.
To be fair, the only reason Jesus is a thing is a counter to the threat of hell, which is pretty bloody violent. Not to mention all the violence and blood shed in his name over many, many years. Also the justification of slavery. You're better off steering well clear of any religious stuff when claiming they don't need violence. You also don't need to be physically violent yourself. Some Japanese would argue that Feynman was incredibly violent based on what he created/enabled and by extension maybe Einstien too.
Or you run a scout camp. Or you are an Olympic target shooter. Or you hunt small game.
Are you going to barter with those things? I don't think you should be handing out ammunition to kids, the target shooter would probably want some but I don't see what need small game would have for bullets of any caliber. Nope, guy was implying give me what I want or I'll shoot you, but that's not a new development and people have been trying to figure out how to do that anonymously for years.
not really. They basically killed off the Lumia line with the 950 series, beyond the budget of anyone curious.
I got a lumia 950 and for anyone curious. It's shit, like really shit, so shit you'll be glad you never bothered and im stuck with it for another 13 odd months, still though, it's not an iPhone.
What's more assuming is the/. hypocrisy. Sony try to change the game by going proprietary and are vilified, Apple do the exact same thing are are worshipped like some bizarre cult. Xenophobic much?
Do you read/.? Basically everytime apple are mentioned it's more slagging off with a few defenders. The very post you replied to is negative towards apple yet you claim they are worshipped like some bizarre cult. That's just the apple reality distortion field and it's not native to slashdot at all.

They didn't make the phone thinner, they increased the battery size and life,
Also how much extra battery/life can you get from the size of a 3.5mm port?
$9 for a tiny bit of wire with a 3.5mm in on one end and a lightning out on the other? And you think that's reasonable? Do you think the airbuds are about the right price too? You're the kind of sucker apple relies on.

And they all look the same to me. Same number of ports, same use pattern. No variance. Like they're all copying one another.
As is the apple way.

Yeah there are, but as they're out they're obviously not following apple. Some more might ditch it sure, but all of them? Within a year? Not a chance.
But if you want a phone with a 3.5mm Jack, don't look to Android to save you. There won't be 3 Android phones with a 3.5mm Jack by this time next year, and none of them will be Flagship phones.

The dongle comes with the phone.
I still think the idea is stupid, though... but I'm not in the market for a new phone, in any case.
I doubt it, they'll expect to you use the shitty lighting ones they package. Using non approved/standard bits cost you extra.
So either they hook up through the analog adapter or they design a Lightning version.
...and pay royalties to Apple.
Ka-ching!
Or go Bluetooth, and pay royalties to someone else.
Until they decide to stop supporting bluetooth.
Speakers, microphone and volume control are all the same thing.

Unless you build it from scratch getting hardware without an OS is a pain in the ass.
Not really, you just have to accept its part of the product then remove it afterwards.
If you don't like what they're selling don't buy it. Easy. You can't demand someone provide exactly what you want, sometimes you have to get the closest thing you can and make do.

So what happens when I go to the shop and pay with my note which is then given to someone else as change?
False. Canadian data show that suicide rates are *not* affected by easy access to firearm, which remains constant post gun control laws.
Does the Canadian data show that's the case in Canada or everywhere?

Win 10 is a great step forward.
Maybe it is when your start menu doesn't randomly decide to take 5 minutes to load.

Not only that they're going to cost shitloads if they're aimed at the high end market while beats (already massively overpriced) are the mid range.
