(Also I'm still a little pissed that my BLU smartphone has been sending my SMS messages to China until today for reasons that nobody is willing to give an even vaguely plausible answer to.)
Probably the exact same reason apple has. They can, and can probably make money from it.
I'm sorry but the people selling you phone service keeping logs of your phone calls is one thing, the people that just made the phone have no business at all logging that data for any reason. But I guess it's ok though because apple did it and apple can do no wrong.
Would mod you up as funny if I could.
Now... let's get the flame war started. The headline did call Pluto a 'Dwarf Planet'. Never liked that name, too clumsy. What's wrong with 'planetoid'?... too colloquial?
I think it's just badly written and not flipping up or down, rather it's saying that pluto re-orientated to have the most massive part which is this heart bit apparently, on the axis of rotation with Charon, so always facing away from it, making them tidally locked I guess. At least that's the understanding I took from it and another article somewhere I can't find again.
Basically what you're saying is the mac can't work on its own? In order to be effective enough you need to connect it to a bunch of other shit services?
The thing about Apple product is this; They have superior longevity, they last compared to the myriad of windows variants that breaks down after half a year.
And thus a comment about the longevity of a mac product, from a PC user is a bit funny in it self. As they assume that Mac products have the same shortcomings as their systems have.
The irony is brilliant. Saying windows machines break down after 6 months (they don't, especially when spending mac money). A comment about the longevity of a PC product form a mac user is a bit funny in itself as they assume they all have the same made up shortcomings they want the systems to have.
I have a distant relative who is undergoing major medical problems, and if he or one of his med techs texts me while I'm out hiking with my club, there's no time to whip off my sunglasses, forage in my pack for reading glasses, and put those on to see the message. But suppose my sunnies had a VR overlay that brought out one selected iPhone function, as the Apple Watch does. By having it display texts, I could stay informed without breaking stride. So long as Apple avoided the optics, so to speak, of Google Glass, for many people, this could be a more practical wearable than the Watch.
Why is there no time to change glasses to read this text? Could your phone read it out loud(through headphones maybe)? Could someone else read it? Why is all this an issue when you're more concerned with not breaking stride with your hiking club that the distant relative having major medical problems? If the situation is so urgent you can't afford the delay of non instant communication direct to your eyeball, you really shouldn't be out hiking in the first place. What if you have no signal and all that is moot?
Well, as you know, if you have to run mac os for any reason then there is no alternative. If you just want a new, or high spec machine there are plenty. Your issue with metal highlights my point though. It's not like you can swap out the graphics card or mobo or whatever part it is that prevents your current machine from supporting it. If you want that you have to stump up the cash for a new mac.
The ones I see here in Portland are hand written on poster board. Not a preprinted sign in sight.
Maybe they were pre painted? I mean I'm sure they all technically were pre printed or painted, you don't do that shit when you get there. Just not by the people holding them.
How about Wow, a double win! I'm all for it, as long as they take their share of the national debt with them.
Sure, let them take the whole thing. The national debt, any national debt is a massive joke that will never, ever, ever be paid, nor even really attempted to. It's just there to keep the system going.
Fucking hell guys, no wonder racism and sexism is so rife over there. A lot of you guys seem to be most interested in figuring what group a person is and then using that alone to determine friend or foe. It's akin to two little kids in the park both shouting "no, you're the poopypants" That's how the rest of the world sees it. Fucking cut it out and grow up. For the good of all of us.

"Planet?!" Are you trying to start a flame war?!

Mass challenged planet shaped object?
Nah, it's caused by right wingers blowing steam.

What lie? The off the cuff comment implying only rich people like London? So what, you like London? What do you want? A fucking ribbon?
I just spent a week of vacation there. You're full of shit.
Try living or working there for any real length of time. A weeks vacation? Fuck off.

But a new Mac book pro! You can't go through the trouble of upgrading your ssd and ram.
FTFY
It's not made by apple....
It's Designed by Apple, in California.
And probably printed in China where all the rest of their stuff actually gets made.
The 1% like London.
They're the only ones.
Interestingly, women and minorities will be the most impacted by these flights.
How so?
As opposed to unwearable glasses?
Binoculars?

Can you tell me the music they're using in the Lexus commercials that came out last week?
I'm sure google can.
people who start their comment in the subject box.
American cheese?
When the science gets done we can make a neat gun, for the people who are still alive.

I'd like to see Nebraska cut the food off to California, and those other Western states cut off the water.
Are they giving that food or selling it?
