You may be projecting your own lack of intelligence. There's a difference between being distracted and thinking the distraction is important to classifying what one is looking at. Humans like shiny, but they aren't going to look at a sticker and not see it's pasted on a car or a sign or a tree.
To add to my previous comment: I regularly use parking garages that read my plate to know that I already paid at the kiosk. Again, no humans involved. Sounds like you live in the 80s. Not sure if that's 1980s or 1880s.
Apple has never tried legal restrictions on where hardware could be used. To this day, data centers will have racks of Mac minis, if they have clients who need them.
Patents cover specific implementations. That's the whole point. If you accomplish something entirely mechanically, and I do it electronically, we can each patent our implementations, even though they accomplish the same task. Apple's bounce animation is applying math to animate elements on a screen. The implementation bears no resemblance to any physical system, especially shock absorbers in a car.
I haven't come across a mobile version of a site that was of any use. The closest I've come is Github, but they have ridiculous restrictions on what you can do, and make you jump through the hoop of changing to the desktop version just to merge a PR with incomplete CI tests.

Huh? Ever drive on a modern toll road? Those cameras send data to a system that mails you a bill. No humans involved.

If you've never had a gaming session last over 8 hours, you're not much of a gamer. Those days are long behind me, but I still remember them.
What kind of shit DC allows Windows Update? Are you running Home edition on a server?
If the CEO was tortured for a few years, companies might take the hint and not act like human shit piles.
You are waaaaaaay less than 0.1%.
In what way? I don't pay Apple for my cellular connection. Why would you pay Asus?

There was never an iOS 1.0.
Only a moron conflates development with programming in such a context.
If you smash a pickaxe through your eye, you will no longer care what people call AI, and we won't have to read your inane shit. It's a win/win.
global warming in the right places
Some, or all, of these words do not mean what you think they mean.
You need to rethink why you bother living. Clearly life is a torment to you. Just end it.
Since you live in a basement and send your mother for groceries, you won't have an occasion to contact customer support of an airline.
Not long. The amount of smug you carry around with you blows way past the luggage allowance.
Slashdot is just upping its efficiency by duping within one summary, instead of two.
Go fuck yourself with a razor, you stupid ass hole.
"far more reliable" doesn't mean "never fails", and no one, except for the fucked-up voice in your head, said otherwise.
And thus, no one uses gold as a currency.
Were you trying to make a point, or were you rambling inanely for the hell of it?
What does that mean?
* You're
So stay out of the App Store. Your making up a problem that doesn't exist.
The Mac was not a copy of PARC's work, but it was inspired by it.
Mac OS is a Unix implementation. It's no more a "copy" than Solaris was a "copy".
The iPhone didn't really copy anything, but was obviously took inspiration from many sources.
I do agree that Apple is not innovative, per se, but Jobs had an eye for style that has not been seen in the mass consumer market since.
