Our science-fiction induced successors are completely irrelevant to everything. Period. They don't exist. They may never exist. We wouldn't give a shit about what they would or wouldn't accomplish. They could live in a single room in NYC or colonize the Universe and it wouldn't make any difference to any human, ever. In short, it's like you're an incredibly stupid, fucked-up shit-head, lost inside a fantasy novel. Oh wait. That part is real.
Only idiots such as you would replace a phone after two years solely because the battery needs replacement. Of course, only idiots such as you would buy a phone that required a battery replacement after only two years.
Those making an issue of the missing jack are just narcissistic shit-heads.
Apple has always done what they wanted in terms of features, ports and technology. They only have to justify decisions to shareholders, and I doubt there are any shareholders who matter that are wringing their hands over Apple's stock price at the moment.
If you don't like the product, don't buy it. It's not difficult, unless you have the severe mental issues often demonstrated by many bigoted shitfaces who unreasonably hate a company they do no business with.
Right. Because Apple developed lightning just a few weeks before the iPhone 5 was released. They could have waited a year or two for USB-C to be available. No problem.
So, despite the numerous examples of Apple removing DRM, including convincing the RIAA to allow non-DRM media on the iTunes Store, you still have this fear that Apple will do a 180 and screw you? You're the delusion fuck that deserves to eat shit for breakfast. You're so stupid, you'd probably like it, too.
They don't care what you think. And no one else in the Universe cares what you think, either. Which is why you're reduced to posing anonymous shit on slashdot.
Apple is the one company who pushed for, and got, major studios to release non-DRM media. This whole slashdot meme where Apple lives on DRM is just a delusion. It's the slashdot RDF. Apple doesn't even protect their OS, and only go after people trying to sell hackintoshes.
If you hate Apple, you deserve to have every bad thing possible happen to you and your family. Your mother, after all, was obviously a brain-damaged asshole for even carrying you to term.
Seriously. Apple has done nothing to deserve hate. If you don't like their products, don't fucking use them. It's only a concept that's difficult for shits like you to understand. Real people with normal minds don't have an issue with it.
Expecting an employee who is being fired to train his replacement is immoral. This is even more so when the employee is being fired without cause.
The employees have every right, both legal and moral, to stonewall the education of their replacements. It would be immoral to sabotage systems or update documentation to be incorrect, but passive resistance is fair game, and far better than the University deserves.
I'm curious as to why you think that's relevant. No one is required to give you what you want, the way you want it. No one is required to make it easy to order a laptop without Windows, or with a different OS. You're just a petty, wannabe tyrant. Go fuck off and leave us alone.
There is no responsibility, legal or moral, for anyone to provide a laptop, or any other product, to your exact specifications. Take your entitlement complex and drown it in a vat of acid.
It's well-known that OEMs take money from software publishers to include their software pre-installed. By refusing Windows, and by extension, all the pre-installed software, the customer is actually causing Sony a loss. Sony should charge the self-entitled asshole for taking back the OEM key.
You have a valid point with respect to copyright and the way it has been applied to software to stifle resales. However, even if selling one's copy of Windows OEM were legal, it would still be wrong to insist that Sony refund the value of the OS just because one didn't intend to use it. Sony isn't preventing resale of Windows, the law is.

My understanding is that UC is simply outsourcing. H1Bs are in-house employees brought from another country. Not the same.

Apparently your current phone is missing the grammar correction feature.
"I'd like 3 functionality, please."
Right. Because Apple developed lightning just a few weeks before the iPhone 5 was released. They could have waited a year or two for USB-C to be available. No problem.
Right. Because people in developing countries can buy top-of-the-line Apple phones, but can't afford an extra $10 for anything else.
My iPhone 6 got dropped into the toilet. Works fine.

What the fuck is wrong with you? When was the last time Apple added DRM to anything they weren't mandated to by law?

Slashdot has been living inside its own RDF for so long, they barely realize that Jobs is dead.

I've never seen a mac mini with a magnetic power connector. When did they start shipping those?

I will blame you for lying. The EULA does not say what you state. This is easy to find out, especially as it was posted as comment on this story.
Bigots almost always live in the past. It's the only way they can feel superior to normal people.

And let's get a ruling that you, personally, have to sell custom carvings of Neville Chamberlain.
Sorry, but only in a world of self-entitled shitfucks do you get to demand someone sell you something. I'm glad I don't live in your world.
So you're in favor of punishing Sony for MS's historic behavior? What a fucked-up piece of shit. You. And your position.

MS was not a party of the lawsuit. Their monopoly status is irrelevant.
