    Your iPhone is a very expensive piece of precision computing technology. Put it in a hard case, and DON'T put it in your back pocket!

    Better yet, always leave your iPhone at home on your bedside table. That way it will never bend. As a bonus it won't run out of power in less than a day.

    Out of the 4-5 million Note 7s moved, 100 of them blew up. Let's double it for fun.

    That's still less than 1%.

    True, and it's also less than .005%

  4. Just let basic die already. It's already comatose and on life support, please just resist any temptation to bring out the defibrillator. Kids today can type javascript straight into a browser and get useful results to impress their friends right away. The transition from there to a properly structured language isn't too hard. Or master javascript and parlay that into a summer job implementing automagic web pages.

    The problem with basic is, it basically teaches negative programming skill.

    The sense of entitlement that people believe they should get a brand new phone is incredible.

    They expected to get a properly engineered device when it was new. They never did, instead Apple sold them Bendgate 2[tm].

    To say nothing of e-waste, inability to pass on a perfectly good device...

    Apple is free to sell the refurbished phone as a refurbished phone to somebody who doesn't mind sacrificing the shiny new experience to save a few bucks. To their poor abused Bendgate 2 customer, Apple ought to provide a shiny new phone (which doesn't cost them a whole lot) in an attempt restore their battered image. But whatever. It's no skin off my nose if Apple abuses its customers thus contributing to its market slide, quite the contrary.

    So you find yourself "enlightened" enough to decide what is/isn't a crime, eh?

    I'm afraid we err on the side of requiring explicit consent these days. Apparently you didn't get the memo.

    saying mean things is not sexual harassment

    Trump boasted about things he did to women. That's not "saying mean things", that is "doing illegal things". Well you don't need to believe me, just look at the swarms of republican rats jumping off the sinking Trump ship.

    Apple first sells the customer an expensive phone with a serious engineering defect, then adds insult to injury by replacing it by one infused with somebody else's snot. Nothing is done about the customer's wasted time or poor user experience. Classy or not classy? I leave that determination to the interested reader. Keep in mind that a new unit costs Apple much less than it costs the user.

    Clinton wanted to kill Assange

    This claim is promulgated only by lunatic fringe conspiracy sites such as rt.com and no credible "state department" source has ever been identified.

    Bill Clinton was *actually* sexually harassing women.

    Firstly, Trump "actually" sexually harasses women. Secondly, Bill Clinton is not standing for election. Thirdly, Bill Clinton was punished with impeachment. How shall Donald Trump be punished?

    Samsung has courage to issue massive recall. Apple has courage to remove headphone jack.

    Most probably. How strange it is that sex is held to be so much more important than treason or nuclear annihilation. But sigh. Whatever works, just so long as bozo the clown ends up taking the proverbial walk of shame back down the sewer he crawled from.

    It's a troll article and a troll headline. Read it? It says USB analog audio will be a standard and will be easier to do. It does not say a thing about whether Samsung will leave out the 3.5mm jack. And given the hit Apple took to its sales and reputation, I guess Samsung will be keeping the 3.5mm jack for at least another generation if not longer.
