    Apple is getting slaughtered in China and India and the rest of the developing world, while also declining slowly in all developed countries.

  2. So much Apple-love on Slashdot. I wonder what you all do for a living?

    Watch is also something that people don't need. Hard to see where Apple goes from here, honestly.

    Ending the sales unit reporting is enough confirmation for me, you can blather on all you want, you're just an Apple waterboy.

    that's the best recommendation you could make for buying Apple products.

    Maybe, but that product no longer exists except in the second hand market. Anyway, most people who switch from Apple to Android end up wondering why they didn't do it sooner.

  7. Re:No surprises here on Mozilla Says Ad on Firefox's New Tab Page Was Just Another Experiment (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    Firefox marketshare collapsed. If that isn't the "sky has fallen" then fucked if I know what is.

    1) Chrome overtook Firefox in 2011. Extension API was 2017 2) Firefox was displaced by Google "bundling" chrome and adopting other tactics reminiscent of Microsoft's war against Netscape 3) Firefox still has a major chunk of the browser market.

    Firefox is basically an also ran browser that has a relatively insignificant marketshare now.

    Firefox is still popular and is the only thing that stands between Google and complete internet domination like Microsoft had a few years back.

    They told us the sky would fall when the old leaky extension APIs were removed, and it did not.

    It took over a year of hard work of many extension makers, and not all regressions have been fixed yet.

    Right, but I think extension makers more than anybody knew why it had to be done. I thank them all sincerely for their great work, and that most certainly includes the Mozilla devs.

    Firefox lost its way long ago.

    Really? Then why do I have such a strong preference for it vs Chrome, and why is Firefox my primary browser?

    Running a bunch of good and essential Firefox extensions. They told us the sky would fall when the old leaky extension APIs were removed, and it did not.

    People are cutting out cable too, not because they can't afford it but because the value isn't there.

    That would be fine if the cancer risk of bacon was anywhere near as bad as tobacco.

    More people eat bacon than smoke tobacco... maybe.

  13. Well, bacon isn't addictive as far as I know, so that is a big difference vs tobacco. However, tobacco is sorta under control these days, so that is a big difference vs bacon. Are we at the point where bacon and friends are causing more deaths and health expense than tobacco? Not sure, got to be close.
