To Apple employees with mod points: modding down a Slashdot post does not fix the pathetic Apple watch battery life.

Assume that Trump manages to corrupt the supreme court to to be his private Republican rubber stamp. How does that affect the situation when this lands in front of the supremes, as it surely will.
if antimatter DOES function inversely to matter re gravity , it opens a whole boatload of extremely fun physics implications , the least of which would be the identifying a candidate for the prized unobtanium needed for a warp drive
And to lift your flying car. You would need a ton or two of antimatter. Collide with another flying car and the explosion would be how big? Enough to create a second moon?
He got whacked for being bad, and took it well. The penalty is measured and appropriate. He will watch his mouth in future. Tesla goes on building great cars under his leadership. Everybody a winner.
Thats what is so neat about capitalism and allowing free market competition. Another really great search service can grow.
Yah, no. Not in this universe. Google owns that monopoly and it isn't going to change any time soon. Nothing short of massive government intervention can change it, and such is nowhere on the horizon. Not that it would be a bad thing, but let's be real.
Sure, Apple crunched their numbers and they know that default search engine is worth more than $9 billion to Google. But if Apple is forced to go to Bing, or worse, implement its own search engine complete with data centers, it will instantly become the laughingstock of the entire internet. After all, crawling back to Microsoft after Bill Gates made Steve Jobs grovel on TV for a $200 million investment. It just doesn't get funnier than that.
If Apple doesn't offer Google by default, it will end up losing way more than $9 billion in sales from customer defections. Go ahead Google, you can easily afford the downside risk. Let Apple learn by doing.
They HAD to go to centralization to even make it viable.
That is no excuse for dropping the P2P for devices that support it. Microsoft could easily have made it an option but they are more interested in spying, not doing what is best for users.
Skype has been all downhill ever since Microsoft killed the P2P in favor of centralized spyware. Slack, Discord and even Hangouts are way better. All of them are rampant privacy violations, but Skype is the worst.
I don't know about "most", but JACK audio is, in a word, awesome. Far in advance of anything available on Windows or Macos. For glitch-free real time audio processing, Linux is without a doubt the best choice for professionals. I expect that many professionals have noticed that.
Yes, 700 Million devices, a good % of those devices are capable of Content CREATION/PRODUCTION,
Interesting point. What fraction of those do you think are actually being used for content creation/production? I think, very small. But looking at it the other way - of all content production, how much is done on Windows machines? I think, a high percentage, so granted. But don't forget that Hollywood is basically standardized on Linux workstations now, that has a really outsized contribution to content creation. And there is a rapidly expanding content creation scene based on tools like Blender and Krita, where the upstream development is done on Linux machines, even though most of the users are on Windows. Interested in your comments.
BTW, there are several great video editing tools available and principally developed on Linux now. There is basically no reason not to switch content creation to Linux, and big reasons for doing it... you save a bunch of money (or avoid criminalizing yourself by stealing stuff) and get your edits done a lot faster, without random reboots, upgrade nags and risk of virus infection.

Apple can drop the 32-bit binaries from watchOS, leading to less maintenance
So you are saying, better for Apple, who cares about the user.
smaller and faster system update downloads
Wrong. 64 bit binaries are more bulky than 32 bit.
and more space available for the user to use on the device
Wrong again. On the device you only have 32 bit binaries/libraries or 64 bit. Unless Apple is really stupid, but that is another issue.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Typical Apple "facts".

Exactly. Impeach NOW.
You mean, after the midterms. Also impeach Kavanaugh.

Write your theory up and mail it to Physical Review Letters. Be sure to attach the correct postage.

I've always wondered whether Steve Jobs loved Tim Cook's dongles.
Some mod with a filthy mind.

Just expensive enough to be painful, not expensive enough to cause lasting damage. Just right.

The real danger to Google is that Apple demonstrates another search engine could be a viable alternative.
Google should take that bet. And I will be, as I said, sitting back with popcorn enjoying the ensuing hilarity.
the $200M lawsuit settlement and licensing deal is (really) old news
You have your news confused. Actually, it was only $150 million. It was a direct investment in Apple by Microsoft. Here is Bill Gates making Steve Jobs grovel to get the money.
I just crunched the numbers and decided that Google has more to gain by letting Apple suicide itself than by paying the extortion.
Could also be that Apple doesn't care switching to Bing.
I really really really want Apple to switch to Bing. Sitting back with popcorn, waiting for that one.

If only Windows Server OS was free as in beer.
I still wouldn't trust it.
So Windows and MacOS are downstream for JACK. Interesting.
Hollywood is a long way from "standardized" on Linux. The reality is nobody gives a shit about Linux
Ahem.

So, like, a fraction of Android/Linux devices?
