Immediately before he started pantomiming the reporters disability, he refers to the an article "written by a nice reporter" and then goes on to say "Now, the poor guy, you ought to see this guy, ‘Ah, I don’t know what I said, I don’t remember, I don’t remember, maybe that’s what I said.’”.
He is directly miming the reporter's disability while saying "the poor guy, you ought to see this guy". Watch the video--it doesn't pass the smell test.
This is a reporter who covered Trump directly for many years, interviewing him many times.
He openly mocked a disabled reporter...in front of camera...while he was running for President. I'm not sure how to explain that to my disabled child. Any ideas?
He spent years claiming that President Obama was a Kenyan Muslim. The list goes on and on.
If you voted for Trump then you are an asshole, it's not anymore complicated than that.
Hillary Clinton was held to an impossible standard, one that is never applied to any male candidate. Have you ever heard a man called "shrill"? Every single "scandal" was either completely overblown or just straight up manufactured. Trump's numerous scandals were just ignored. And I don't blame fake news, because there's always fake news. I blame every single voter who chose to believe complete bullshit because they WANTED to believe it.
If you don't think much of that double standard is because she is a woman then you are living in a make-believe world.
No, it absolutely wasn't the only reason she lost. She absolutely did ignore those left behind by globalism and that's the enduring message of this election.
And SCSI, VGA, DVI, CD, DVD, RS232, Parallel ports, Modem, Ethernet jack, etc., etc.
Maybe the headphone jack will be the final straw. Or maybe you're being hysterical. Let's meet back here in a few years and if Apple is out of business then I owe you a Coke.
The Apple ecosystem works in part because the only real way to get your App to iPhones is through the Apple vetting process. If a bunch more "App stores" popped up that charged a little less [or whatever] then well-meaning but non-tech savvy users would use them--and then iPhone would nolonger be the "safe smartphone" and instead would turn into the "little malware box that you have to be afraid of"; just like computers were in the 90s and Android phones are today.
Now that's probably exactly what you want--return us to the days when non-technical people were scared to use anything with technology--because it gives you some bizarre feeling of superiority over them. But I, for one, have no interest in going back to that world.
I like the world the way it is. People have a choice when they purchase the phone on the flexibility vs. safety tradeoff, thus creating two separately thriving ecosystems.
"They" provide fuel, food, and electricity because "we" pay them money for it. And, by the way, "They" are large conglomerate farms, refineries, and power plants owned by people who live in NY/Chicago/SF/LA and who hire inbred hicks to do the actual work.
Anyone who thinks honestly about this problem for more than 30s will reach the obvious conclusion that we don't need 300KW going into each house (or even each super-charging station) to support fast charging, you just need to charge up a battery low & slow and then fast-charge from that battery to the car. Basically the exact same thing we do with gasoline.
Yet every EV article leads to endless comments about how EVs are impractical because we (a) don't have 300KW going into every home, and (b) the grid can't support every EV in America fast-charging all at the same time. Yeah, well, we don't have gasoline pipes going into every gas station & home--and yet that still somehow works. And if everyone in the US wanted to fill up at the same time then the country would run out of gas in about 20 minutes.
Like everyone, I want to be able to refuel my gas car at home in 5 minutes. The only possible solution to this is for somebody to build pipes from an oil refinery to my home so that I can refuel my car every 5 minutes--all day, every day. That must be what they do with gas stations, right? a big fat pipe going all the way back to the refinery?
Hmmm, come to think of it, I swear I heard somewhere about gas stations actually just having big underground tanks that are periodically refilled. Then the tank only has to be big enough to service the needs of that station for a couple days...interesting.
Let me apply the same strategy to my home refilling station. I'll just have a home tank which covers a couple days worth of gas for my car, and then have that home tank periodically refilled. Hmmm.
But wait, what if there was some way to apply this same radical thinking to electric cars? That's super-crazy, but hear me out. I'll install a battery in my home that's sufficient to refill my EV, and then I'll charge that home battery low and slow from the grid (or *gasp* with solar power). Then I can quickly dump all this energy via fast-charging into my EV?
Yeah, I know, that's insane. Noone will ever do that. Instead we'll build a substation into every home in America--just like how we've built a giant network of gasoline pipes into every service station and home in America. That's definitely the simplest and cheapest solution that doesn't sound at all fucking retarded.

They just didn't make the decision that you wanted the to make.
If they would just make some thicker phones then they could finally make some money.

The others were (a) people who hate Hillary because she's a female Democrat and (b) people who love Trump because he's an asshole.
I won't pretend that anti-globalism wasn't a major driver in this election--please don't pretend that it was the only driver.

Everything else is negotiable, including the "free market" and "love of their country".
So it would appear that you are wrong.
The Apple ecosystem works in part because the only real way to get your App to iPhones is through the Apple vetting process. If a bunch more "App stores" popped up that charged a little less [or whatever] then well-meaning but non-tech savvy users would use them--and then iPhone would nolonger be the "safe smartphone" and instead would turn into the "little malware box that you have to be afraid of"; just like computers were in the 90s and Android phones are today.

I like the world the way it is. People have a choice when they purchase the phone on the flexibility vs. safety tradeoff, thus creating two separately thriving ecosystems.
I can either have a safer but less flexible phone, or a mouth-breathing malware box?
The Constitution specifically grants Congress the authority to levy taxes.
Fucking mouth-breathing morons.
"They" provide fuel, food, and electricity because "we" pay them money for it. And, by the way, "They" are large conglomerate farms, refineries, and power plants owned by people who live in NY/Chicago/SF/LA and who hire inbred hicks to do the actual work.
so you're just going to ignore it. Enjoy your heart disease & diabetes.
Also, thanks for voting to give me a tax cut paid for by you losing your health care.

It's not a big surprise that other companies are trying to follow them.
And most of the people buying AirPods don't have iPhone 7s, I'm using AirPods with my iPhone 6.
Seriously, what do you get out of lying on the internet?

problem solved.
> NO ONE WANTS A THIN PHONE
hundreds of millions of people want a thin phone
> if it means poor battery life
the iPhone doesn't have poor battery life, it has really good battery life for the usage patters of the vast majority of customers
> and a weak frame that can bend during normal use
This is not a real problem.

I agree that Apple needs to give people better reasons to upgrade their phone, they're clearly out of ideas and are squarely into incrementalism.
Deal with it.
It's not complicated.
