Just because someone doesn't want to waste their time debugging some piece of shit PC doesn't make them an "idiot", it means that they value their own time enough to not want to waste it. I spend my time doing deeply technical work during the day, I don't want to spend my off hours debugging my home computer, or my wife's computer, etc. So I use a Mac at home and I encourage my friends & family to do the same.
And so do you--but not without chuckling to yourself first about what idiots those people are.
Real engineers care about solving real problems. I'm completely unimpressed by posers who see tech knowledge as a weapon they can use to shit on everyone else. Invariably, in my experience, those people are terrible at tech and even worse at being a human.
Oh, and perhaps you are outside the US, but in the US the most-expensive [standard-config] iMac is $2300 and has a 2TB Fusion drive (which is a hybrid SSD/spinning disk).
So Apple gets to play referee between a thousand crappy banks and a billion angry customers? And as a special bonus many of those customers are going to blame Apple whether it's their fault or not! All for 0% of the transaction fee? What a deal!
I can't imagine why Apple isn't signing up for that.
I once chastised my wife, "how can you not be curious how the TV works?" and she replied "how can you not be curious how your circulatory system works?". And she was right.
Do you think people who design bridges sit around complaining that "all these idiots driving over our bridges and they know nothing of the nuanced load bearing tradeoffs between suspension bridges and cable stayed--they just want to get to the other side". No, they don't, but for some reason we criticize people who don't care about the difference between an iPhone and an Android.
so there's really no point in listening to anything you say. You're not physiologically capable of ingesting any information that doesn't reinforce your irrational hatred for Hillary Clinton. Whether it's because of a deep-seeded hatred for women (did your mommy not hug you enough?), or just maybe the sight of a powerful woman is a trigger for your micro-phallyic self-loathing, or maybe it's just that you're too fucking stupid to realize that you've been brogrammed by right wing talk radio to hate someone they are threatened by--either way you are a lost cause.
That's what this really boils down to. For thirty years old white men have hated Hillary Clinton with a fiery passion specifically because she is a powerful woman. We've had to listen to thirty years of made-up conspiracy theory bullshit blowing every little thing involving the Clintons into some giant scandal.
1. THE ENTIRE FUCKING BUSH ADMINISTRATION USED PRIVATE EMAIL, YOU DUMB FUCK. 2. BENGHAZI HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE HILLARY DID ANYTHING WRONG (you dumb fuck) 3. THE CLINTON FOUNDATION IS A FUCKING CHARITY, YOU DUMB FUCK
Is she perfect? No, of course not. Is she a politician? Yes, and she acts like a politician. But, you're holding her to a standard that you've never held any other politician to.
I'm wasting my breathe, because you are just not physiologically capable of realizing your own internal double-standard, and you're too fucking stupid to ever change your mind. Thank God that dumb fucking morons like you are still a minority in this country.
Please point me to the waterproof phone with a replaceable battery which is as thin & light as the iPhone 7, with equivalent performance & battery life.

There's just no comparison.

As proof, please see your same link.
Congrats.

And, depending on how you count, >60% of the people in the country live in urban areas. I guess we're all idiots.
Or maybe you're such a narcissist that you can't imagine a different way of life than your own.
Please don't force me to work less just so that you don't feel peer pressure to work more.
I guess that means I'm way worse off.

> The firm's assignment is to formally verify -- a sort of computer-code audit, using mathematics
That's like saying: "an MRI is a sort of selfie, using magnets".
> consumers really like having removable batteries
Pretty much all the best-selling smartphones have non-removable batteries.
Did you mean to say "the completely irrelevant smug technorati at Slashdot really like having removable batteries"?
1. Didn't call a regional neighbor a country of rapists
2. Didn't confess a crush on Vladimir Putin
3. Didn't threaten to pull out of NATO
You and I clearly have different ideas of what constitutes "ability and skill" in foreign policy. Dick.

It has exactly the same effect on this election as just not bothering to show up to vote at all.
If you want to make a statement to get better candidates, then do it during the primary--that's what they're for.
Samsung Galaxy S5 dimensions: 145.3 x 73.4 x 8.9 mm, 170.1 g
iPhone 7 dimensions : 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm, 138 g
I won't even bother with the benchmarks, because we're comparing phones that are 2+ years apart--but obviously the iPhone kills the S5.
You ever think that maybe the reason Samsung has followed Apple on the integrated battery (etc.) is because they can't compete otherwise?
Please point me to the waterproof phone with a replaceable battery which is as thin & light as the iPhone 7, with equivalent performance & battery life.
Apple has had non-user replaceable batteries since the original iPhone (almost 10 years now) and they haven't lost a billion in valuation due to that.
If it's any consolation, no one who buys an iPhone cares what some random website thinks about their phone choice.
Her current one sounds like a judgmental dick.
He's not funny, and he's not insightful.
In my experience only truly stupid people find him to be either.
Also, in my experience truly stupid people think that not voting is somehow political action.
Apple has sold > 15 million Apple watches, and that's a tiny sliver of their business.
