Safari has always been an extremely standards compliant web browser. And Apple is a huge supporter of Webkit which the underlying rendering engine in several other browsers.
You're completely full of shit. You don't like Apple because you don't like Apple customers.
75% of the country is white. FB is obviously doing a very good job of attracting non-white employees--they are [in fact] over-represented by a significant margin.
I'm glad that option is available to people who want to work that way, but it sounds way too rigid for me. I like being able to work on my schedule. What if I get on a roll and want to work later one night and then roll in late the next morning? I don't want the work/life balance Gestapo to padlock my keyboard at 5:00pm and then cattle prod me into the office at 9:00am the next morning. Seriously, it sounds horrible.
Are you claiming that Americans are stupid because we're tricked into working long hours? or are you claiming that it's a myth that Americans work so much because Mexico & Greece work longer hours? (presumably this is why those countries have such impressive economies).
I don't see how you can have it both ways. We're either dumb and exploited for working too much or we're lazier than a couple of countries that need bailouts every other year. Pick one.
Why would they bite off on the hassle of supporting their dev environment running on a bunch of incompatible Linux distributions? (not to mention Windows).
By your own admission Apple does test the products before they reach customers. Your original post claimed that they didn't--obviously that post was wrong.
They were dumbing down the explanation to make it understandable, there's obviously enough of an absorbtion difference to be detectable--that's all that matters.
Maybe stop investing so much of your self-worth into your choice of consumer electronics and then you won't feel the need to invent lame excuses (like bullshit marketing) for why someone else's choice is flawed.
I have also noticed a slight degradation in robustness on iPhones over the years--probably associated with the legalization of dynamic linking and background processes.
they're smart. And maybe you are consistently wrong (by your own admission) because you're stupid. That's the only explanation that fits all available evidence.
People said at the time that Apple would never sell 1M iPods, or iPhones, or iPads. They've sold hundreds of millions of these things. In each of these categories they sold more than 1000x more than what all previous manufacturers in those categories had every sold...combined.
No guarantee they'll do the same here--but everyone who has bet against them before has been catastrophically wrong.

They make hundreds of billions of dollars by selling physical devices to willing customers--it's always been this way.

I have met *a lot* of workaholics--it is a really common personality type in the US for a variety of cultural reasons.
Some people just like to work a lot. People are different.
to most Europeans why someone might enjoy work.

VMS had this 25 years ago.
You know that, right?
Why would they bite off on the hassle of supporting their dev environment running on a bunch of incompatible Linux distributions? (not to mention Windows).
It's entirely possible. Don't bother denying it, the guilty always deny it.
otherwise everything checks out.

Maybe that's what they're doing when they disappear into the backroom for awhile.
You seem to have a solid handle on all the engineering & market challenges involved.
If 2 out of 3 Apple products failed then we probably would have heard about that by now.

It's still pretty solid, though.
F@H is incredibly inefficient.
Huh, I wonder why not.
This is fun.

and it actually has a tremendous amount of historical evidence to back it up.
Who's going to be left to pay your basic income?
