Yes Apple never announces it. But curiously it always 'leaks' and something the leaks are too close to reality. Some people think its an astroturfing campaign masquerading as a leak. I don't have a clue and I don't care.
Yeah, let's just ignore all the 90% leaked Apple products that never came out. Because clearly Apple didn't release them to spite the rumor mongers.
The main failure of AppleTV is a lack of sufficiently aggressive channel acquisition. That's why I bought a Roku, even though I have many Apple products. Unless Apple TV is the precursor of something big using that technology, Apple could perhaps have saved money and lowered costs by buying Roku, keeping that team, and rebranding.
Yeah, they didn't make a success of the Apple TV, so its not like everything they touch magically becomes popular. They had their failures in the past.
Depends on the definition of "success" - Apple TV was in the top ten of Amazon "Televisions & Video Products" sales charts for years. Still is.
Apple releases updates that cripple your device after a couple of years. Google has had some criticism for not updating older Nexus devices but actually you get most of the new features via app updates and your device never gets really slow.
In fact all Android devices get updates after leaving the factory directly from Google via Play, even if the manufacturer doesn't so firmware updates. Most manufacturers do firmware updates these days though.
Many Android devices can't even access Google Play, nor do they get updates. Stop lying.

A mouse driven text editor is nice as a set of training wheels but kind of a drag if you ever get anywhere beyond total novice.
Usable the first time you sit down with it and usable 10 years later aren't always the same thing.
If you are too dumb to use the build in (and well defined over the whole platform) keyboard shortcuts of Mac text editors - how the hell are you going to use vi or Emacs?
The best models that they have are ones that have as part of them global warming. Can you point us at other models that have produced better predictions ?
No, I thought not... so let us go with the best models that we have, even if they do have flaws.
Here's someone's model that is beating the prediction of all the pro's:
How about Giordano Bruno? What'd he do, give the Pope a wedgie in the locker room after basketball practice?
Considering he more or less pissed off just about everybody he ever met, and had run ins with all major Protestant churches too, yeah, something like that. Saying that Christ isn't God's Son (TM) tends to aggravate Christians, even today.
Actually, the IPCC models came out for a long time lower as observed (or the observations were close to the upper limit of the models). And even with the alleged pause of globally raising temperatures, we are still way into the predicted range of raising temperatures.
Ahh, but you are looking at the actual model output, not the Monckton version widely spread in sceptic cycles, where you take some far away endpoint and do a linear interpolation.
Funny how kooks always think the are Galileo, and not one of thousands of crackpots who were also laughed at. Especially when their ideas aren't brand new and revolutionary, but old and stale.
Pardon the question: is your beef with playing games, or just with not playing them on the device you played games on when you were a kid, like god intended them to be played?

Apple TV was launched in 2007, it's getting on for seven years old. 13m is the stated lifetime sales.
So you are claiming the Apple TV died over half a year ago.

Funny you shod mention Roku - because Apple TV clearly outsells them. http://gigaom.com/2013/07/16/apple-tv-roku-sales-stats/

***It's usually a good rule do thumb to never buy the first iteration of any computer software or hardware product at all, especially software.***
Not hardware -- only the Apple fanboys make such statements about hardware, because Apple has such a terrible history of problems.
By the way, you're holding it wrong!
And so does everybody else

So basically Lenovo got a server manufacturer for almost $1Billion less than Snapchat is worth.
Yeah, or Nest.

When the best prediction by a "climate sceptic" predicts rising temperatures in the future, you know things are bad.
Because it's not Kosher if dairy and meat are prepared together, mostly.
So one mixer for milk shakes and one for meat shakes?
Who's paying you? I simplified the quote.
You CHANGED the "quote" to have a different meaning. You must be a politician.

What is PAYMENT? The [...] promise [of] the delivery of money[...] Nope, your link agrees with me, and not you.
BY. Not OF. Nice way to manipulate the "quote". Are you a professional liar? Who pays you?
Good thing you're not blind - well apart from against every company but Apple.
Once you approve a purchase, a child can shop unsupervised for 30 minutes—and ring up big charges
Nope, because I view the credibility of those that say the landing was a hoax as lower than the credibility of those that say it actually happened.
Considering the things they said in this thread, I don't. But feel free to believe obvious liars.
Where is the option to receive an email whenever something is put in the cart at Target?
FTFY
Nope. When *I* pay (authorizing payment is paying legally
Nope. You already lost. http://thelawdictionary.org/payment/
There were three *entire* sentences that were self-plagiarized?
No. There were more. But those three are already enough to discredit the whole paper. Because that's one thing you shouldn't do. Never.
Wow! That means as a software developer, I must self-plagiarize all the time!
And if you reuse code you wrote as a contractor, you may actually be in trouble.
That's exactly what they told Galileo.

At Target, you get the receipt when you pay. That's temporally related. With Apple, you get it sometime later.
Wrong.
That the purchase and receipt are not temporally related.
That's because payment and receipt are. Just like at Target.
