  1. I know it's fun (and easy) to bash Trump, but he does pay taxes.

    So you mean he lied?"

    "Apple bullying a local council into letting them avoid taxes"

    It's how it happened, a good description of the government of County Cork and is why the penalty is so huge. So kid, tell me the "spun" version. The EU hates Apple's freedoms?

    Say, in you reality, are there Zeppelins in the sky?

    Ah I forgot - the BBC and all the rest other than Breitbart are "fake news" now. Just ignore the chatter of the adults we don't matter.

    Oooh, an "adult". Well, that still wouldn't prove you are not a moron, even adults can be. Your posting proves you are a moron. Your reply proves you are also delusional. By, you moron, wo believes this whole tax thing is about "Apple bullying a local council into letting them avoid taxes".

    EU thought they could change the laws

    Not what happened. It was a simple as Apple bullying a local council into letting them avoid taxes or they would move and take all those jobs with them.

    You think that's what happened? Fuck, where do you get your news from? The Daily Moron?

    I would pick a slightly thicker phone with significantly more battery life over an excessively thin phone with poor battery life that is just for pure fashion.

    Of course you would. And then you wouldn't use it much because it was too heavy to hold comfortably.

    It's actually pretty easy. They just have to not glue the battery to the case....

    Facepalm. That magic "glue" Apple uses is nothing but an adhesive tape, which can easily be removed - if you can't, you are unfit to make any repairs on a phone.

    They tweak the ARM design. Lots of companies tweak their own designs.

    Having a working 64 bit ARM chip 2 years before anybody else is "tweaking designs"?

    Errm, nope. Building a computer for yourself may mean you are a genius. But only realising that that computer can be sold to the public makes you a visionary.

    Apple is an appliance company now

    Now? The Apple I was an appliance - at least compared to the kits other vendors sold. Which was the whole reason for its success.

    And stop pretending that "Pros" don't want appliances - even more than other people they want to work with their tools, not work on them.

    The entirety of Apples hundred billion dollar success is down to producing gadgets for consumers. And, as you seem to insist, upon abandoning the 'Pro' market. Even though Apple forces 'pros' to use their platform to create content for their gadgets.

    Now, when Apple chooses to open up and allow their iOS development tools to run on Linux or Windows machines, it won't be a problem. As it is, they're sorta shooting themselves in the foot as far as developer support.

    Blahfoosle. The MacBook Pro, despite all the poopooing here by people who'd never buy an Apple anyway, is a huge success. In the "Pro" market

    Stalin, like a true leftist authoritarian, would be proud of you, not me, for trying to pass off this Orwellian doublethink. The only problem is you have no power, so it just comes off as petty bullshit.
