Why the fuck hasn't Apple allowed bluetooth mice at least on an application-specific basis?
So lets ignore that there was no problem with Apple allowing it in this app - and more importantly also ignore all the other apps that already support them for years (including 3rd party RDP apps) - isn't self righteous indignation great even if it means you have to ignore reality?
I don't understand what was wrong with the original ASCII apostrophes, etc.
And I don't understand why the ASCII guys wasted so many bits on supporting so many different braces - the !|! should be enough to replace them all |see, just like that|.
or maybe slashdot should just null posts with those characters.. It's the same reason it doesn't allow emoticons.. It would turn this site into a twatter shitfest..
Yeah, only support ASCII art trolls- that suits you old timers much better than a proper quote character.
Obviously enough that Netflix received over $800 Million a year just from those iOS users that paid for their subscription via the app.
Using IOS to pay for Netflix and occasionally watch Netflix is not the same as watching Netflix exclusively on your phone. My guess is most of that $800 million will still flow to Netflix a different way. Netflix is likely making the same assumption.
I can't imagine Apple allowing that sort of behavior to stand.
All they would have to do is pull the app from iTunes. They aren't required to provide the user base to Netflix for nothin ya know.
What percentage of people watch Netflix exclusively on iOS?

Microsoft has to learn how to make software like everyone else. You need to keep compatibility with the big fish, and not just do your own thing, and thinking everyone will switch to your method.
I am sorry, I had to code too many IE 6 workarounds and not put in new features due to having to keep IE 6 compatibility for so long, I have no sympathy to this Edge engineer.
So you blame the Edge engineer for the IE engineer's actions from 20 years ago - but you don't blame Google for doing pretty much the same what MS did 20 years ago. You are my hero! No, wait - you are Google's bitch!
Austria-Hungary only declared war (actually make a whole series of utterly unreasonable demands which if not met would lead to war) because it had the backing of Germany. The Kaiser could have told Austria-Hungry to got take a hike, but they wanted a war. Had Germany told Austria-Hungary to take a hike no war.
The United Kingdom only entered the War because Germany decided to invade Belgium a neutral country which the UK had signed up to guarantee.
The Kaiser and his Prussian mates in the German Army wanted a war and used the assassination as an excuse.
The other heads of states of Europe and their military also wanted a war. Every single one. Because they all thought that they could easily win that war. Don't fucking pretend.
Like when they tried to force the US to keep the Iran deal because they wanted to keep pumping oil.
Errm, you mean like any other country apart from the US and Israel? Because nobody believes the bullshit claims about Iran. Not because of the oil, but because of the facts.
Or did you mean the war against Iraq, where Germany refused to join because they said there was no evidence? And it later turned out there really was no evidence, but all just a bunch of lies by the US.
The Germans are very heavily invested in China - machinery, trains, industrial equipment, tech. You cannot stab your biggest trading partner in the face because the US says so.
Errm, Germany`s biggest Export partner is the US. Wouldn't it make more sense to listen to the guys that make you money instead of those you pay money to?
They have G*D's word forbid "boiling a (kid) goat in its mother's milk" - and keep separate dinnerware related to all milk and meat just to be safe. Why should they risk the wrath of YHWH just because of vat grown meat?
Amazon should use their other playbook and just start selling their own Smartwater (TM) forcing the Coke Dealers out of business. And even when they sell it at a tenth of the price, they'll still finally make money on something else besides AWS.
So you admit having posters of Apple users hanging over your bed when you play with your tiny dick and when you don't admit you are wrong. Typical self-hating Apple-Hateboi.
No, your dick is eensy weesny. What's your point? Your dick.
You know what's fucking huge? Your insecurity about Android's ever more rapidly declining market share. Almost as big as the insecurity about your tiny dick.
As you know, Apple just cut back its I-phone parts orders by 30%. Merry Christmas to you too.
Say the same people who said the same last couple of years - when it obviously turned out to be false. So it must be right this time. Because they can't always be wrong.
BTW, who would have thought a Climate Change post on Slashdot would devolve into argumentative threads about slavery?
Well, maybe the conservatives begin to think that "slavery isn't bad (and not our fault anyway)" is an argument easier to win than "Global Warming is a hoax".

People voted for Trump because Hillary was worse.
Even if (big if) - like he said they still get butt fucked. Maybe vote Jill Stein next time.

They put it into a "laptop". With huge "finger doing the air quotes thing" around that word.

You donâ(TM)t pay extra. The only change is that Netflix is removing your ability to go through the iOS app.
Well, what changes is that you can no longer pay your Netflix subscription with rebated iTunes cards - which means you actually pay more.
The other change is that you don't reward Apple for doing nothing. It may delay next Netflix price hike. It may allow Netflix to pay for a few shows.
Yeah - or they continue to put even more blatant product placement in their shows.

PS: Germany gets more oil from the US than from Iran. and the US is way down on the list. So much for that dumb theory.

Was he being beaten simultaneously with a polar penguin, as was tradition in Germany during that time?
Too bad your silly little retort joke failed because you used "polar" instead of "Arctic".

You can't update your own software on any smartphone in the same context that this story is in though.
Yes you can, but it is a security risk: https://apple.slashdot.org/sto...
An because security risks are always Apple's fault, they don't allow it: https://apple.slashdot.org/sto...

12% global share is eensy weesny.

Fact: Apple global smartphone share = 12%
Slightly going up YOY from 11.8% to 12.4% while Android's going down (because nothing else could have gone down) - thanks for disproving yourself.
You didn't actually understand the numbers, right?
Paper cash handling is one of the most unhygienic thing you can do around food.
You're asking for the President of the United States to be assassinated.
Thanks to Trump, that's the presidential thing to do.
