Either way, Tim Cook seems more like a salesman than an inventor. Same problem Microsoft had with Steve Ballmer.
Funny - you guys said the same about Steve Jobs until he died. Then he suddenly became the one true inventor that kept Apple alive. "Due already Apple, you should have imploded the second now that Steve died."
Have you ever considered that not understanding Apple when Jobs was still alive is no good reason to believe you understand Apple after Steve died?
The last sentence isn't a fabrication. The article itself in order to generate clicks is a fabrication. Figure it out yet?
Gee, watch any other video of the inauguration then (at least 12 billion did so already - huuuuge numbers of viewers) - and you will find the exact same thing. Unless you are fucking stupid and call yourself Mashiki.
Apple said it was getting out of the monitor business, and instead chose to work more closely with third-party partners, heavily featuring LG's 5K and 4K UltraFine displays at its recent MacBook Pro unveiling.
AFAIK, Apple was never in the panel manufacturing business. They used to make Apple-branded monitors, but those simply used panels manufactured by and bought from a third party (Samsung, LG, Sharp, and lately JDI - Japan Display Inc).
So when the reviews rave about a Macbook's display, it's an Apple screen. When the reviewers complain about it, it's an LG screen.
When there is a LG sticker on the damn monitor, it's a LG monitor. How is that hard to understand?
Oh, about your " simply used panels manufactured by and bought from a third party " bot - why don't these third parties use these same screens in their own products and get the same good reviews for them, if there is nothing specifically Apple-y about them?
Embedded in a quote, "[sic]" actually doesn't mean that the preceding word/phrase is 'correct' or 'incorrect' from a grammar, spelling (or factual) standpoint -- just that it IS an accurate quote even though the preceding might be incorrect OR be misinterpreted as incorrect.
A quote is correct when it accurately states what the quoted person said.
If I write the moon is made of ice cream, that is incorrect. If I write He said "the moon is made of ice cream," that is correct (if he actually said that.)
So what if you write He said "the moon is made of ice creme," - what is correct and what did he say? He said "the moon is made of ice creme [sic]." - clear now?
OTOH if, like me, you dislike OSX Photos, don't use iCloud or have an iDevice, it's really annoying how Photos insists on popping up whenever you connect a camera or insert an SD card. I consider Photos one of the things I most dislike about using OS X.
Well, if you dislike that behaviour so much, why don't you just turn it off? It's not like it's hard to find - unless you are focused on not finding it, or don't actually have a Mac.
It won't change so very fast that current farmland becomes unusable in 1 season.
It doesn't has to become "unusable". It only has to become unsuitable for the crops grown before. Because the farmer's tools are tailored for those crops, and they don't make enough to either change those machines or move a hundred miles north and buy all new farmland.
There's no scenario in which climate change is going to reduce the overall ability of the planet to support life, including human life. We know what a warm Earth looks like, and it's far more dense with life than the current Quaternary Ice Age.
Oh? And humans could have lived on on this warm Earth? Because the largest mammals back then were rat sized, and dinosaurs roamed the world. So what are you, a rat or a dino?
It's been moved forward because they don't like Trump. That's fundamentally the reason. That's it. No fact. Just opinion.
Seriously. Hillary was openly hostile with Russia, and while I doubt it would have reached the point of increased risk of nuclear war, Russia still has real nukes, so you never know. Trump on the other hand is, if anything, too friendly with Russia.
Oh, so the world is safe because Trump won't turn the nukes against his ally? Too bad there are more countries than just the US and Russia, and that Trump is easily enraged, has an itchy finger and the nuclear launch button is now right next to his twitter app.
No, the doomsday clock is very much meaningless. Basically it does nothing except signifies how unhappy the people who run it are with the current political climate.
Or the actual climate and the way politicians claim it isn't changing.
Too bad the "Pro" is a complete turd. It's ok for home use, but graphics designers and other pros used to macs being the go-to device for work are screwed.
Well, if anyone knows what a turd is, it's most definitely you. Know yourself, you keep mumbling.
Anyway: did your computer get a recommendation from Consumer Reports?
Mossberg: Lousy ads are ruining the online experience:
Last Saturday, as the New England Patriots were sloppily beating the Houston Texans 34–16 in a playoff game, I wanted to look at the highlight video of a play using the NFL app on my iPad. To watch that 14-second clip, I had to suffer through a 30-second ad for something so irrelevant to me that I can’t even recall what it was.
...
But the world has changed as journalism and entertainment have been disrupted by technology. Great power has shifted to the advertisers. I learned this almost immediately after I left the Journal in 2013 and co-founded Recode on January 2nd, 2014.
About a week after our launch, I was seated at a dinner next to a major advertising executive. He complimented me on our new site’s quality and on that of a predecessor site we had created and run, AllThingsD.com. I asked him if that meant he’d be placing ads on our fledgling site. He said yes, he’d do that for a little while. And then, after the cookies he placed on Recode helped him to track our desirable audience around the web, his agency would begin removing the ads and placing them on cheaper sites our readers also happened to visit. In other words, our quality journalism was, to him, nothing more than a lead generator for target-rich readers, and would ultimately benefit sites that might care less about quality.
Yes, this advertiser was bold (no, balled) enough to basically tell Mossberg he will screw him over, and he would not be able to do anything against it, because the only way to oppose him was to get no money at all. As long as they have this power, they will give you more and worse ads. Period.
And this is your fault - because you felt entitled to get everything for free.
So you "heard" that right. Thanks for spreading baseless rumors and opinions instead of FACTS.
He "heard" it from people actually using it, instead of the FACTS from people who have never even seen one. IOW real facts instead of alternative FACTS.

Yes please, and will it make some Earl Grey, Hot?
People who bought "Earl Grey" also bought "hot".
What is Orwellian is the political correctness and all that shit. Trump is the exact oposite
Yeah, Trump is much more like Animal Farm.
Just as it's a fact that an American Ambassador was murdered under Hillary Clinton's watch.
And two were murdered when Ford was President. One each under LBJ, Nixon, Carter. What's your point?
No, the people who would send undesirables off to the gas chambers and ovens are part of his establishment.
Still haven't figured out why you lost huh? Keep digging. You're doing a great job.
Since I'm not American, I didn't lose. Only America lost. Deal with it.

They've always copied. The iPhone is a Sony design for example.

Netcraft confirmed it.
Actual, Webarchive confirmed there never were any reviews on that page. Until after this article came in.
Yeah - it's great - all you have to do is write all the software you need.
Okay so what you're implying is that there's more software available for a Mac than Linux?
Are you implying there isn't? Why? Because Linux has so much proprietary software that can't just be compiled on any POSIX system?
OTOH if, like me, you dislike OSX Photos, don't use iCloud or have an iDevice, it's really annoying how Photos insists on popping up whenever you connect a camera or insert an SD card. I consider Photos one of the things I most dislike about using OS X.

No, what I'm saying is that there's no law requiring FRAND - it's an agreement between private businesses.
So your claim is that since there is no law, these private businesses don't have to follow those agreements. Hint: look up contract law.
