This alone shows how stupid your argument is. The iPad Mini is 8", and as soon as Apple released it, everybody suddenly released 8" tablets in addition to the perfectly sized 7" tablets.
When a business achieves overwhelming success in an area and is recognized as the market leader, it is very difficult for that company to adopt a strategy that could be seen as disruptive to the way they know the market has worked to date.
And yet Apple is the company that has done that difficult thing several times. While others try to copy them and fail.
I take it you missed the entire Tim Cook comment of "Why would you buy a PC?" at the iPad Pro retail launch? Tim Cook doesn't think you should buy a PC when instead you could buy an iPad Pro.
So I'm not "nuts" at all, I'm simply taking on board what Tim Cook has actually said.
And yet you conveniently ignore that he said this wasn't the case for everyone. Just for "many, many people".
Being that OSX is a PC operating system I'm guessing they won't combine OSX and iOS because he believes laptops and desktops are dying technology that no longer needs his attention.
No, he believes that while a hammer is a great tool, and a screw-driver is a great tool, a screw-hammer isn't such a good idea.
These products [iPad and MacBook] should remain separate.
Where does this leave a high school student who has received an iPad as a gift only to discover that it's not suitable for the programming homework that her computer science teacher has assigned?
Work remote from the iPad on a Linux machine "in the cloud".
music pros (AKA HIPSTERS) have switched from macs to surfaces years ago. You can do real work with a surface.
And yet far more music professionals still use iPads. Mostly because you couldn't give any real reason why somebody would switch to the Surface instead of a PC notebook - and they chose the iPad over PC notebooks for more than one reason. There certainly doesn't seem to be any Surface specific music software. BTW FTFY.
I guess he didn't think of the tablet with a keyboard running a workbook OS like the Surface Pros. Microsoft sort of tried what the iPad Pro is with their Surface RT, an app based device, and it was an unmitigated disaster. Cook should have learned from that. Leo Laporte today showed an iPad Pro with the Logitech keyboard-case and it was bigger and heavier than his Macbook and only $100 less costly. Apple certainly could make a Macbook with touch using OS X having a removable keyboard. I think it would sell like hotcakes.
No, it wouldn't. Because the Modbook has been available for almost a decade now, and doesn't.
if he didnt see it as a threat, he would ignore it like all the other devices that compete.
It's kind of hard to ignore something when you are asked about it in an interview. Well, he could have said "No comment", but you would have taking that as proof he was shaking in his boots.
Beats Music is a streaming music service sort of like Spotify and Google Music. Like both those services, you could create playlists and I guess could "subscribe" to other people's playlists.
Those are going away with no way to recover them.
So, no, they don't get to keep what they bought. Like pretty much every cloud software, once the servers put down, whatever data you had stored in them is gone forever.
What happens to my Beats Music service?
You can easily move your current Beats Music subscription over to Apple Music. Just open Beats Music on your iOS device and you’ll be prompted to join Apple Music. Once you’ve signed up, the playlists you’ve created or subscribed to and the albums you’ve saved in your Beats Music library will all be available to you in Apple Music.
It's also worth pointing out that terrorist groups will make themselves more and more annoying until they are dealt with. Better to deal with them when the numbers are smaller, rather than waiting until the casualties are significant.
Well, the British should have acted sooner, before the terrorists got their own state out of their actions.
And remember to kill as many innocent civilians as possible while fighting terrorists, that way they can''t become infected with terrorism.
murderous christian barbarians who invaded their heartland a thousand years ago
Wow history much. The crusades were a response to Islamic expansionism and the fact that Islam was cutting off the path from Europe to the holy land. The Crusaders were hardly barbarians and the crusades were NOT unprovoked.
Considering the Crusaders actually did most of their killing in Europe - yeah, Barbarians would never do that.
Slashdot Mirror
then when she gets into her school's computer lab, pull down the code from the git server, and build it and run it and debug it there at school.
In other words, she would have to do the majority of iteratively improving the program, and thus the majority of her homework, at school
No, on her iPad at home and on the server at school. At the same time. Have you even used an iPad or a computer in the last 15 years?
Well, they had a huge ad budget ten years ago, to catch hipsters like you, and they still ran their business into the ground.
7" tablet
This alone shows how stupid your argument is. The iPad Mini is 8", and as soon as Apple released it, everybody suddenly released 8" tablets in addition to the perfectly sized 7" tablets.
The real killer for productivity in iOS is the lack of user space accessible file system.
That's how they do DRM. We can thank copyright law for that.
No, that's how they keep your flashlight app from stealing all your data like they do on Android.
If graphics tablets were viable replacements for mice, everybody would have one.
If mice were viable replacements for a finger, everybody would have ten.
Which for me is a big disappointment. I'd already have an iPad Pro if it could pair a Bluetooth mouse to go with the bluetooth keyboard.
For what, pray tell?
10. MAC ADDRESS FILTERING I am well aware that MAC address filtering is far from perfect.
Actually, it's just as pointless as SSID-hiding.
> You must be doing some weird things with your Mac.
Such as using it out of the box?
> Why don't you just disable the gestures you don't like?
I did. I know how to do that, and you know how to do that, but the average user never ever go "WTF? Why did all my windows fly off the screen??"
Errm, most of the gestures are disabled by default. Did you actually ever use a Mac?

We will never make a larger phone.
I bet you were among those who claimed that the 3.5" was too big back when Apple introduced the iPhone. Many people claimed that,

Or will they, in two years form now?
Or maybe they let somebody else do it almost 9 years ago. http://www.modbook.com/

I want to be able to run the OS it had when I bought it.
Then you will have to buy from a company utterly unable to bring out a new version of their OS for years after they announced the new version.

Not of the religious kind.
Of course, none of this would have been any better if FingerWorks had simply gone bankrupt and shut down.
Apple wouldn't have taken down the forum
Google would never shut anything down.

That's because the US has Greens while France doesn't.
Call me when a Green presidential candidate gets more than 5% of the popular votes in the US.

Climbing over a fence and placing a block is pretty easy.
And a drive-by shooting is hard?
