The big problem with Apple is that they take decisions on behalf of users because most of them don't know any better.
However, what they should be doing is giving us options and making their decision be the default setting.
Example: When your battery becomes older, it will not hold a charge as long as when the phone is new. When that happens, would you like to: [x] Keep using the phone for the same amount of time as much as possible to the detriment of processor speed and screen brightness [_] Keep using the phone at the same processor speed and screen brightness with a shorter daily battery life
That's a bit verbose, but you get the idea.
Another example: in the older OS X versions, Preview was able to save files in SGI, SGI, TGA and other older formats. In the most recent versions (at least 10.9 and above), those older formats are no longer listed when trying to save an image. However, if you hold the [Option] key, you get them back. But you have to know that holding this key will magically give you the list of all formats supported by Preview. Why can't they display "(Hold [option] for more formats)" next to the pull-down menu?
I can't find any Apple TV on amazon.ca, so I guess the problem isn't only between Amazon and Google, although I did get PrimeVideo added to my 3rd-generation Apple TV a few weeks ago (Canada).
Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!
It's not about "no alerts or not", it's about not wasting time on platforms which give you basically nothing.
I also forgot, first one should have been "No YouTube". It's so easy watching one video, then another, then another... you start viewing cat videos and end up looking at 1980's hardware hacks for some reason.

Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet.

And they did neither of these, which is why people are now complaining.

Don't stress over it, but whoever converts it to another language will be under a lot of pressure.
Maybe he's making fun of the people being kicked out of work because they're the ones who were responsible for him being kicked out of work.
And it's not like the Newton was the first device with a touch screen either.

I thought he meant this one.
Surprised it took so many comments before someone finally stated the obvious.
But the News at 11 is just more sound waves!

Technically, you're selling the ground that's around the hole.
