All the clickbait pundits keep telling me that Apple is doomed if they don't. make the watch more like the also-rans products. Maybe they're full of shit.
For some time now the death penalty has been the opposite of torture,
Nope. A death sentence is psychological torture, no matter how careful the executioner might be to dispatch the condemned with a minimum of physical pain.
not quite the average toddler's level of understanding.
Project much?
Spoken like one with no clue at all of NASA's decades of hostility to private enterprise in space. Google for "OTRAG" for one example of a potential competitor that they pulled out all the stops to kill off.
The American Revolution is proof that you are wrong, as they won the war using only paper money.
Might want to brush up on your history a bit. They won despite the paper money, which was a major hindrance. Google for the phrase "not worth a continental". When the constitution was written, the memory of America's first hyperinflation was very fresh in their minds, which is why the gold and silver clause in the constitution forbids fiat currency.
As I said on the previous post about this situation, who cares? His code still works, and there are no allegations that he's trying to fuck the other contributors or for that matter, practicing his kinks with anyone who's not consenting to how he gets his rocks off.
However repugnant "goreanism" might be, I'm rather more repulsed by someone like you demanding that hackers pass some kind of political purity test. Go fuck yourself.
I'm convinced that battery cars will prove to be the transitional stage between gasoline and hydrogen. Toyota and Honda are the biggest makers of hybrids, and they're both betting on hydrogen, big time.
Toyota's HFC car takes three minutes to refuel for a 300 mile range. That beats any existing battery charging technology all to hell.
I agree that Tesla is a bubble stock, but Musk isn't cooking his books. The shares are up there because of wishful thinking on the part of the investors, not because anyone's lying to them.
For my part, I plan to make a pile of money shorting Tesla whenever Apple enters their market.
Have you seen it? It looks like any of the half-assed knock offs of the original Apple "Aqua" UI that were floating around the web ten years ago. Not an exact copy, but close enough to see what they were trying and failing to do.
Audi's not, Apple is. An Apple car will match Tesla's performance (since that's intrinsic to electric drivetrains), and they will greatly exceed Tesla's user experience.
I've got a better idea: how about I wait until it's been tried out by enough people to come to a consensus, instead of discounting the idea because some guy on/. disparages it?

Publicly traded, privately owned. The only bigger company I know of is Saudi Aramco, which is essentially a department of the Saudi government.

Apple is the most valuable private company in the world. You're delusional.

Speak for yourself. Some of us want to keep what we earn, not steal from our neighbors.

he kept a sex slave for several years.
That's outrageous! What does he think he is, a Saudi royal?
Has this alleged "slave" filed charges against him?

Apple will crush them like a bug.

Apple's P/E ratio is only 17.6. FB's is 40.6. I'd say Apple is undervalued, and FB is a bubble stock.

I doubt that even their apps that will attempt to copy Tesla's screen, will come close to it.
Copy? Of course not. Tesla's UI, while better than average for the auto industry, is far below Apple's standards.
