How much does it cost to repair Soros speakers if they break? That's who Apple said they are competing with here, and those speakers are more expensive.
Apple is not competing with an Echo, they are competing with Sonos. Apple is selling a home speaker system that has Siri, not a home assistant that has crappy speakers.
Netflix didnâ(TM)t ask for the hosting, ISPs ask them for local caching to take the strain off their network and they provide it. Verizon was greedy enough to demand Netflix pay extra or be throttled. They throttled Netflix to sub-HD speed and pretended it must be internet congestion despite documented traceroutes and VPN proof of speed. Netflix publicly aired the dispute on their loading page for Verizon customers and Verizon flipped their lid, denying what we already know.
Impressive false narrative there. In reality Netflix offered free servers to ISPs for local streaming at full HD. Verizon turned them down because they thought they could squeeze the ISP for more money, downgrading the streams and lying about it.
They'd never get that low? Look at all the problems the Pixel phone has, they have a lot more than 12 complaints on their screen problems. Same with Samsung. Multiplying by 1000 is my attempt to be generous and give you benefit of the doubt, even so that would still only be a 00.12% failure rate, and since Apple is allowing everyone to swap their device at an Apple Store I don't think this is as big a deal as you claim.
Generally those who post on the Apple forums are tech-savvy people. Not people like my parents for example, hence they are more likely than the rest to report a problem. But let's pretend for every post there's 100 others with the same problem who never said anything. Heck, make it 1000. So, 12,000 devices with faulty speakers in a batch of 10,000,000 first-run models? Somewhat lower than average for any device actually.
Well over 10 million iPhone Xâ(TM)s shipped, but since there were 24 posts on a forum it must be a systematic problem with the entire line (as the headline and article imply)? Come on.
Apple has to look out for security for users. The TouchID sensor is tied to the Secure Enclave, replacing it will cause the phone to detect it and fail to work. Thatâ(TM)s an important security feature; otherwise anyone could swap the TouchID sensor and log into any phone with their existing fingerprints. And Apple explained this back during the iPhone 5S; since they have to be resynced it means Apple canâ(TM)t support third party parts for the secure portions of hardware. Itâ(TM)s not a plot to scam more money from you, since a pretty small user base ever needs to replace TouchID sensors etc. The FaceID sensors will be the same as they have a unique key that seeds the faces to prevent forgery and replay attacks.
Thatâ(TM)s a conspiracy theory. Apple doesnâ(TM)t design their devices to stop working, and not only do benchmarks prove this but Apple engineers promised they would resign if ever asked to do that by apple.
Apple didnâ(TM)t do it to sell accessories, although it helps. Youâ(TM)d be surprised how few iPhone owners use the headphones or use bluetooth and speaker instead. Apple knew what they were doing.
Google was working on Tango for ages. That was a major undertaking. But in this case it appears they stripped out many of its features and renamed it to match Apple's in a "Us Too!" strategy.
Does google really have no shame if they immediately rush to copy Apple within weeks of their own announcement and release? They even changed the project name to further mimic it.
Politico hosted one of the Republican debates. It's popular among Republicans. Daily Caller is much further to the right. You're trying to attack the messenger.
Trump's tweets are awful, they embarrass America, they embarrass himself, they are tremendously unprofessional and demean the office he occupies. Republicans used to fume that Obama "demeaned" the office by not wearing an acceptable suit in the White House, yet let this guy act like a buffoon and with awful language? Please.
As much I love watching Trump self-destruct his own administration's policies with his tweets and his big mouth, demolish his own court cases because he can't help blurting things out on Twitter, and watching Sean Spicer and his staff try to twist themselves into logical knots trying to explain that Trump never makes mistakes or that those typos were just new words he invented intentionally, it's exhausting and at some point we have to stop him before he wrecks the office of president for good.
The problem is that most of the public still uses web-based email (GMail, Yahoo, etc) and mobile. Gmail won't support even the most basic of encryption because their entire business model depends on reading other people's emails.
What GMail COULD do is put some sort of header on GPG-signed emails saying that this is certified as from an account.
I don't know WHY Google is doing this. That description doesn't sound like it will do anything significantly better than an existing OS. QNX is a Realtime Operating System that also runs on a small hardware footprint, Android and Chromium already scale to mobile devices and desktops, what niche will this Fuschia run in?
This isn't a free speech issue, since this isn't the government censoring anything, but rather privately-owned news and video sites deciding not to host such videos.

11.0 was buggy. 11.1 fixed most of it. Iâ(TM)m on 11.2 beta and itâ(TM)s much improved.
People griped the same about 9.0 and 10.0. This isnâ(TM)t much different
Thatâ(TM)s a very skewed way to look at it.

The existence of the dongle disproves that, because the analog hole is unchanged.
Appleâ(TM)s Airpods are pretty good and donâ(TM)t seem to have issues. Theyâ(TM)re well reviewed.
This is silly. Just because you disagree with small things doesnâ(TM)t mean the entire company is bad at design.
Apple has thought long and hard about Lighting and USB-C. Lightning is smaller so they use that on their phones and headphones case etc.

Simple, that wasn't AR. It was a Pokémon superimposed on a video. Did the Pokémon move in relation to objects in the scene? No. Could you circle around the Pokémon? No.
True AR is coming this fall in iOS 11 and those demos are actually impressive.

Politico is actually quite pro-Republican, so your ad hominem argument is false.

Hillary is married to a white man. I don't recall her bashing white men, do you have any other straw men to beat?
