Hmm, so when Neil Armstrong completely changed the landing site and trajectory because he was looking out the window and saw a field of house-sized boulders, he did that with the computer rather than with the hand controllers that were controlling attitude thrusters and descent engine throttle?
This revisionist history brought to you by someone who is completely and utterly wrong.
And hopefully the lesson that is learned is that you should never cut short QA time just to try to take the jam out of a competitor's donut.
This fiasco is going to hang around their neck like "you are holding it wrong" continues to haunt Apple. Except that was bad reception, not physical danger, and airport gate announcements about your phone (girlfriend heard one of these on Monday while flying to Chicago - American Airlines was specifically talking about the Galaxy Note 7)
The workstation hasn't existed since MacPro5,1 was discontinued, and they fucked over Final Cut Studio. The pro users have been vanishing ever since.
Why buy 3 year old hardware that was fairly "meh" when introduced, when you can get a Windows workstation with far more performance and actually up-to-date GPUs for the same price? Sure, you don't get OS X or Final Cut, but they fucked over their Final Cut users already (good job making Final Cut X not be able to open previous Final Cut projects, or talk to Final Cut Server - brilliant!) and they went to Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer - both of which run on Windows.
Prepress figured out long ago that the iMac has enough horsepower for what they do, so they no longer buy Mac Pro either.
The pro user community that is still relying on Apple is vanishing, and Apple doesn't seem to give a shit.
You hold your device over the payment terminal and give your fingerprint. The device shows a green check mark. The merchant's terminal then immediate shows an authorized payment and starts printing the receipt.
Maybe because there's never been a service in the history of banking that some fuckhead banker hasn't tried to attach a fee to, and it was far easier to just nip that in the bud straight away?
Completely wrong. The only thing that makes the NFC payments that existed before and Apple Pay similar is that they both use NFC, and they are both doing contactless payment.
How they go about doing that is incredibly different, and to say they "copied" what Android was doing only demonstrates your complete lack of knowledge of the two systems.
Then clearly you've never been a victim of any kind of fraud.
It's a total pain in the ass to have to log into every single thing that does electronic billing, or every single place you've ever saved your credit card for convenience (Amazon, PayPal, etc.) and change it because some fuckhead tried to skim your card.
Skimming cannot happen with ApplePay, therefore the above simply could not happen, and I would not have lost several hours of my life to the inconvenience of payment card fraud.
Hopefully this is a lesson that is studied and learned across many market segments: rush a release just to take the jam out of a competitor's donut, and you might end up cutting a corner that costs the company $5B in real costs, and far more in intangible costs (damage to brand, reduced customer loyalty, etc.)
You would hope so, and in some organizations that happens. I've sit in on a few engineering discussions where a response was being created to a "marketing requirements document" for a new product. You would be surprised (or maybe not, I don't know) at some of the shit that marketeers ask for when dreaming up products. And the engineering team gets to respond to these "requirements" often by saying things like "if some massive breakthrough in materials science happens in the next month, which allows for a 30% reduction of weight while increasing structural strength by 50%, then we can meet this requirement. Otherwise, it's not physically possible with current technology."
By the way, that's usually the flowery language that gets sent to marketing, after everyone has a good laugh and a guessing game at what they might be smoking when they came up with the MRD.
It's time to take your medicine. There is no conspiracy here - people don't like the idea that a phone can burn their fucking house down, even if the probability is low. This isn't a hard concept to grasp.
Most people (e.g. people that don't post to Slashdot) don't give a shit about all the capabilities that Android has.
They want a big technoslab that they can text from, look shit up on the web, take selfies and post them to the Book of Faces, read reviews about the place they are going to eat, get directions to that place, and occasionally make phone calls.
Just about any phone out there, including the iPhone, meets those "requirements".
Also, your loose comparison of the iPhone 7 to a moped is ridiculous, and shows bias.
KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a note to investors that approximately 50 percent of those who ordered a Note 7 are now very likely to go for an iPhone 7,
Just keep reading. No, I'm not demanding you actually read TFA either - nobody does that.
the "obvious replacement" that isn't actually available to buy. They need a phone *now* because the one they have is either in an asbestos box on the slow boat back to Korea, or in danger of immolating their pants / car / house / etc.
Good job being obtuse. You responded to the actual situation, rather than the hypothetical.
Can you seriously not think of some scenario where you are already engaged with police without knowing it, and "disengaging" would simply increase the level of suspicion? If you can't then I'm thinking that you really do live in a basement and just get everything delivered by Amazon and DoorDash.
Another example that happened to me: you are in a park on a particularly beautiful fall day. You have your camera because you want to also take some pictures. You're taking pictures and a police officer walks up and starts asking you pointed questions because the park also happens to be a water reservoir for the city, and he's thinking that you are casing the joint for some future attack due to you vaguely pointing the lens in his direction, even though he has no idea what you have framed, and the level of telephoto zoom you are using in order to get his car out of the shot. How do you not deal with that?
There are thousands of completely innocent non-law breaking actions that can be taken every day that can be interpreted as something that police will take issue with. To say that "I don't break the law therefore I never deal with the police" is asinine, and you sound like a complete fucking moron.
I doubt it's about stealing a joke. It's more about potential ticket holders seeing the material on YouBook rather than buying a ticket and attending the show.
Slashdot Mirror
You realize he's talking about the precedent set by every other car manufacturer out there, which use ECUs and exhaust systems?
Except that basically every SSD works this way.
The more chips, the more throughput because each chip can be written to simultaneously.
There is no legal requirement to not release tax returns while under audit, but there is plenty of legal advise not to, from tax lawyers.
Don't forget reversing the polarity.
Anything can be fixed by reversing the polarity.
The question is more accurately phrased this way:
Was it a powered descent as planned, or did it employ the secondary landing procedure that involves lithobraking and a rapid unplanned disassembly?
Hmm, so when Neil Armstrong completely changed the landing site and trajectory because he was looking out the window and saw a field of house-sized boulders, he did that with the computer rather than with the hand controllers that were controlling attitude thrusters and descent engine throttle?

Which, the workstation or the pro users?

Oh - online merchant. I haven't used Apple Pay online thingy in the new OS X so I can't comment on that.
I will also read more carefully.
They don't ever ask you for that.
You hold your device over the payment terminal and give your fingerprint. The device shows a green check mark. The merchant's terminal then immediate shows an authorized payment and starts printing the receipt.
How is this hard to understand?

The answer is both. Some people are full of shit, and lots of those people are called "Analysts."

Sometimes market trends don't particularly make sense, especially when that trend is a prompt reaction to a safety recall.
If they are looking for inexpensive, they wouldn't be buying Samsung's flagship device. They would be buying something... inexpensive.
They already did the "new battery" and those combusted too.
Don't you think that if it was as easy as swapping a battery pack, they would still be selling them and not eating what could be a $5B disaster?
This is a problem of fundamental design, or else it would have been fixed and they would still be on the market.
