How long until Apple or 3rd party people come up with 2 fingerprints.
One to open it, another to securely ERASE it, all the while it looks like it is
opened up. Come on, if I CAN think of that idea, surely someone has already
thought of it.
(of course if not, all proceeds will be deposited into an offshore bank account of my choosing LOL)
Also considering who it is, selling all of his stock in Apple, could "plunge" the stock, then after it bottoms,
he buys it back at a super low price, and it goes back up and he makes even MORE money.
I'd prefer the 3.5" jack. MECHANICALLY it is superior than the USB-c or mini jack.
The 3.5 is 3 metal clips, surrounded by a plastic case.
The usb series is a tiny circuit board surrounded by nothing to protect it.
The way I see people with ear buds jammed in their ears all the time, that means
connect-disconnect many times during the day, not to mention when recharging.
Those tiny hair like contacts inside that jack, can only handle so much. I had a
Note1 in 2011. The battery would never make it through the day without a recharge
By the time I upgraded to a phone with a bigger battery in 2014, I had worn out that
jack 3 times. I replaced it myself, so the cost was just the board that had the usb jack,
which was less than 10 bucks online.
Now, how are these self absorbed people going to handle their ear phone & charging
jack being broken, and the expense of having it repaired?
They've been raised by government since birth to hate capitalism, and embrace socialism.
It started with schools supplies. Instead of keeping yours in your own desk, you put them in
a "community" pile, where everyone shares them. You play games, EVERYONE gets a medal/ribbon.
Everyone equal.
Then as you get into higher grades, you are "taught" (more like indocrinated) that the USA founders were
white racist slaveholders. And it continues with absolutely NO mention of any Christian or Jewish things, but
want to promote homosexuality, pagan, witchcraft, feel free. It goes on and on that by the time they graduate
college indoctrination centers, they are perfectly trained to embrace socialism.
By the way, socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. It only lasts as long as it does, due to living at the
end of a gun pointed at your head. Every socialist country, has taken away rights of citizens that they will disappear,
if you say something negative about "dear leader".
I see states trying to pass new "no texting" laws, but never use the C&I laws ALREADY on the books.
The new "laws" are just for vote buying anyway.
Just make the phones texting program not work, if you are going more than 5mph, problem solved.
Since BOTH political sides benefit from the abuse, you think anyone will do anything about it?
As I understand it, H1B was to be used ONLY to allow foreign workers in things such as tech fields,
when they cannot find a qualified AMERICAN CITIZEN. With most I.T. support being offshore, it's being
outsourced, in violation of the spirit of the law. Of course, when did politicians obey the law?
Just as with all of the Dyson junk. The circle fan thing just cracks me up. A big giant circle, with a puny ass fan underneath it.
That hand dryer cracked me up when I saw it. "450mph" was a crock. First saw it and said, that's just gonna blast germs
all over the place. But, because it said "Dyson" the hipster types fell for it, just like they do with iPhones.
I remember in the 70's, when this big saturated fat crap started. Eggs are bad, butter is bad, deep frying is bad,
then all of these unsaturated fat things popped up on the market. Now, 40 years later...ummmm sorry, it isn't that
bad for you. Now, in another 40 years, they will change their mind and say it is bad for you.
If people would just stop and realize the tiny little word MODERATION, we would be so screwed up in the head thinking
everything we eat will kill us. Yes, people who have a history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, or
have a family history of it, should moderate their intake, but, for the most part, this stuff won't kill you.
Taking a play out of the bill clinton playbook!
It all depends on what the word "is" is.
I thought Jimmy "peanut farmer" Carter was bad.
THIS moron, takes it to a whole new level!
I just rip MP3's from my collection of CD's.
I'm "old school", mostly early 70's to early 90's, rock, southern rock, blues, jazz....
None of the music today interests me. I can load several hours of music on a DVD
and shove it in the player of my car, listen to what I want, and NO COMMERCIALS.
Best thing could happen to that "sanctuary" city would be "the big one" that would drop it into the ocean.
My aunt & uncle lived there for over 20 years until about 10 years ago. They had enough of what was once
a nice city, that has turned into a bunch of hipster idiots, along with a TON of bums (I deter the term homeless),
drug users, illegal aliens. They sold their house and moved to the midwest were you can still walk down the
street at night, leave your doors open and prices WON'T blow you out the door! You look at any major city,
that has been run (into the ground) by liberals for over 20 years, and you will find it is a diseased cockroach
infested city, in a bad state of decay, with social programs (ie:taxpayers) paying these bums to do nothing but
sit on their ass, smoke dope all day long, then BITCH that they don't have any money, and it's all someone else
fault.
It's all about SHARING your life, so FB can push more crap to you.
It amazes me, people don't want quadcopters flying over their yards, street cameras watching them,
but have no problem with sharing all their lives on their cell phones, twitter, FB, instagram and the like.
It would probably boggle the mind, the number of idiotic selfies with their butts stuck out, kips blown up
that are out there.
Too much POLITICAL crap. I post a lot of photos to family/friends, instead of emailing it.
That's about the extent of my FB activity. Otherwise, I just CALL the person.
People posting about what they dreamed about, selfies, cat videos, what they had for dinner
doesn't interest me.
These are the same people, that, when stopped in the street, cannot find their own state on a map,
think Hitler would be a good VP, get hosed by some talk show guy thinking a phone handed to them
is the NEW iPhone and on and on.
These 20-30 somethings, have been INDOCTRINATED into the culture of socialism, that private business
is BAD, all good comes from government, that they need a "safe space", should be treated like a little
snowflake. Boy, these clowns will get EATEN ALIVE if they ever go into business.
If someone wants to be homosexual, fine, be that way, don't care, but as a Christian, why should I be forced to participate in your "wedding"? It use to be "we reserve the right to refuse service".
Why would two people, want to do business with a business that does not support their choice?
It would be similar to if you took a bunch of Jewish or Muslims into a restaurant, and force them to eat pork products. Or forcing an atheist to pray at a Church service. Not to mention, all you have to do, is go down the
street and find some business who doesn't give a rip what your "lifestyle choice" is. I know & work with homosexual people and they are about as offended in this crap as I am.

People "stealing" content, to actually PAY money to the server hosting it?

From the president ON DOWN to the 545 members of the house & senate!
This is "tech" news how?

There we go again, trying to cheat Darwin again! Let them kill out themselves, the world DNA would thank them in a few generations.

No, Bill is an lDIOT! End of discussion.
Well, do they not say on the stickers....Your Mileage May Vary? ;)
That means the wired internet will come down in price. Oh who am I kidding! They will RAISE prices to make up the difference!

Say ANYTHING about "man made" global warming, it goes against the socialist liberal types on /.

Di Fi is a LIBERAL! I thought liberals were FOR freedom? You mean she as a liberal LIED???

They can do as they please, but, don't look for this to LAST very long when it starts impacting their business bottom line.
