There's no way on the planet that microsd and replaceable batteries aren't worth the cost to the customer. When is Apple gonna wake up from the reality distortion field and make a product that makes technical sense.
For all we know they've just soldered a $1 (bulk wholesale) microsd card in the stupid phone to get the 16gb version and a $4 microsd card in to get the $64 gig version. Not a significant cost.
Seriously I see a 16 gig class 10 card on alibaba for $1 in bulk
The key difference is that unlike human women they are souless sex slaves who only exist to fulfil their owners every desire.
The difference being that according to the materialistic, scientific view of the world, humans are soulless slaves to instinct who only exist to pass on their genes. I can see how the difference.
Every bit as doomed as banning porn. I'd be angry at her for trying, but since she'll accomplish precisely nothing, I think her failure will be a thoroughly satisfying punishment for the attempt.
would feed from a large, refillable reservoir or at least have user refillable cartridges. A system DESIGNED to make refilling easy would itself be easy engineering. There are no engineering problems here, only a wish to make money off of ink.
That said, if ink was rationally priced then printers would be a little more expensive. Their cost is subsidized by the ink.
A few millimeters of plastic or metal make no difference whatsoever, but the lack of a back that comes off deprives users of an obvious and valuable feature.
My current phone is a tiny Samsung the size of an iPhone 4. It really is the same size, which makes it dreadfully unhip now, and the back does come off. It's WAY thinner than it needs to be. What utility is it to be so thin? None whatsoever. Yet they managed to make the battery replaceable.
So now you have an iPhone so think that you can bend it. You deserve that. What a useless feature.
XEROX, whose commercial computer system was a paperless WYSIWYG publishing environment supporting kerned fonts and even Asian languages like Japanese and whose programming environment used bitmapped kerned fonts and even italics.
Maybe you never really stressed your battery, having one of those external battery cases which is a bit like having external organs sticking out of your shirt.
I just replaced the battery in my Samsung phone after maybe 20 months. It now lasts about 5 times as long. Batteries can't take infinite discharge/charge cycles. Also, they seem to lose more capacity when you drain them down to nothing.
I'll tell you one thing, comparing Microsoft's C translation of their original Pascal version of messages to the simple, open, easy to understand and easy to debug Smalltalk version is very painful. And the layers of C++ over that don't help.
So Jobs role was to judge that Apple had enough of a monopoly on design to make more money by screwing the customer and throwing away the downscale/rational part of the market.
Make products that deliberately wear out, make products that can not keep pace and must be replaced. That was his contribution.
No one can prove that Apple wouldn't have been just as successful or more successful if it didn't try to screw its consumers that way.
But I must admit that by screwing the proles they gave themselves some cache and the proles seemed to beg to be screwed. Maybe there's some weird classism where people WANT to waste money on an inferior product to prove that they can afford act like a rich person.

"I am seeing "certified by Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd when I point cursor to googlemail. Is it normal or fishy?"
now?
Sorry I fell for him then.
So the system is designed broken so that any cert can issue fraudulent certificates? Sounds right. Jesus.
If they start over and make a secure system, I predict it will be made illegal.
Sure. They violated security protocol "by accident" and compromised everyone's security "by accident".
Ha ha ha ha!
We're all screwed.

Really, these letters are a serious threat to freedom. We need a first amendment challenge.

Or nice try, Rand Paul.
It's true, the latest hardware has too many secret layers.
There's now a case for putting in filters and buffer layers using old technology. 6502s or something. Hardware too simple to be hacked.

Yeah, I already knew that the Democrats and Republicans had switched on racism. I didn't know that the Republicans used to be better on labor.
Utter bullshit. Utter bullshit. Utter bullshit.

I see, and how much do you have to pay for non-backdoored hardware? A million dollars? Ten million? A hundred million?
He couldn't find a 1 bit error dispersion dither pic of it, let alone an Apple II version.

"It's really odd you would pick as examples ONE aspect of Apple design which has served them quite well over the years"
Being 3 millimeters thinner served them HOW? Snake oil. They caused people a LOT of inconvenience and no one got anything in return.

Didn't Woz do that himself?
I started the youtube. It starts with Jobs in the 80's saying that 5 year olds understand computers as well as he does.
I thought they had an agreement.
