If he wants fame so much, lets send Trump on a one way trip to Mars, in fact lets send his whole damn family.
Tell him its a revival of the TV series "Lost in space" and he is playing "Smith"
Aim the damn thing at the sun and tell him its a short cut as Mars is on the other side.
EVERY Mac I have owned (except for the 512KE) I upgraded the RAM and the storage.
I can buy a 2TB SSD for about the cost to upgrade from 256GB to 512GB at Apple prices, I do NOT want to pay Apples extra 400% markup.
Apples biggest issue is that they can no longer be trusted to make choices that are consumer friendly.
I would have bought the bottom end 15" MBP and upgraded it like I did the last time, but I can't.
I wold have upgraded my iPhone SE, but they don't make a phone the size of the SE anymore
I would upgrade my Final Cut Pro software, but I don't think Apple is in it for the long haul, better to jump ship before it gets harder to do
Apple does not sell the HomePod in New Zealand, I am moving away from iTunes.
I get a free 1TB cloud storage from MS and from Adobe, there is no way I am paying Apple anything.
OSX server is so deprecated that I need to move to Linux now
Apple has become all glitz, and no function.
Steve is NOT coming back this time to Save Apple from its self.
My iPhone SE does all I need , and it fits comfortably in my pocket. These new monster arse things are of zero interest to me. I had upgraded every 2 years, but there was no upgrade path that interested me, so I will keep my SE until it dies and will probably have to go Android to get what I want.
But its NOT just the phones.
Apples financial issues are probably down to a loss of trust with the consumer.
Sure, I trust Apple more with my Data than Google, Facebook or Amazon, but I am talking about trust in their products.
Mac mini, languished for years
Mac Pro, languished for years, and still is languishing
Airport, DOA
Time Capsule DOA
OSX Server, so many bits deprecated my next “upgrade” will be an Intel NUC running Ubuntu
Wireless charger, MIA
Took how many years to make a wireless extended keyboard
Buy an overpriced USB-C power supply and Apple does not even supply the cable
Automator has languished for years
Apple script has languished for years
And for me personally
Siri for the ATV4 in New Zealand, the ONLY Siri compatible device in NZ that does not actually support Siri
HomePod, completely missing in action in NZ, made WORSE by the fact the NZ online store is the exactly same building as the Aus Online Store
All the iPhones are now too big, when my SE dies it will be Android as my only option
New Zealand did not get any iTunes bonus like the US, Australia, EU and others did, that’s Apple telling us to F**k Off, you are irrelevant , last time I saw iTunes cards discounted was about 4-5 years ago. We used to buy them as stocking fillers for the kids, we have not bought any for 4-5 years now.
Piss poor design decisions
Headphone sockets on the rear right side (of laptops that still have them)
Wireless mouse, you got to have it looking like a dead turtle to charge it, why not have it plugged into the front so you can use it and charge it.
Try turning text 90 in Numbers, so much for that font technology.
The USB-C cable supplied is power only, not USB-C data and not Thunderbolt 3, and USB-C cables are not thunderbolt 3 either, but they all look the same
Laptop keyboard, this generations Apple III
Laptops non upgradeable, RAM or SSD
Laptops with ZERO standard ports (USB-A, Ethernet, etc) forcing everyone to buy bloody dongles
Get off the bloody “Thin” bandwagon, how thin a computer/phone has been has NEVER been part of my buying decision, that’s pure marketing wank , reminiscent of the MHz wars
I know lots of people who have gone down the Hackintosh routine, if only so migrating to Windows can be done gradually
Me, I have free access for home to the Microsoft suite of software as well as the Adobe software.
Do I dump Final Cut 7 which has served me well for my home moves, and head to Adobe ?, because to be frank I have little faith that Apple is all in on its software for OSX anymore.
And to be brutal, its getting damned hard to justify Apples prices, combine that with the loss of trust that Apple is actually going to support any particular piece of hardware or software and you get a slump in sales.
Me, everything is working, so I will wait and see, but with what I have played with so far, Ubuntu is looking like a good option.
This year will tell if its a blip, or a slide.
But unless Apple realises that FUNCTION is actually more important than FORM, they they are screwed, and currently they have no one championing function.
India is part of Asia.
Asia is over 60% of the worlds population
Asia is where all the real economic growth is happening
This is a growing sign that Asia cares less and less about the USA.
Trump WILL do something stupid in retaliation which will only increase the growing rift between the USA and the world.
What a dumbass.
ALL you will do is allow the rest of the world see the USA acting like a bully.
Better yet, you will allow China to show Asia that the USA is not to be trusted.
Asia is where the consumer growth is dumb dumb, its 60% of the worlds population, and US policy is slowly but surely seeing the US locked out of Asia.
Your soy bean growers in the USA cared.
Asia has 60% of the worlds population, the US 4%
Asia, in particular China is the LARGEST growth market in the world, the USA is about to see itself locked out of that market.
Trade with China is now considered more important than trade with the USA
Chinas economy will become bigger than the US, so will the EU, India and Brazil long term.
"No one in the world is that dumb."..... I can see Trump saying "Hey guys, hold my beer".
Japans one saving grace is that Trump probably has no idea where Japan is.
Yeah, but selling other foods to Japan is also voluntary, so is supplying fuel to their ships, giving overseas port access, giving tourist visas to Japanese people , buying products made in Japan.
The USA started this shit.
And its highly likely they bullied Australia into making their anti-encryption laws to bypass the US legal system, because if Aussie gets it, the USA will get it by proxy.
And now you are getting upset because the rest of the world says, "Well if they can have a backdoor, so can we"
So, yes, the US got this ball rolling and so now EVERY COUNTRY will be demanding access thanks to the USA, and yes those countries have exactly the same right as the USA to demand access.
This is Google Speak for "We will say what is needed to avoid regulations, but carry on as we always have anyway"
Google is an advert business , collecting and selling user data is their core activity. Everything else is there to support that.
US elections are hardly free and fair either .
Voter reregistration
Gerrymandering
Failure to supply enough working voting booths in ethnic areas
Hell even your sex offender president did not get the most votes.

Trump knows all the BEST people, he's going to pardon most of them.
If he wants fame so much, lets send Trump on a one way trip to Mars, in fact lets send his whole damn family.

If you can find some ROM images, sheep shaver works well.
Of course the USA supports an internet that allows them to spy on other nations easily... DUH
And if you buy enough weapons from the USA, it will support that regime , money beats morals.
The HAVE to drive pickups because they are carrying a whole pile of stupid with them.
Sounds a LOT like the USA then.
Lots of people care.

China-Japan trade is also high, https://www.bbc.com/news/world...
The top export destinations of South Korea are China ($121B), the United States ($70.1B), https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en...

I have a white listed email account.
Unless you are on my white list, I NEVER see anything you send.
You can spoof what ever domain you like, I STILL do not see any spam.
Dumbass, a tax cut is NOT a pay rise. If you made 30K per annum before the tax cuts, you still made 30K afterwards, ZERO increase.
But if you want to play that game, the vast majority of the tax cut benefits went to the wealthy, you know, the ones who ALSO got a 17% wage increase.
Embrace, Enhance, Extinguish.
Its VERY American. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
And how many millions of people have american made weapons killed ?
