A headphone jack is clearly too hard for Apple to design into their phone. they have poor case design through their whole range of products. any time a key component of the case design of an electronic device is 'glue' it's a slack design.
When we get real, vigorous Net Neutrality, Google and Facebook and all their properties will be nationalized and become the Commons that they should be.
Or at least, maybe that's where Net Neutrality will lead.
The medium shouldn't be private. When an entity expands to a certain size and becomes the dominant player on a medium mostly because they 'were there first' it's time for it to become a commons that nobody owns.
Journalists from all sides in most conflicts have access. Usually under the escort of one side or the other. During World War II there were journalists reporting most everything as it happened, to the degree that the public needed to know. Credible professional journalists who work within the system to report the facts.
And then there are people who fancy themselves as being journalists who engage as renegades and pretend they don't need to take sides.
It's impossible not to take sides, and you're defrauding yourself, and whomever else you're reporting your 'journalism' to if you pretend you haven't taken sides.
Clearly they should reduce him to a grease spot on the pavement somewhere so that people brandishing their iGadgets can urinate on said grease spot and hiss.
What has happened to Slashdot? Stealing code isn't 'cool' but a leak like this is interesting and nerds should be scrambling to get a peek at it.
Also, S. Jobs' edict about 'stealing' should apply. Except Jobs is dead and Apple has become so 'big' that the original company is a fossil, and the people who control it now have made it a big fucking hard thing, very very VERY hard. Success does that, once the Accountants scramble aboard.
For 15-20% above the typical cost of standard building code, you can build a Passivhaus for which the heating & cooling bills could be reduced by 75-90%, even if you live in a place with cold winters or hot summers
Sadly, you probably can't build it where you want to build it, because building codes and government guidelines will prevent it. Plus, you will never be able to secure the loans to build said house.
You can go off into an undeveloped area and build it, but most people don't want to live in those areas.
What does that have to do with anything? When the government subsidizes oil, it keeps the price low so people can afford to drive their cars and heat their homes. When the government subsidizes Tesla, rich people get a fast trendy sports car.
When they enter into the arena of conflict and choose to 'show the truth' in a way that one side in the conflict opposes, they are entering into the conflict as a participant on one side and are no longer being a journalist. They can suck air in prison if they're caught.
If you carry around images that you took during an 'incident' that you intend to later redact participants out of, you're an asshole who wants to earn 'acclaim' for your heroic photographic work. You're putting said participants at great risk during the phase where you are sneaking the unredacted images away from the danger zone.
Essentially, you're using them for your careerist adventures. You're being an opportunist creep.
Further, camera companies don't have much value in painting a target on their back that says 'Customs agents and police: hassle people MORE if they are carrying our brand of camera.'
These 'journalists' need to just accept the reality that their activities are not risk-free.
since Apple's phones are generally supported for 4+ years
I won't go so far as to call that a myth, just a misconception. Because that 4+ years is the time from the release of a new phone. Which they then sell and re-sell for several years. So you can buy a 'new' iPhone and have support dry up far earlier than 4+ years.

Either do I. It's just where things are headed.

Twitch is where dorks go to watch other play video games.
Yeah. People actually do that, for some reason.
So, you're accusing the 'average alt-righter' of generalizing about the people they disagree with and promulgating stereotypes about them.
Huh.
Killing off both the Clinton and the Bush dynasty was a real and positive accomplishment, too.

Thank goodness you've diagnosed the problem. All those years in fucking medical school have paid off.

Yes, like installing apps from Apple's iOS app store that have malware hidden in them.
It gets around and it goes around.
WTF, has Slashdot be overtaken by a big herd of fucking Eagle Scouts now?
Apple has rolled out a brigade of defenders, that is for certain.
You're right. This is apple.slashdot.org and the sponsors of this sub-slashdot are really fucking mad.
How dare somebody disobey the Apple.
We all take our 'careers' so seriously. The HR representatives are positively gleaming about our enthusiasm.
You, too, can have a secure future! Just sign right here!
So Amazon is the go-to for online purchases of general merchandise. Which they are still not making much if any money at.

I doubt if GP commenter is an experienced (publicity) stunt driver.
They are the only public facing company making any significant efforts toward a better future.
Wow, what a cynical (and unsupported) opinion.
I don't want instant access to 'every song' because almost every song isn't worth my time to listen to.
I don't live in Greenwich, so that's irrelevant.
Deep down, there's a turd with your name on it. Don't worry, I already flushed.
