If Jobs led Google: In order to search for anything, we would need little hand-held keyboardless Google devices that ran only on one proprietary Google OS, which would randomly blow up and fail to work while held in your left hand, and any search result that violated Google's decency standards (which would forbid nudity or the mention of homosexuality) would be blocked.
Power consumption and heat are negligible, and it's probably way more resistant to being dropped than one of those stupid non-magical hard drives. And all for a just a tiny reduction in capacity! I want 10!
You can't really understand science in depth unless you are a scientist; that goes for all its fields (as well as technology),
The problem isn't trusting in experts; it's fetishizing them and either relishing one' ignorance or denying it. It turns out that the world is not divided into infallible geniuses and complete retards, and one isn't born to become either a scientist who understands everything or an idiot who has to have faith in what the smart people say. With a little time and effort, most people can learn enough about a field to determine if something is bullshit or pseudo-science (so there is really no excuse for continuing to believe in it), and on the other hand even many years of study won't give a scientist knowledge of absolutely everything in their field.
Because even scientist have to have some faith in other scientists. No single person can independently judge the correctness of every discovery or invention; that's what peer review is for.
"Physicists at Fermi Lab have found a 'suspicious bump' in that there data that could indicate they've found a new elementary particle or even a new force of nature."
Coherent light is focused to a particularly small area on the retina, which increases its local intensity by orders of magnitude. This thing is just bright. Both lasers and extremely bright light can permanently damage your eye, but lasers do it with far less power and far more quickly.
They complain when that power is used for something, but not used for something they find offensive. It is hypocrisy.
You can either remove censorship entirely, and sell homophobic and racist stuff as well as the effing Kama-Sutra (and yes, they actually censored a book app that didn't even contain it, but this was their claimed rationale), or you can censor both. (Actually, you could argue for only censoring the former on the grounds that hate speech is a more offensive and harmful influence than sexually explicit speech; but the other way around is pretty much guaranteed to produce some justified backlash.)
The Gay Mafia has silenced him and deprived him of his #freedom.
The gall of these assholes makes me sick. Not content with being evil, he smugly portrays his evil as morally superior and himself as a persecuted victim.
They might legally be in the clear, since no account information is exchanged. Someone with an account and someone without an account can equally ask for and get generic troubleshooting advice, so their response doesn't confirm the individual actually has an account.
Though the "Send your (phone) number via Direct Message" (which came up in one recent public tweet) sounds concerning. Third-party communication systems shouldn't be assumed private (which is also why I wouldn't communicate with my bank via email unless they miraculously figure out how to use PGP.)
If they hadn't assigned themselves the rule of censor, nobody would complain about this. The app would still be offensive, but Apple would be assigned no blame for allowing its distribution. It would be held up as an example of universal freedom of speech.
Having decided to act as the official nanny of every Apple customer, though, they are fully responsible for the shit they let through, too. Don't let them off the hook for this.

Oh, you mean when I started college? ... maybe, but barely.
See? That wouldn't have happened with an iPhone. :P

Chevron nine... locked.
That address isn't even assigned... :P

And here we keep telling clueless users that "it's not that kind of virus."
Arr, that there data be bumpy.
... which keeps doing its OS business all over the carpet.

Well, their user base is shrinking.
THAT's the real surprise.
An analogy without a car?!
It's like a car without wheels!
I was passing BUILDING NAME/INTERSECTION just when I got the text and really panicked.
Multiple monitors make it easier to appear productive with less effort.
Frivolous damage claims should be punishable by a payment of 10% of the claims to the defendant. That'd put a stop to this shit at once.
Windows has also gained much more stability and security over the past years than Linux has.
The past three versions of IE have been steep improvements because it had years of catching up to do.

If yes, then why the hell is it a crime?

I thought that was satire.
Dunno, 1-4 AM works well for me. :P
