  1. Cook's newest invention on Future iPhones Could Fold In Half (geek.com) · · Score: 0

    The iFlipPhone. With a display on one part, and an innovative 12 button keyboard on the other that allows you to use a combination of strokes per key (1, 2, or 3 presses in succession) to enter text one character at a time!

  2. Re:Apple is primarily a jewlery company on Design For the Present (marco.org) · · Score: 3, Funny

    What do you mean? That have a wonderful market in dongles!

    From the GP:

    "queer eye for the queer guy"

    And you wonder why they have lots of "dongles" dangling off their products? Hmmm?

  3. Re:Yawn on Nearly 9 Out of 10 Smartphones Shipped Run On Android (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Then why bring it up? It's irrelevant in terms of marketshare. Unless you think it matters, in which case - why does it matter?

  4. Re:Yawn on Nearly 9 Out of 10 Smartphones Shipped Run On Android (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    And that is good for the consumer because???

  5. Re:Weird that iOS has so many exclusive apps on Nearly 9 Out of 10 Smartphones Shipped Run On Android (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Because when 90% percent of "the market" never purchases anything, it's not a market.

    10% of 90% of the market is about as big as 10% of the market...

  6. Re:Likely MS Idea Meeting Minutes on Microsoft Teams Launches To Take on Slack in the Workplace (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Nah, if you REALLY want to fuck up interoffice communications, you go big and go Lotus Notes. Slack is for cheap wannabes...

  7. Switzerland. Right leaning. Of course, it's also a constitutionally restricted Federal Government, which is what the US was supposed to have...

  8. Well, carlosdanger.xxx is still available at least!

  9. You sure? I thought it was caused by the Russians...

  10. Re:Unlikely to be of any use on Computer Scientists Believe a Trump Server Was Communicating With a Russian Bank (slate.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I guess having nothing other than cleverly edited videos is why two high-placed DNC operatives are now out of a job...

  11. Re:Yield problems? on Foxconn Testing Wireless Charging For iPhone 8 (trustedreviews.com) · · Score: 1

    Go easy on the old timer/low UID. Tech was different back then, what with trying to do wireless power transmission with glass tubes and what-not.

  12. Hack by the Russians? on Computer Scientists Believe a Trump Server Was Communicating With a Russian Bank (slate.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Turns out it was Huma using Yahoo, and Podesta getting phished... No Russians involved, just plain old incompetence.

  13. Re: a lot of Google personnel uses Macs on Google's 'Project Zero' Hid A Major Vulnerability in Apple's OS and iOS Cores (thestack.com) · · Score: 0

    Sued for what?

    Heresy against the Church of Apple. Burning at the stake, or drawing and quartering, are the only reasonable remedies in this case.

  14. Re:Apple Abandons Yet Another Market Segment. on Apple Says It's Out of the Standalone Display Business (macrumors.com) · · Score: 2

    Apple makes more revenue and profit on its services (which are driven by iOS devices) than it does on the Mac line. Macs are around 10% of the total revenue stream for Apple, and it's a shrinking stream at that.

  15. Re:Apple: it just works on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, the Apple Accessory Interface Spec (R26) explicitly DISALLOWS the creation of a USB-C to Lightning cable by any 3rd party. So - it's hope Apple offers the right dongle or your chances of getting a real Apple-approved (meaning - a real MFi chip, not a cloned/gray market one) is slim.

  16. Re:plug it into the wall, like always? on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    So carry around another charger. Got it.

  17. And charging that phone?

  18. So let me get this straight. You're saying that Tim Cook wants us to play with his dongles?

  19. Re:Apple: it just works on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I travel a lot (weekly) and love to use my laptop as my charging hub for all my gear. And if needed - I'll top up my phone at the desk during the day, with my laptop. I guess it's better to carry another charger though!

  20. Apple: it just works on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Especially when you chain 37 adapters and hubs together to gain back the functionality you had just 3 years ago...

  21. Re:Howz that work when Samsung phone's explode? on Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'We're Going To Kill Cash' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, sometimes Android only enjoys a 3.5:1 ratio of sales; most of the time it's about 6:1 though...

  22. Re:Howz that work when Samsung phone's explode? on Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'We're Going To Kill Cash' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    About 90% of all shipments are Android, iOS is down around 10%. Seems to be working fine so far.

    Better hope you type in the amount correctly because you can't use the Escape key to clear the field!

  24. Seriously, no cash? on Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'We're Going To Kill Cash' (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    How do I pay for my hookers and blow in a manner that can't be traced?

  25. It's actually paving the way towards the iWheel interface. Keys are so 19th century...
