On top of it, Trump is "going around" the traditional media. He's not relying upon them to carry his water, to be "his kingmaker". He's not spending hundreds of millions of dollars with them. Trump is cutting of a source of revenue - and he's making them irrelevant. If he wins, the old approach of "hundreds of millions in ad buys is needed to win" and "you must suck up/play ball with all the traditional media stars" goes away. They lose their power AND revenue. THAT'S a threat.
And yet, for all of that, not a single person in the Wikileaks e-mails has denied the content of the e-mails. There's a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the release - but not a single denial of the accuracy and veracity of what's contained therein.
What if the journalists believe that the stuff shouldn't be leaked at all, because it hurts "their team"? Most mainstream journalists are completely ignoring the Wikileaks posts not because of "personal and private stuff" but because it's damaging for Hillary. Scrubbing would just allow further ignoring of the truth.
Name a modern schematic capture/PCB layout package that runs on OSX. OrCAD, PADS/PCB, or Altium (used by Apple) all run on Windows only. There are a few, tiny hobbyist programs, but nothing mainstream that paying customers would want.
Name a 3D parametric CAD package that runs on OSX. Solidworks, NX, Creo (used by Apple) all run on Windows only. There are a few, tiny hobbyist programs, but nothing mainstream that paying customers would want.
Oh, and OSX is about 6% of the total market. That's a strong 2nd place to the ~92% Windows market share! But at least it's ahead of Linux so you go that going for you...
About 3 Ivanpah power stations ($2.2 billion), which produces about 1/10th the amount of power of this new plant. So this new nuclear plant represents about a 3X increase in output-per-dollar spent on construction - and the power costs about 1/10th as much as well, meaning over a 40 year lifespan, the nuclear plant will produce it's power for $78 billion less than Ivanpah.
Target is the top corporate installer of solar power in the USA with 147MW installed on 300 stores. Walmart is close behind with 140MW, while Ikea has installed solar on 90% of its retail locations.
147MW, 140MW, 90%. One of these is not like the others...
No, I am saying they give a lot less of a shit about Macs as compared to everything else - and thus Macs are always going to be treated as the 2nd class citizen within the dev teams at Apple. Slower to release, less resources available for advances, etc.
And that revenue is around 11% of their total revenue, and less than their service revenue. It's low on the totem pole of where Apple's priorities lie. You don't need to look any further than where they put their efforts (iPhones, iTunes, App stores, services) to realize they turned away from it because it's lot as high of margin and compared to the other streams of revenue - it's small.
Apple is no longer a computer company. They are a mobile devices platform company. They keep Macs and OSX around simply as a way to finance the development platform for iOS. When you make more from service contracts than from selling a product - that product is essentially irrelevant from a revenue standpoint. It's only value is the toolset needed to make iOS apps. That's why Apple essentially ignores the entire Mac line - it doesn't matter, financially.
Check my numbers and what I posted - not what you made up. Spending was $3.3 trillion and there are 125 million workers. I wrote $26,400 per worker - that number is correct. Check the US Treasury link I included - national debt rose by $1.423 trillion for FY2016 (10/1/15 to 9/30/16). The numbers are there, if you want to actually look at them. The "Obama Economy" is a farce - it's a disaster.
Thank you. You wrote exactly what I was going to say. You have to install full dev tools, figure out how to run them, then recompile all the code and install. Radically different than for Android. Or Windows. Or Linux. Or any other OS. The shill continues to shill, blatantly!
Apple tore down the walls of its own garden a few YEARS ago, when they started allowing full-blown Sideloading of any ol' iOS App the User wanted.
They did? I can just go to an alternate app store and download an app to my phone and run it? I mean, I can do that on my Note 5, nothing else needed! So iOS now allows that, too?
It's not just the trade deficit, it's the spending we have to support as well. Even though the Federal Government took more than $10,000 per man, woman, and child (about $26,400 per worker - about $13.20 per hour worked in the US), it still spent $1,423,000,000,000 more than it took in (an additional $5.69 per hour worked). We have a LOT of Government to support - there are career politicians and crony capitalists to support after all!
Allegations, yes. Convictions? None. With Clinton we have the FBI basically saying about the Secretary of State and 30 year political animal that is Hillary that "she's so incompetent she didn't realize she was BREAKING THE LAW". We have her husband impeached and paying off people to stop sexual assault (not words, actual actions) lawsuits. We have their attorneys and business partners going to jail for deals made with the Clintons. We have constant revisions of tax forms for their foundation for "forgetting" millions and millions on foreign donations received whilst Hillary was Secretary of State.
But, as Jim Wright said about the Dan Rather/George Bush controversy, "It's not the nature of the evidence, it's the seriousness of the charge that matters". Ignore the facts, there's mud to be slung!
Apparently diversity only relates to skin color, gender, and sexual orientation. No need to worry about diversity of opinion, beliefs, or political or moral outlooks on life. Those can only stunt your operations. Just skin color (preferably NOT white), gender (prefer NOT male) and sexual orientation (prefer not heterosexual) are what can get you diversity.
Nope. We've got ample proof that Clinton is dirty. That she accuses others of the very thing her own team does, like cozying up with Putin. Not a lot in terms of Trump, other than some unsubstantiated claims of sexual misconduct (the very conduct that Bill and Hillary love to simply laugh off as a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy).

Ask your "friends" who are doing electrical development work what OS they use. HINT: it won't be OSX...

Where the $12 million from the King of Morocco went in the pay-for-play days as Secretary of State!

Revenue != profit. Macs are much less profitable than iOS devices. That's why warranty/repair services eclipse Macs in terms of profit.
And that revenue is around 11% of their total revenue, and less than their service revenue. It's low on the totem pole of where Apple's priorities lie. You don't need to look any further than where they put their efforts (iPhones, iTunes, App stores, services) to realize they turned away from it because it's lot as high of margin and compared to the other streams of revenue - it's small.

The reality is that Apple makes more money servicing its products than from selling Macs. Macs are an also-ran inside the company, probably kept around for nostalgic and developer purposes only.

I mean, if you think adding 1 hour more a day (8 becomes 9) is a 25% increase in hours, you need to go back and do a little recalculating...

How do you sleep at night knowing close to half the country is a basket of ***ist ***phobe advocates of hatred and violence?
And yet, it is the Democrat Party and its operatives that bird dog and foment violence at political rallies. Go figure!

She keeps pushing the narrative that Trump is all cozy with the Russians even though her campaign adviser John Podesta owned a big chunk of a Putin-backed company. So yeah - she's a liar, and that's dirty.
