Yeah, they are barely selling any, and those they sell they are loosing their butt on, so they should lower their prices - oh wait, that is Samsung.
Apple is totally honest about the pricing and the alternatives they offer. That they make a lot of money on their phones is a good thing since it allows them to keep updating product lines.
The really good thing is we don't have to listen to you expo,ain why you bought a cheap Apple and it sucks, or like my son that bought a cheap Android phone and after 6 months is having no end of problems from the "mods" he put in.
I will stay in the garden and enjoy the flowers, you can have fun out in the jungle.
Why would we mod you down? Of course Apple waits a few years and lets other companies invent the wheel. Then they take it and make money with it by making it easy to use and BORING. So far it seem stop work for them, I realize that you are only interested in really cool products that you can tweet and that the company making it has no interest in profits. Personally, I will take the Apple product which will work, be supported and be improved over time... They may be late to the game, but if winning means making money, well, they seem to have figured that part out.
Seriously, you can't see why anyone would, then Apple must be wrong, I mean they were wrong about their smartphone, it barely sold any at all before they quit making it.
We have a Apple TV and are extremely happy with it, like most Apple products is it not very customizable, so instead of customizing it, we watch TV on it. My wife and I are retired, and we enjoy things that just work and don't require fiddling with. We have also tried Plex, and FireTV and find the Apple to be more to our liking. It may also have to do with being able to watch our 300+ movie library stored on my MacOSX and served up via iTune family sharing.
The new TV (assuming there even is one) providing App support could be cool, and iPhones and iPads are already used for more gaming by casual gamers (only a couple hundred million - barely any market at all). So, if the TV could play those same iPad games from the App store, we will certain play a few - also, since games bought on the App Store are mostly family sharing enabled, I expect we will be able to play all those games we already have on the new TV - yup, I expect you are right though, Apple has blown it again.
Very true, and achieving stability and modularity can be a real challenge. It can be done, but it is not as simple as most people first think. So they put something together and then have no end of problems with derails etc... eventually giving up. Better to design and research up front.
One of the areas many people don't concern themselves with, and regret later, is track/layout stability. The smaller the gauge the more critical this is, in N cause a small expansion or contraction of a area of track will result in many derailments.
If the price is the issue, then why not make it a requirement to get a taxis license that if someone blows drunk, they ride free and the state reimburses the taxi.
That's easy, because it is worth $700 to most people to be able to brag about having 20% more pixels than they can see, and the latest onto core processor, which will let them type emails on that tiny keyboard at least 8 times faster than the old school quad cores.
I mean really, just being seen with a one generation old phone is a stigma waiting to happen.
Especially if the system doesn't let the programs running know where there variables have been moved to, or where they have been moved to, or, well, where anything is. I expect the system only needs to have it's memory randomized once per boot.
I am very pleased with Windows 10. I am mainly a OS X user, since the first Mac 128. However, I have had to use Windows on occasion professionally and I play several games that require it. I do not claim that I am a good example for others, I run fairly new equipment, with lots of ram (for me, 16GB) and lots of disks (10TB total). I run multi boot, OS X 10.11, OS X 10.10, Debian, SuSE and Ubuntu, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 (couldn't stand 8) and Windows 10. I always apply all upgrades/updates I can find - I love being a beta site.
All in all, on my system with daily use, I have found Windows 10 to be stable, and easier for ME to use than Windows 8(.1). Windows 7 was the first Windows I ever endorsed, I found it to be stable and "easy" to use. I expect Windows 10 to be the second Windows I endorse after using it for another 6 months or so.
Your statement is true, there is no where near enough capacity to manufacture what is required. But, you post makes it seem like you leave it at that. Meaning, no point trying to replace the existing infrastructure, because it is a big expensive long term project...
I prefer to say that if it is profitable, corporations will make it happen. (Notice I left out caveats like safe, works as advertised, etc) And the more profitable it appears, the faster they will make it happen.
Thank you for there link, I followed it and found none of the "edited" photos you claim are there. I found ONE photo that showed the iPhone from an angle that showed the camera bulge and the bulge was there...
So, flaming slashdot - what a concept - lol... I am sure all the hate posted here is legitimate and justified. I see you are proud enough of your comment to stand behind it and not post anonymously - oh wait... I will stand behind my years posting here and my reputation and not hide behind "Anonymous Coward"...
Everyone is standing inline to get one and Slashdot is posting anything and everything it can to put it down...
As usual, can't wait to hate.
Geek care about performance, configurability, expandability, etc. Geeks make up almost 0% of the Apple market. It's as if garbage truck drivers were complaining about the latest Porsche Carrera because there was very limit load carrying capacity...
I don't see where this has anything to do with Apple other than an opportunity to pour on a little hate. Amazon's offering did not inspire people to stand in line to buy it. That has nothing to do with what Apple may or may not do.
There is a difference between "do not support Linux" and Linus will not work.
I assume the mfg's legal department strongly suggested that they not officially support Linux, since that would lead to having to specify precisely what not supporting Linux means, which distributions, etc.
Linux is still a small enough market that it is not work it to mug's to put together a customer support team to support all the configurations people will try to come up with using Linux.
You mean like my bank account statement, balance, my sign in, you know, things almost every American today access everyday from their banks? I don't know about you, but, I access those things (data) via the internet facing servers provided for me by my bank.
If there furtherest objects are 46B LY away, and the universe is 14B years old, and it all started at a point, then something moved faster than the speed of light.

You called the article "dumb" because of your lack of knowledge? Interesting concept...

And every secure facility I ever worked in had video surveillance built in, so I don't see how glass is more creepy than that.

Maybe we could replace the US Congress with a bunch of rats wired together, they certainly couldn't do worse than what we have.

We will see where things like this go.
Some people enjoy their work, and I expect he gets as much time off as he wants, regardless of the "3 weeks" guaranteed.

I realize that this is slashdot and all that shit, and it is a requirement for members here to hate Apple.
I see posts here talking about holding their iPhone 6 and it shows the bulge... interesting, where di you get YOUR iPhone 6???
I see a lot of posting that it is obvious that Apple edited the photos - but the only link is not to an Apple site, but a hater site.
I went to Apples site and looked around - there were no side views to be seen - hmm.
So, it's typical Slashdot bullshit - pile on the hate, with nothing to support the theory.

Oh, about 500 million users.
Their security is deplorable and Apple should be legally responsible for any losses people incur as a result of this!

The negativity is because this is Slashdot. The second reason is that it is about Apple.
"Nothing new" - yeah, and cell phones existed years before iPhone - how did that work out.
Haters will hate.

My, aren't you the literate one. Such an expansive vocabulary to express yourself, my poor mind can barely comprehend what you meant to say.
