What I would like to see is a round up of everybody who commented that Apple was out of its mind to pay $3 billion for the acquisition  of Beats  a few years ago. Likely a future article for DED if he did not already write one. 

Wasn't there some asshole called "Constable Odo" that literally racked up thousands upon thousands of posts solely attacking Apple for this, and mentioning it every single thread? Yes, there was. 

Oh, I remember him.

You know, there was a time many years ago when users actually contributed to healthy debate and the mods cared more about discussion than clickbait and faux-journalism.

Constable Odo, Solipsism, Mazda3s, etc... I miss those years.  I barely contribute anymore as it just got too infested with trolls and iHaters that’s it just not worth the time and effort anymore.

If there was a worst, it will always be Tekstud.  The original troll.

OMG, Tekstud! .. how many years ago was that!  That was back when I went by Digitalclips.

On a casual three day visit to NYC probably 60% of earphone users were using Airpods. and I’d expect the ANC ability of the new ones to up that %.

I'd use a lower net margin than 35% to be on the safe side. 25%. Still a big standalone biz.

Where did he go, anyway?

Back to DS9?
