Obscene. Some people seem to be utterly ignorante about what a pirate is. HInt: murders, kidnappings, violations, destruction and robbery. Apple, this time you are pathetic.
Sog it don't have anything to do with pirates as you say. It was the flag of the Macintosh development team.
Skull and Crossbones (Jolly Roger) is the universal sign of Pirates.
Guy you are awesome in your contumacy in the arguments. Look, there is an old Movie, in which Noah Wyle plays, very convincingly by the way, Steve Jobs, and the tile of the movie is "Pirates of Silicon Valley", the pirate flag have a symbolism in the early days of Apple because they see themselves as revolutionaries, as somebody who will brake the rules of the establishment, like it or not is in their history and it was the flag of the Macintosh development team. is part of Apple history. You can take the anecdotical issue and elevate to a problem. But is only that. An anecdotical issue based on the history of Apple.
sog35 said:I had to plan this out to. If you notice on the AppleTV topic I also was super/hyper negative about Apple a couple days ago. it was all to set up my April Fools joke on another topic.
Given your history, it’s hardly unbelievable to think that you believed what you said.
Now, if you’d white-texted a statement to the negative in that post, that’d be different. But I’m not sure we can white-text anymore.
Hundreds of innocent lives are lost each year at sea from Pirates around the world.
Don;t think many understand the spirit of this flag. It is a fight against established entities. A fight for the good of people So, no need to tie two opposite thinking to one..

do you wet your knickers every time the Pittsburgh Pirates play???!
It is about non-conformity and not actual Piracy, but you knew that. Take you faux PC rage elsewhere.
Would you be okay if the worlds most powerful company proudly waved a flag with criminal logos on it? Pirates are basically the terrorist of the sea.
In case you didn't read the article, the emblem was designed by Apple and literally has its colored logo on jt. Not a criminal logo. It's cartoonish. Besides, pirates don't use Jolly Rogers anymore.
And pirates don't blow themselves up for their god, they steal and plunder for greed. Neither of these is a condonable action.
Hi Everyone: since 1983 I have owned a mac. I remember the days of the pirate flag against "Big Blue". But now it's Big Apple. Does anyone else feel like Apple is losing it? The simplicity of Apple programing is gone. Each update loses core functionality and is replaced by other mundane functions. My new apple TV won't communicate with any of my iOS devices, my software for photos is obsolete by the time I sort through my 10,656 photos, so long Aperture! So while we celebrate the 40 years, perhaps Tim can step away from his privacy fight and re-direct apple's core so that it doesn't start to rot! Stricter guidelines for work flow, get back to do everything with in 3 clicks. Stop moving familiar commands around or removing them altogether. For heaven's sake please, please please fix i-tunes and get rid of the worst investment you ever made "Beats" ($billions for what???? ) I want my playlists easy to sort, I want apple radio that's free like Pandora or Spotify and is relevant rather than something I want to show as what software shouldn't be like. Follow up with Apple TV and make it do more! Steve wouldn't settle for what is going on! Apple needs a leader and I don't think that Tim is providing anything more than ... the next generation of products with out serious innovation. Why is it so difficult to see my iPhone screen? Why do they move command functions on i-tunes with each update? Why hasn't apple developed a hardware/cloud based system to keep all your files photos at your house and then backed up to the cloud as well? Sorry the cloud solution right now is entirely too expensive and Apple is relying on Amazon for back up servers. Why can't there be an easier way to back up all of your photos from every apple device with every apple format ( some of my pictures I took with the 3rd gen apple phone won't open in "photos"! While I do like apple I no longer share the dream as I believe it's some how been lost. Perhaps you all can inspire me as I lament in frustration. Thanks.

It only took 4 hours to lure a troll into the open field.
BAM!
April fools on you trolls. LOL.
I swear, I was just now scrolling to the end of the thread just so I could post how Sog had April Fool punked everybody. But you already left them off the hook.

Go back and time and complain to Jobs in 1983, sure he'd tell you exactly what he thinks of you. Warning, early Jobs might not "murder" you, but you'll wish you were dead anyway.

Ha!
Good to see that ol flag flyin' again ...
AIR, the ast time I saw that was in 1983 on Bandley ...

It's not the 40th Anniversary of the Mac. They should have raised the the pirate flag in early 2014.
And pirates don't blow themselves up for their god, they steal and plunder for greed. Neither of these is a condonable action.
"Hi Everyone: since 1983 I have owned a mac."
The name is Mac and it wasn't introduced until 1984 ...
