Yes, I've been binge catching up on Star Trek Discovery. Wow, that's a dark show.

The series tells the tale of America's space program in an alternate reality that sees the Soviet Union win the space race.

Pretty silly that Apple is included here. Especially since this about the practices of handling user data. It's understandable that they want to know how Apple handles the data, but Apple's been pretty vocal about security and privacy, and have taken many measures to combat misuse of it.

Why are having empathy and understanding others such foreign concepts to you?

Because “think of the children” isn’t a valid argument and if you want to commit genocide on yourself, go fucking fight in the wars for them, then.

is just so ignorant I can't believe it.

No, you’re so ignorant I can’t believe it. The words are proven fact by every government institution.

You mean refugees. They're refugees, dude. As in, people whose homes and countries have been decimated, and who are so at danger of being killed or mistreated, and are so oppressed and sick of the horror in the streets outside their homes that they flee their country in search of survival and better lives.

We don’t fucking care. They have no right to enter the country. They have no right to be shipped thousands of miles AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE when they could stay where they are.

Remind me, who settled the USA?

Not people whose ideology explicitly says to kill everyone that doesn’t believe what they believe. And not people who were being forcibly imported into an already existing society.

Or would you get the hell out of there and find somewhere safe?

I’d stop being a fucking coward and fight the people doing it to my country. Which is what I’m doing now; THEY’RE NOT COMING IN.

Here in the EU refugees are being welcomed

And then the welcomers are being gang raped and their entire countries destroyed.

I don't see these countries here going up in flames.

Look the fuck harder, then, you disingenuous coward.

Anyone that says it's a security threat is right, sure, it is.

Thanks for admitting you’re wrong.

Or carrying a gun in your glove-compartment.

That’s literally the opposite of a security threat.

The only way this world goes anywhere is with understanding, empathy, and acceptance.

I care more about the standards of my country not declining, my people remaining safe, alive, and unmolested, the children of my nation not having to fear cruelty and murder, the daughters of my nation not living in terror of forced prostitution, rape, and murder, and the freedoms of my people than I do any number of foreigners, be they sick, dying, traumatized, disabled, innocent, or any number of other things. I would turn them away, with deadly force if necessary. If it was necessary for my nation–my people–to survive, I would gun them down where they stand. Every single last one of them.

That may sound harsh, but it’s the reality in which we live. What has altruism done for my people? Crime, rape epidemics, terrorism, a police surveillance state, and a constant stream of propaganda preaching self-hatred and destruction. What benefits has white humanitarianism brought? Declining standards, eroding civilization, corroding civil liberties and securities, and derision, hatred, and scorn. What kind of gratitude has been shown to us for all the good we have wrought? The gratitude of bullets, torture, theft, mayhem, fire, rape, and after all of that criticism and calls for our genocide and total extinction. We help people and yet we are beaten, mocked, demonized, vilified, crucified, and murdered.

ENOUGH.

Fuck these people. No, I do not care that they are suffering. I revel in it. Close the borders, deport the squatters and criminals, execute the disobedient, and sink a few “migrant” boats for good measure to send the message that such behavior will neither be tolerated nor rewarded. No more tolerance. No more aid. No more altruism. Our goodness has been met with sheer evil, our graciousness with contempt, and our existence with genocide. No more.

When they are ready to behave like civilized people, ready to respond to our generosity in kind, then maybe we can consider humanitarianism and mutual aid, with them remaining in their countries of origin. As it is? They’re lucky that we haven’t yet sought revenge. Reducing them and their families to smoldering ash would be an appropriate response, and yet we only call for them to go back where they came from.

That’s it. That’s all we require of them. To go away.

It’s the last remaining kindness they might possibly deserve.

What 'New World'? That's such a moronic term. There was absolutely nothing new about it.

lol

 Stop starting wars. Why didn't Europeans stay in their home land? 

lol

Apartheid in South Africa

Literally the best QoL on the entire continent. South Africa was swarmed with millions of illegal immigrant blacks, coming down from the north (since, you know, they didn’t live on the Cape when the Europeans settled there) to get the benefits that living in South Africa provided them.

how did whites become the governing minority on southern tip of a mostly black continent?

BECAUSE NO BLACKS LIVED THERE BEFORE THE WHITES SETTLED IT.

And what did the whites do to the blacks there?

Give them their own self-governing internal nations at the white taxpayers’ expense.

How did whites become the governing race on Australia?

By creating government in the first place.

By asking nicely? I think not

I’m still not sure if you’re joking about the original point, so I’d love a hard and fast confirmation either way.

%2 of Samsung users said the fires had a very positive impact for the brand? Am I reading this wrong?


Also I read an article that said iPhone 7 pre-orders sold out in 15 minutes in Korea!

I found out some Samsung fans are just crazy loyal.

There are guys on Reddit that say they are willing to take the risk of the Note7 killing them and their family since its such a great phone.

And they call Apple fan's Sheep? LOL. I never heard of an Apple fan willing to die for the company.

like Cook said at launch two years ago, Edition was a limited edition. nothing real controversial about that, tho im sure there will be those will try to spin it as further proof of doom or something.

Everything's a limited edition. Not making it this time around means it didn't sell enough. The whole AW as jewelry experiment didn't pan out exactly as they had hoped. 

Happen to have any numbers to back up that statement?

Who needs numbers when there's cause and effect? We don't know Apple's internal numbers, but we know their reaction to those numbers. 

So in other words...no you don't have numbers to back up your FUD! Next!

Enjoyed the whole article... but I especially thought the commentary on the headphone jack was spot on.

That part should be taken out and printed as its own article.  It feels like the world has gone crazy over this whole headphone jack business... when it's really just the same incremental improvement that's always been happening in computing...
