Notsofast said: Fair points, but underlying the entire editorial is the dubious proposition that Apple wants to be like Netflix, etc. It seems increasingly clear that Apple has no desire to have a large back catalogue of stuff that most peop…

Thinness is cool and all, but I type thousands of words a day, and I don't move my laptop around all that much. Short key travel and lack of wrist elevation both reduce comfort and the latter is a well-studied cause of repetitive stress problems. Co…

SpamSandwich said: Overton, huh? Gee, that’s not at all disturbing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window I had exactly the same thought. Maybe something more innocuous? Like SkyNet, perhaps.

All the "tu quoque" attacks on Google on this thread seem beside the point to me. iOS was vulnerable to some pretty serious exploits. I'm glad they were found. I'm glad they were patched. Thanks to Google for finding them and thanks to Apple fo…

For the record, I predict that if Apple ever does make a folding phone, the balance of commentary here will shift from "why would anybody ever want that?" to "Apple figured out how to do it right and I need one."

I agree I wouldn't buy the Air just for the weight difference. The fractional differences in weight just really aren't all that exciting anymore. It was great when laptops went from 7-10 pounds to 3-5 pounds, but they're already more than light enou…

If guarantees are in the contract, they're in the contract. If they're not, nothing will happen. I'm confident Apple would not try to avoid a clear contractual provision, if there is one. It is a little weird that the story has leaked. Perhaps anoth…

SpamSandwich said: Re: “Bad” Robocalls... they don’t think their political ads are “bad,” so naturally they will exclude their own interests and continue to harass voters in that way. I get about 500 calls from "the Social Security Adminis…

1. Is the keyboard a problem? Lots of people think so, and Apple has apologized and offered remedies for three generations now. 2. Does the media pay disproportionate attention to Apple's problems? They probably pay more attention to Apple's probl…

This happens to me on Netflix all the time, and often won't correct itself unless I refresh my browser.
