At the tail-end of a dead thread, I have to ask: if there ever was a time warp and the 2 Steves were kids today, would they even be allowed to tinker with electronics without being jailed or possibly even worse? Only as a reminder, Steve Jobs' fath…

[I]The system assigns reputation indicators, more commonly known as reputation scores, based on the degree and number of relationships between "reputation targets," or other users. This process is further refined to include experience in sub-environ…

Has any of the fans of USB-C truly thought about WHY Apple would stick with Lightning on the AppleTV and iPad? My guess is that they know for a FACT that people would be trying to stick USB->USB-C adapers and every piece of tech crap that USB co…
