    Ridiculous I think we need to make this world more about people than wealth. You can to war then come home and get shit on. This guy wouldn’t even give a dollar to a veteran. So sad and I have one also..... Making all that money for hand held computer with a phone interface. We need to feed people and stop boasting about other people’s wealth ...... just not right 
    He gave $5M to charity this week.

    100 million paid subscribers but still $158.3 million in losses? There’s no path to profitability here.
    Amazon only recently began reporting profits. Before that it was perfectly okay for them to lose money hand over fist. In the tech blog wars it’s always about market share or share of profits isn’t it. 
    Except... Apple, Amazon, YouTube. None need to make money out of their music service. It’s all part of their mix. 

    Spotify has to make money out of one service.

    As the recent thread on 2FA pointed out in spades, Apple really needs to up its game on how it implements 2FA. It’s annoying, and clunky. Period.

    (If you have any questions, I invite you look at that thread from just a couple of days ago). 
    It works fine for me. I get a 2FA request about once a month and it takes seconds to respond. All happens within the platform. 

    Compare this to Google who require a text message based code.

    Does it apply to the 2008-2012 sold 802.11n Airport Express  (Gen 1)?
    Apparently not. As of now (several hours after the release), it has yet to appear on my AirPort Utility.

    (EDIT) I just realized it was already answered. But I'd like to point out that this device have been distributing WiFi in my 2,000 sq ft apartment for the past 8 years! I barely remember it's there! I truly dread the day it craps out and I'll have to make do with some other brand...

    Just this last time: "Not cool Apple!"
    Not cool that a device from 8 years ago doesn’t get an update?

    Oh my, so many betas. What's wrong with this software? Time to turn off automatic updates!  ;)
    Yes definitely best to go straight from from Beta 1 to Gold RC without getting any user feedback
