    A bit disappointing to see AppleInsider "endorsing" or "promoting" graffiti which is rewarded by being arrested by law enforcement.    I am fine with people who want to do graffiti - as long as they only do it on their own property.  the problem with graffiti of course is that it violates the rights of somebody else and it looks like something an imbecile would do. 
    I try not to be negative, but this is without a doubt the stupidest comment I’ve ever read on this site.

  • Hands on with the Netatmo HomeKit smart doorbell cam

    This is a horrible company, with defective products, and horrible customer service -- in my experience with them. I ordered all three of their original products -- the indoor/outdoor thermostat, the rain gauge, and the wind speed monitor.  The thermostat worked fine for a year, then the waterproof outdoor sensor leaked. The rain gauge never worked after hours spent on the phone with Netatmo, and the wind gauge never worked out of the box. Netatmo refused to replace any of them, or acknowledge they had any fault. The continually blamed the malfunctioning products on user error. 

    Maybe your milage varies, but I will never buy another Netatmo product. 
    That’s odd, because my experience with Netatmo has been quite the opposite. Their products have worked so flawlessly and been so rock-solid for me that I look forward to each new product they announce. I hope to get this one as soon as I can!

    Thank you for that superb post. This forum is increasingly inhabited and ruled by moronic, ill-informed yahoos who are not only utterly ignorant of things outside their 20-mile radius of existence, but wear that moronicity on their sleeves. 
    Thanks for the compliment! Sadly, that seems to be the case on all the Apple-centric blogs and forums. All the tech sites in general. It's rare to find any forum that's not overrun by knee-jerk reactionaries! There are very few sites and groups I'm members of where everyone seems well informed and posts well-thought-out responses. Mostly graphic design and film studies forums. Part of the problem, too, is when the articles themselves that commenters are commenting on are equally rushed.

    I wish media outlets would wait a little longer to discover the real reason, rather than rely on speculation like this. It has nothing to do with China's conservative culture and views on AIDS. There are plenty of AIDS-related charities in China as well, and Apple had Product Red iPods in mainland China years ago as well. The real reason is, on January 1, 2017, it became illegal for non-profit NGOs to engage in or fund for-profit activities. So, for-profit corporations, like Apple, can no longer release products co-branded by a non-profit.
