    Makes you appreciate legends such as Babe Ruth who did not have this technology during his time yet still managed to rise the ranks to greatness.

    I agree.  I thought the 8 looked so amazing in red that I bought it over the X.  I also saved my self some €€€€ to boot.
    Wife has red, looks good. Maybe this cycle I'll upgrade from my silver 6. I don't really care which new color, just show some life, Apple.

    Should we address you as Heckflosse or Fintail? I loved my 1961 220S, alas gone 'lo these many years. Long live the Ribbon Speedo!

  • How Apple's iPhone, iOS 12, and RapidSOS could save your life in an emergency

    This all sounds highly inelegant and quite clumsy & clunky....   A patchwork solution on top of patchwork.

    Quite obviously technology is not the problem.  I can tell you which house my Grandson is in with either Find My Friends or Find my iPhone.   And, while out driving, running or cycling it can tell me where I am within a few meters...

    Actually, this reeks of organizations taking advantage of inadequacies in public systems with a "how can I make money off of this?" instead of the more Apple like:   "How can I make this better?".  (Unfortunately, Apple is not in charge here!).

    It sounds like this is an area where the federal government needs to step in and get things organized.
    (uh oh, I can hear the cries of anguish from the Libertarians claiming "government is incapable" already!)
    I agree. And I think this is exactly the kind of governmental function that should be standardized and nationalized. 

    And welcome back, Mel!

    Stands to reason.  Hard to believe Jobs would approve of this joke of a product
    Yeah, who would want to have a Fortune 300 company based on a piece of junk like that?

    Everyone, including Jobs for sure. He was fond of "hobbies"

    Wait years for iPhone (or iTunes etc) to exist and to sell... building (fake) equity so that you are awarded over half a billion dollars in “damages.” Wow. We see that technique used in many of these IP suits. 
    Unfortunately, until someone sells something, it's going to be difficult to get damages because there aren't any.
