    Lol, there were quite a few commenters poo-pooing the chance of this ever happening when discussed previously.  Good work, Apple!
    Yep, I decided to round them up and give them a shout out.  This way we know to give their predictions (especially in such absolutest terms) the respect they deserve.  And the Hall of Fame-rs are:

    @Hagar --Just let it go already. This is never going to happen. 
    @Metriacanthosaurus --Flat out: Not happening.

    Honorable mentions:

    @Fallenjt --AirPort Express hardware is too old. It doesn't even support 802.11 AC. 
    @Pbrutto --Not only has their been no indication of a router update but their have been multiple stories saying Apple is completely out of the router business now going back months. So, why do you think they may be updated?
    @Bradford_kirby --The airport express is over.

    There were a few more that could have been put in the honorable mention category, but their comments seemed more like reasonable opinions than snarky critiques of Apple and the fans that held out hope that Apple could squeeze a little more life out of a great product that is riding into the sunset.

    You track and document the passing commentary of other posters here regarding minutia like this? Seems a bit much.

  • You are the product if you use a Roku streamer, says company CEO

    Good to know their business model is ads. That'll keep me disinterested. Marketing has crossed the event horizon. I can't stand it at all any more. Any of it.

    Apple plays ball with the Chicomms because they can make more money that way.  what is good for Wall Street is good for America..
    Wall Street isn't good for America.

    Also, AI, you've another typo: "...the company publicly touts a strong stance on against censorship..."

    "On" or "against". Pick one.

    On first reading it looks like a tacit admission of a design problem but the user will have to live with it once out of warranty or pay for repair.
    Sounds like the GeForce 8600M problem in earlier MacBook Pros, where they just swapped out an identical logic board with another GPU that had a 100% failure rate.
    Exactly. (and that's what killed my first MacBook Pro) This isn't a solution. It's a PR action.

  • 25 years ago, Apple's board of directors pushed out CEO John Sculley

    All the same bad business decisions are back at today's Apple (too many unrelated and wasteful projects, focusing on profit margins instead of product quality, losing sight of the core Apple product line, etc), and there is no Steve Jobs out there any more that will step back into the company to straighten it out.
