Breastfeeding, T-Rex highlight proposed shortlist of 51 emoji set to debut in 2017
surprise -- they're suggested by groups of people. people who don't look just like you and didn't come from wherever it is you came from.apple ][ said:Person with headscarf, lol. So, misogyny, slavery and the mistreatment of females is A-OK with these lunatics, but don't you dare have a gun emoji, that is unacceptable.
What a bunch of freaks.
Whoever is behind choosing and coming up with some of these emojiis are seriously demented and screwed up people.

Wistron building MacBook Pro Touch Bars after original supplier falls short - report
citing rumors to back up assertions -- yeah thats not really how it works. thanks for the laugh.gatorguy said:
I recall a number of recent articles claiming Apple to be demanding price concessions from various suppliers in order to maintain margins, so I wouldn't go so far as to say there's zero evidence. Two very recent examples are. . .coolfactor said:
There's no evidence to suggest that Apple is demanding the lowest prices, only quality that meets a certain standard. The supplier sets the prices that Apple must negotiate against. It sounds like this Singapore company simply overestimated their own capabilities of producing the Touch Bar to Apple's standards. It is a new product after all, not built from stock components.gatorguy said:I've no idea if this is the issue, just surmising, but the poor yield/quality issues could well be due to Apple's aggressive pricing demands from their suppliers. Perhaps paying a bit more might get them more reliable sources. The lowest price is so often not the best one to choose in my experience.

ive no idea if this is the issue, but maybe it's because of UFOs? perhaps noting the alignment of Saturn during the fall equinox might get them more reliable sources.gatorguy said:I've no idea if this is the issue, just surmising, but the poor yield/quality issues could well be due to Apple's aggressive pricing demands from their suppliers.

Apple said to be 'aggressive' in ordering MacBook Pro units, strong sales expected through 2017
rubbish. 16gb is great for writing software -- i use VMs, IDEs, photoshop, illustrator, etc. and i'm not alone:applefan8080 said:I will keep using my Macbook Air as I don't want to carry adaptors. I was underwhelmed by the new Macbook Pro, which lacks "pro" specifications.
