What it was like to give up my Apple Watch after three years of constant use
Guessing you don’t have one...Watashi10 said:This article looks like a nice Sponsored Ad for the Apple Watch. It's really hard for me to believe that you're actually using all the functions mentioned in the post and that you need them so badly

Google confirms it tracks users even when 'Location History' setting is disabled
My brother in law said “why do we care that we’re being tracked, again?” I’d enjoy reading some of your reasons. -
Apple's UIKit, Xcode among the top 20 fastest growing, in demand skills
Too bad Apple is such a vanilla company with no personality. These poor folks are going to waste their time learning a skill on such a doomed platform. /s

Apple not taking chances with ads, is too 'vanilla' says former ad director
Less innovative by what measure? It’s a “feeling” not a fact. And feelings are notoriously counter-factual.SpamSandwich said:We’ve all noticed the difference, Ken. Apple is less innovative and unpredictable, but more profitable.

Untrue. Misunderstood was great. The Frankenstein’s monster as was great as well. Memorable.Eric_WVGG said:Apple should have gotten sued like mad over the Think Different campaign.
It would be illegal for a company to make commercials featuring Tom Cruise without first reaching an agreement with him. It's illegal to use the likenesses of Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe without reaching an agreement with their estates. Someone tried to cop on the Beastie Boys recently and the surviving members went nuts.
Doesn't matter if they're "paying tribute" — featuring John Lennon and Martin Luther King in an advertisement is weird and creepy. The campaign confirmed many anti-Apple biases of the company being conceited and hollow. Twenty years later, they're still combatting that image.
That said… the only truly great ad they've made in years was the Spike Jones HomePod bit.
