The 8 people who have Bluetooth keyboards in their living room will be happy. Seriously just the image of someone sitting on their couch with a bluetooth keyboard balanced on their lap...I can understand why Apple put it at the very bottom of the priority list for release.

The other improvements in this update are huge. Dictation makes all the difference and really completes the puzzle when it comes to the Siri remote. And the change to the scrubbing behavior with the remote is huge. Not a single user out there that wasn't annoyed by having to delicately pick up the remote to prevent accidental input.

The absurdity of this situation cannot be overstated.

 

Why in the actual **** would they disable Bluetooth Keyboards and the iOS Remote App? Are they completely fucking bonkers?

 

You can't even say its to promote Siri because Siri doesn't work for most of the interface and apps, and there is NO SIRI DICTATION on any of the key entry fields.

 

This is one of the biggest head scratchers yet from modern Apple.

Eddie Cue or Tim Cook really needs to respond to this. They can respond to fucking Taylor Swift, but they can't respond to their own users. 1) No iOS or ? WATCH App. 2) No Bluetooth keyboard support 3) No Dictation support for any text field, despite the misleading emphasis on Siri. They literally went out of their way to make it difficult to use the product. Any of the three ways that would have satisfied text entry, for now, are all missing. Absolutely unbefuckinglievable.

I can charge my iP6+ with my iPad 12w charger to 100% in about an hour.  I can understand the file-transfer speeds with USB3, but I'm not understanding the charging times being implied with USB3.

No, I said show us those billion devices running "OS X" on ARM as you claimed.

And all those OSes are built from OS X. Just as Macs use Mac OS which now use 64-bit Intel architecture, and previously 32-bit Intel architecture, and before that, PowerPC architecture; all those devices I mentioned use an OS that came from OS X (which is Darwin OS, plus various other frameworks) to run on 32-bit ARM, and now 64-bit ARM.

That's an easy statement to make retroactively - but it has more to do with the expectations of each individual shareholder as to whether the stock purchase was an investment or a speculation - not a determination that you can apply to all GTAT shareholders...  If a shareholder bought their shares expecting their to be a big move, then it was speculative - but if they bought their shares expecting the company to grow mostly in-step with the market, then for that investor, his purchase was in fact an investment - albeit, a bad one as it turns out.

My point is that whether an equity purchase is considered a speculation or an investment is determined completely by the expectations of the purchaser.

not really. it's based on the company, not the purchaser. is this business the core compentcy for the business? do they have the talent and the track record? etc. all research here would have indicated no, pointing to it being a risky speculation.
