    Just because the device was made in Indonesia, does not mean that was where it was put into the backpack!
    That was the best quote I've read all day. I guess I bought my phone in China!

    Clearly these two aren't the loudest airtags in the bag.

  • Hands on with Jony Ive's Red Nose: Unexpectedly well designed

    What is more ridiculous, this warmed over mini Halloween pumpkin or the fact that AppeInsider wrote such an extensive story about it?! Glad to see Sr. Jony doing something other than ruining Apple products with his misguided "function follow form" mentality! Hello floral plastic original iMac, Hello Dentine gum sized iPod mini, Hello dysfunctional MacBook keyboards, Hello disappearing ports……………Heck I could go on for days like this. In all fairness, many of his designs were excellent.
    You are very confused.

    - Ive’s designs exploded Apple and restored the company, and were copied by entire industries.

    - He has never espoused “function follows form”.

    - The original iMac was not floral. It was Bondi Blue, and a smash success; its color plastic panels were copied across sectors.

    Troll Score (tm): 2 of 10 

    Ive's designs also:

    - littered the company with "pro" designs that were neither expandable nor adaptable for pro users owing to focus on design (trash can mac pro) and thinness over function. He many never have "espoused" form over function, but his designs speak volumes.

    - cost Apple hundreds of thousands (if not millions) in damages due to his butterfly keyboard fiasco

    - and yes, there was a floral (flower power) design for the original iMac form factor. They literally sold hundreds!

    Left to his own "designs", Ive was a loose cannon. Only Jobs could rein him in, which is why his earlier designs were far more successful than the later ones.

    Moral of the story is, you both can be right! (How amazing is that?1?). Your troll score, on the other hand, is stupid.

    What? I thought these states’ inexorable march toward unregulated, unrestricted gun sales and ownership was supposed to make everyone safer. You know, because of all the “good guys” wandering around, armed to the teeth. Did Apple check first to see if the mall shootings weren’t just some of those good guys exercising their freedom and protecting us?
    It's cute that you think the supply of guns in this country will suddenly dry up in the event more restrictive gun control laws are enacted, or guns are banned altogether. These laws *may* work in Australia, New Zealand, and Great Britain. The one thing they all have in common is that they are *islands*. if you are naive enough to think that guns won't somehow find their way across the southern, or even northern, borders, I've got an apple store to sell you. If we can't keep fentanyl out of this country, what make you think we can keep guns out? People who aren't supposed to own them still will. Grow up.
