  • The new MacBook Pro: Why did Apple backtrack on everything?

    Yeah, as great as a designer as he is, Jony started to sacrifice too much utility and durability at the altar of form.  (Much like Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings and houses looked great and innovative but were prone to structural and water damage.)  Jony's departure was timely.  He was probably getting bored too as there is only so much designing one can do on thin rectangular bricks.
    You mean to say there was only so much thickness he could shave off the devices before they were completely unusable right?  He's a one trick pony. I have seen other things he "designed" too. The leica camera which was a terrible design. His pretentious "lovefrom award"...He's washed up now. It's great to see apple moving away from his god awful choices of thinner at all costs design to moving back to acutal function over form.  I did like the idea of the touchbar, as it could do many things if implemented correctly.

    Don't like the conditions and your employer isn't breaking the law? Have conviction and quit. Walking off the job is a very different thing than a protest. By all means protest. Walk off the job? See you at the unemployment office.
    Disagree pretty much entirely.  Be the change you want to see in the world, don't just turn your back on it.
    You have to realise what company they are fighting. Most people here are "apple can do no wrong" types.  I am supporting the workers 100 percent. Just as I support the Amazon workers taking a stand.  Terrible working conditions are terrible working conditions no matter what company it is.  Most people here think apple's farts smell like roses and baby powder. They are a megacorporation who do not care about anything other than the almighty dollar. End of story.
