  • Phil Schiller allegedly held back App Store review automation

    I don’t see why you can’t have a combination of automation and human eyes. One doesn’t preclude the other.

    You know, this thing could actually be useful (if it runs Mac apps) or completely useless and stupid (if it doesn't). 

    I wonder which one will happen?
    They already showed it mirroring a Mac screen.  Obviously it won't run Mac apps on-device without modification.

    And there's plenty of scope for it to be useful without running Mac apps.  Silly trolling.

    That isn't my point. My point with they made a meal of things is from an executive perspective, not a storyline perspective. 
    Yeah, that's going to need some further explanation, as I have no idea what you mean.  
    It's simple. 

    It goes back to my previous comment about being 'placed'.

    It is like someone at an executive level said, well we want a gay, lesbian, racist etc thread in there so make room for one.

    Just tick the checkboxes. It doesn't matter if those threads actually did anything more than simply 'be there'. 

    That is my criticism. Well, just one of many. 
    Pretty speculative though.  And hardly damning even if true.  Racism and homophobia are rampant in football, and have been getting increasing attention through the years.  As a show about football it is very understandable that they'd want to address such issues.  I don't really care if that comes from the executive level or the writing level, it only matters if it's written well. 

    The Colin Hughes storyline was written well, the Sam Obisanya was written fairly well, though a little undeveloped, and the Keeley Jones storyline was fairly incidental.  Hell, a gay storyline being incidental is in itself a pretty bold move.
    Each to their own but I thought none of those threads hit the mark well enough. Not surprising when you think they tried to cram it all into so few episodes. 
    Fair enough, but criticise them for not hitting the mark for you, no need to make up baseless rumours about executive interference.  To my knowledge no one else has claimed that.

    Is it just me that finds adverts that directly name (and shame) competitors tacky?

    What other brand of computer was mentioned directly?
    Those adverts took loads of jabs at Microsoft Vista.
