    Hmmm. User joins forum July 9, posts general "Apple is a global thief" trolling comment about specific patent litigation. Would there be a VirnetX connection there?

    2013: "Scott Forstall will be leaving Apple and will serve as an advisor to CEO Tim Cook in the interim.”

    Do you think Scott got more than a birthday card from Cook since leaving the company?

    I'm not saying there's bad blood, but this is just corporate-speak. Ive is out.
    Don't think so. Saying Forstall would be an interim advisor is quite different from saying Apple will be a client of Ive's independent company. The "interim" for Forstall apparently lasted about one morning. I suspect they'll ask Ive to do work on more theoretical projects. What he probably wants to get out of is another generation of iPhone. Been there; done that.

    Why in the world, if you own an iPhone, would you use cardiogram or fitbit?
    Because my Fitbit Charge 3's battery life allows me to go almost a week between charges, allows for automagic sleep tracking, is still waterproof, all while costing less than half a Series 4 non cellular model costs.  
    A Series 3 is a heck of a lot more affordable. You don't get a week between charges but you get a heck of a lot more that it can do for a little more money.
    People only look at price before complaining that "Apple is greedy".

    Apple products are very cheap for what you get. I bet Apple Watch will be supported longer and will last much longer too.
    It's not about thinking Apple is greedy. It's about buying a device that performs the tasks you need done. Apple's products are clearly worth their price ... if you need all the features the product offers.

    Use of a credit card doesn't have to be stupid.  For the past 45 years, I've only used an Amex as a credit card (I have Visa and Master Card but rarely use them) and I've always paid off the balance in full at the end of every month.  There are people like me that use credit cards as a convenient way to pay without incurring any interest rather than carry cash and I am happy to pay the annual fee for all the benefits ranging from insurance to fly miles.  I am sure there are many like me.  I am equally sure many like me are very interested in this card.
    They call people like us freeloaders in the industry, you know. :smile:
