    "I think that's exactly what it is," Cook said. "I think it's a desire to reallocate taxes that should be paid in the U.S. to the EU."
    Wow, that's rich. Set up a corporation with the express intention of avoiding paying taxes in the US or EU, then try and play them off against each other when you get caught.

    Sorry Tim, your hands are slick with red stuff.
    Get caught abiding by Irish tax laws in Ireland?
    The EU is not ready for the global economy and should be dissolved.
    What the fuck do they think this is?  A Socialist World?
    The union of the states comprising the United States should be dissolved, because I don't like they way it operates, from my jaundiced, ill informed, one-eyed, childish, naive, parochial point of view.

    My opinion is that an adapter will not be included. Apple has never, to my knowledge, included any adapter when it switches ports. My iMac 14,2 did not include a Thunderbolt-> Firewire adapter when Apple got rid of Firewire. When the iPod went from Firewire to USB there was no adapter. Including a 3.5mm adapter would defeat the entire purpose of moving to a digital port. The idea is to firmly nudge user to the new port, not enable them to stay put. There will indeed be an adapter but it will not be included free. You will have to buy one separately. Only a few days before we find out who’s right.  B)
    They have included an adapter:

     

    6 pin to 4 pin Firewire adapter.
    With what machine(s) did they ship this adapter? I ask because I don't recall Apple ever using a 4-pin FireWire.
    3rd Gen iPod.  They also included a set of earbuds, power adapter, a dock, a soft draw string bag, a well made clip on holster/case, 30 pin - firewire  cable, and a really good wired remote / headphone cable extender.  Then they invented iGreed.

    I have never found anything that took the 4 Pin Firewire.  My best guess is that some Windows laptops might have had such a port.

  • Mirle readying equipment for curved glass chassis on 2017 iPhones - report

    cnocbuicnocbui
    Curved glass adds exactly what to the user experience? Seems like another silly dead end like curved panel TVs. (Curved screens only make sense in theatres where the size differential between viewer and screen is huge.) 
    Since we are talking about a glass chassis, who said the curve in question necessarily relates to the front or the display?

    I think it's English, Jim, but not as we know it.
