New Apple video blurs the line between iPad Pro and computer, repeats Steve Jobs 'post-PC'...

The real question is... 'Why a computer?'

Really.

How many people 'compute'?

Most people 'interact' they don't compute... so they need an interaction device. something to communicate/interpret/assist/enhance stuff around me or far away.

People who 'compute' are the 1 percent... the truck drivers in the other Jobsian metaphor. We need them, and they need 'trucks,' but their vehicles shouldn't define my experience.

and all those who want a 'mac tablet'... you're asking for a Kenworth engine and transmission in a tesla. get over it.

I don't have an iPad Pro but there is no way I can use my air for much work related stuff. I am sure the pro is a lot better but I rarely have less than 10 apps open and I need to spread out. I find 27" tight at times.

That magazine cover is brilliant! /s

Ive is considered by many to be one of the best designers in the world today, if not the best. I’m thinking of you standing in front of a Jackson Pollock work, scratching your head, and exclaiming WTF?

Anybody that admires Jackson Pollack is an effete, shallow, fraud.

Asinine statement

Thank God! I thought I was about to have an iPhone with intermittent problems which I can never get fixed! Phew! Let's hope they find that software fix and release it soon rather then later.

I thought you were being sarcastic. I have never owned an iPhone where this did not happen. The iPhone 5s would last minutes in cold weather. I am talking really cold but it would shut down regardless of charge. I'd get a few pictures taken and that would be it. The 6s is marginally better but by no means great.

Whoever wished Apple to create multiple user profiles for iPad can kiss it good bye now. Face ID is for sole user profile.

Really? I thought the opposite. Face ID lends itself perfectly to multiple users.
Apple slams story of cash hidden in Jersey to reduce taxes, calls itself 'largest taxpayer...

The fact that Apple is the largest tax payer in the world seems entirely irrelevant to me. I don't know the details of the allegations and have no opinion at the moment, but the fact that you pay a lot of taxes means only that you are very rich, not that you you are innocent of any bad behavior.
