    I fail to understand the hate people have towards the iMac's "chin".  It really comes across as petty and that chin I think is what differentiates the iMac instead of making it look like some large, generic monitor.  Get over it people. 

    I actually glad there's some kind of chin there, especially with the new color options, it allows some of that color to come to the front of the unit as well.  Good job Apple.

    I do with the specs for the iMac were more beefy.  I used an M1-based MacBook and while I was absolutely floored by the performance, I expected Apple would give the desktop Macs with ASi chips made for desktop-class machines.  I just hope that whatever Apple has in store for the larger 27"+ iMac, it better include more RAM, and much higher spec ASi chips.
    A chin serves no purpose. It should be removed.
    The chin is where the logic board and speakers are located so the chin does server a purpose.

    Anyone willing to pay $10 per week for SringVPN when ExpressVPN, NordVPN, or any other trustworthy VPN provider can be had for 25% of the cost is getting exactly what they deserve.

    So these 2 CLOWNS (Moyer & Chadha) risked their careers and wanted to avoid paying between $200 & $400 to legitimately get their CCW legally?  They should be imprisioned for pure greed and stupidity.

    What a pair of Morons!
    Reading comprehension and knowledge of the process is important if you're going to personally attack someone by calling them a moron. In many places the local law enforcement entity is required to approve the issuance of a concealed carry permit. Moyer and Chadha were not trying to avoid paying the fee, as you claim. In this case Undersheriff Sung held up issuing CCW licenses until Moyer and Chadha paid him a bribe. Who's the moron now?

  • Apple sues recycler for allegedly reselling 100,000 devices it was hired to scrap

    fahlmanfahlman
    This is due to Apple's repair policies more than anything else. Apple tells customers that their iPhones must be replaced even if they could be repaired by a competent technician. This is why all of Apple's claims of being "green" are rubbish. Reuse is the best form of recycling. This recycling firm was actually doing its job. It just happened that the way they did it was not in Apple's best interest even if it was in the best interest of the planet.
    Apple's repair policies are only relevant if the device is covered by the limited warranty or AppleCare. If it is not covered by either of these you are welcome to find a competent technician to repair your device and Apple can't stop you. Stop telling half truths.

    This recycling firm was not doing their job, no matter what you want to believe. Their job was to recycle the devices, not resell them, as is evident when you referred to them as "this recycling firm".
