  • Apple officially ditches headphone jack for Lightning, will include adapter in iPhone 7 box

    Great argument. How about this: they got rid of ADB and SCSI and people like you whined, and then you shut the fuck up when no one listened to you and got with the fucking program pretty damn quickly.

    And you’re going to do it this time, too. So I’m not worried.
    Not usually (or perhaps never before) one to agree with tallest skil, but right is right. All this outrage, while recorded for posterity, will be history in a few months.

    Want to listen to music while charging? Get the AirPods or the myriad other wireless headset options. Pissed that you have to buy wireless headphones? Oh well. Plus, in the next month someone is gonna release a dual port adapter for $20 that lets you plug in headphones and charge at the same time. It just won't be an Apple product.

    Seriously, people need to get over it.

  • BitTorrent app Transmission once again source of macOS malware

    Besides thieves who download music/movies, who else uses BT?
    I used it to download the WatchOS 3 beta profile. Just thought I'd let you know, as that wasn't a category included in your self-righteous indignation.

  • Apple shakes up retail workforce with new and renamed job titles, other changes

    Apple - Steve just died again. You've lost your essence, and the momentum is seriously waning now. You cant create excitement without the product innovations and 99 pct of your retail staff is flat and lifeless. Creating a new internal job structure and creedo wont fix it - create an amazing new product and pay your people well enough to make passion for your brand the most important thing they need to be worried about. And while you're at it, you might want to promote individuals based on their talents and capabilities and nothing else. Some of the very best people I've ever worked with left you because your system ignored them. Lose the system and turn back the clocks.

    We've finally found the one!! Someone who can run Apple far better than Tim Cook. Quick, call the board of directors and get this guy hired. He's obviously a real expert on running a billion dollar company!! So are you free to take over the CEO roll from Tim or are you too busy running your own billion dollar company???
    Your fallacy is: Appeal to accomplishment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_accomplishment Also known as the I-don't-need-to-be-a-cobbler-to-know-my-shoes-have-fallen-apart fallacy
    No it isn't, and to cite that just shows ignorance. As even your citation states: "Appeals to accomplishment are fallacies only when they are simple appeals to authority. It is not fallacious to rely on the testimony of a person who has attained a certain level of education or experience if they can produce further evidence to back up their positions when required." [emphasis mine]

    So anonymous Internet poster claiming superior expertise than the person who has run Apple and generated almost a TRILLION dollars in revenue during his tenure is non a fallacious argument. In fact, the exact opposite is true. The fallacy of expertise comes from the anonymous Internet poster.
