    How Apple considers a Mac that can only have 16GB of RAM a "pro" computer is beyond me. 
    Maybe because with 4 year old MBPr and 16 GB of Ram I can run Parallels running a Windows 7 CAD Simulation Program, run HD movie in iTunes, run HD movie in Photos, run Ashlar Vellum Argon, Safari, Calendar and Mail  all simultaneously with out glitching. Any reason for me to do all these together absolutely not and I have no reason to upgrade if I can run OS X and Win 7 using two different CAD programs. When NASA engineers and Physicists from every National Lab are using MBPr, I think we can say these are "Pro" laptops as indicated by the caliber of Professionals that use them and not by someone that looks at "big numbers" and associates that with throughput.

  • New Google Photos ad riffs on struggles of 16GB iPhone users

    Yes, why keep 10,000 pictures on your phone, just unload it to your desktop every once a a while.

  • Supreme Court to hear Apple v. Samsung appeal on Oct. 11

    Totally disgusted with this Samsung, no ethics whatsoever. A government sponsored monopoly that looks the other way for all things that are almost criminal.

    Not on a phone that's been out only two months.  Context is everything.
    Try this context on for size. The iPhone launched in September 2015, and the first BOGO offers were in November 2015. That's 2 months in my calendar. 
    Hello? Read reply above. These are carriers trying to lull customers with bogo deals not the OEMs

    Sadly, he understands Brexit all too well!

    I wouldn't say he does, as he's looking at it like it's something bad. It's stupid to expect immediate results from it, let's wait a couple of years, because the opposition will do everything to make it look evil in public..

    That article right here reflects the opinion of the writer and he has the right to think so. He thinks Apple's always right, no matter what they do because his main argument is "apple gets the biggest profits". Yeah, but do they really offer the best value for costumers? Depends on the experience of one, I certainly don't think so. I sold my HTC ONE M8 in 2014 to buy a big iPhone, am I satisfied with it? Kinda, but it actually does nothing better than the S6 last year. Will I buy the iPhone 7? Hell no. I'm waiting for my contract to end and I'm buying the Note 7. Why? Just look at how much Android has advanced. Apple likes to brag about their camera, design, software, speed, innovation. Those 'facts' are old now and they are not valid anymore. Apple is popular because it has that biten apple logo on the back, shallow as it sounds. But if you are looking for real quality than you have other options as well. 
    I guess it depends on what you call value. I like to get the latest iOS software automatically and not hope that my phone is on a list for upgrade as with Android. I like the fact that Apple doesn't just try a bunch of different unproven technologies just to see what sticks.
