This is the point people who never worked in a R&D or product development environment and these are distinctly two different things. Apple could be doing lots of R&D on various topics or technologies but this does not mean any of these ideas will ever see the light of day or be a consumer based product. Just look at all the Apple patents, their are lots of ideas coming out of Apple, how many of those patent ideas have turned into a real product.

Everyone should believe Apple is doing work with AR/VR, what you should not believe is that Apple will be turning out a consumer based product around these technologies. Remember Apple is a consumer Electronic company not a R&D think tank who comes up with great idea that only a few people will buy into.

Maybe I'm an outlier (although I think I'm pretty typical in this regard), but the "movie theater experience" is very different (and better) than watching a movie at home,  When I'm in a theater, I'm 98% absorbed by the movie.  When I'm at home, there are just too many distractions.  I went to see Doctor Strange in the theaters twice.  I'll watch it on Blu-Ray at some point, but it won't be the same experience.  If I'm going to be watching at home, I don't care whether it's in the theaters or year later, but it had better be cheap.

128GB SE - I assume they did their research, but doesn't quite make sense to me - the lowest resolution, entry level device needs this much memory? To think I have an ipad with 16GB (that requires 'app shuffling' all the time) - that truly is backwards.

My daughter has a 64 GB SE and would have bought the 128 if it was available. She takes a lot of pictures of her children who are very active in sports. Yes, she would have liked to have a 7 with its better camera but the SE is much cheaper and within her budget.

"Fake news" has an actual meaning. It refers specifically to invented stories published to troll or make money.

Such as “the US election was stolen by Russia.”

And you know "Russia hacked our election" is a lie because...?

There is zero evidence in favor of the claim and every single institution researching the concept has found absolutely nothing to tie Russia to the election? Pretty simple to comprehend. If you have anything that refutes literally every study being done on the subject, feel free to post it. Truth is objective.

Most of this is good analysis, but when Daniel talks about "Fake news", don't forget he's a hard core marxist.  The lies put out by "correct the record" and the Hillary campaign (eg: "Russia hacked our election!!!11!one" and that kind of BS) are considered "news" by his kind.

"Fake news" is when the truth debunks the "Fact check" and other propaganda sites.

And you know "Russia hacked our election" is a lie because...?  

Because it's simply not a true fact. The DNC had its emails hacked -- that itself does not mean, and cannot be equated to, the election being hacked. Hacking the election implies the polling booths were manipulated, when they were not. The DNC hack exposed some dirty truths -- that the DNC was cheating and violating its own rules, and that a CNN staffer was involved. They all resigned, rightfully so. But none of that means Clinton would have or should have won had the truth not come out. Only one time since WW2 has a party kept the POTUS office for three terms, and that was Bush following Reagan. It's a fluke.
