    You fundamentally do not understand the quote. It's pointless to explain it to you.
    And how about the next line, does that take special understanding as well?

  • App face-off: Apple iMessage vs. WhatsApp Messenger

    I receive a lot of "Whatsapp" spam.
    Don't want to use something that generates spam.
    (Whether Whatsapp generates spam directly or indirectly through a third party, I don't care.  I don't buy MetLife because of their spam generation either.)
    Where do you receive this WhatsApp spam, and how do you know it's WhatsApp that's the cause?
    Maybe he's confusing it with Kik.

  • Apple culture hinders recruitment and talent retention efforts, report says

    "A pain point for a lot of people with Apple is they can't talk about what they're working on, which hinders your social status in a way," Sultan said. "You want to put on your LinkedIn that you're working on the latest iPhone, but you absolutely can't. It's interesting Apple can retain top talent at all. I don't know how. They keep you sort of locked up."

    Surely the secrecy is a bonus. "Oh you work at Apple, what do you do there?" "Well I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."

    Most people I find that brag and big themselves up about their position or status at work are exaggerating or talking sh*t anyway. Maybe not the type apple wants to employ.
    Code breakers at Bletchley park had to keep their work secret for decades (work that helped end the war) and those people are whining about not putting what they work on on LinkedIn.... Oh My!
    So sad that Alan Turing didn't live long. Pure unadulterated genius, and in all likelihood would have contributed much more to the world of computing.

  • Bug or conscious change? Apple Pencil for iPad Pro gets gimped by iOS 9.3 betas

    All the complainers are doing it wrong.

    When you are writing in a book and you need to turn the page do you drop the pen and turn the page? If you do you're a bit mental.

    If you're writing or drawing and you need to scroll why would you put the pen down to do this? Do you only have one arm? Fair enough if that is the case but I expect you to be in the minority.
    Then that would make it a stylus which I keep getting told on here that the Pencil isn't a stylus. It's meant only for writing, and drawing, not for manipulating the UI.

  • Microsoft Windows Phone chief Joe Belfiore tweets from an Apple iPhone

    A NINE MONTH leave of absence? Why does he still work at Microsoft?
    Because one accomplishes the same by either working, or on hiatus for 9 months at MS.  :D
