Tim Cook has tainted the Apple Brand somewhat with his political action on behalf of the company.

Astonished that they made NO changes to the remote. No way to know it's charging or is charged. No way to instantly tell the top from the bottom. And no way to "page" it, maybe with your phone, or via Siri to say "Here I am," because it's so tiny it can so easily vanish in bed covers. Just the most basic stuff. Frustrating.

I'm thinking that since there are no apparent changes to the remote Apple knows that it is popular with the majority of users and could care less what the critics say. If the remote is a deal killer for you then so be it.

It's not a deal killer, but it's got a problem when you have to put a rubber band on one end to be able to instantly feel the right-side-up in the dark (which I do). Even John Gruber feels it's a flawed remote. I love the touch surface and swipe-scrubbing, just wish they'd fix the symmetrical nature of it.

Eddy does not listen.  I put a case on all my   remotes and friends did so to. If you are a cord cutter and watch direct tv now for example, the touch surface is so sensitive a slight brush of a sleeve/blanket or a misdirection of a touch while fumbling for the up/down in the dark scrolls the channel. Its a PITA.  Also the TV and Menu buttons are on the touch surface so that a slight miss of the finger can cut off the feed.

Imagine working at Apple and having to put up with gay sht all day long, even if you are gay. Heterosexual discrimination in promotions and so on. 

Hypocrites are those who choose how to apply tolerance. Intolerant is what you are.

The story says that Microsoft is still supporting the GOP convention but I don't believe this to be the case. Microsoft I believed backed out for similar reasons regarding comments about minorities and women etc about a month ago.

So says one who is listening to one sided negative liberal news and blog sources?
