  • Prototype iPhones bearing engraved mute button surface in photos

    This is a forum for geeks which means that getting terminology correct matters. The first models were iPhone and iPhone 3G. The reference to “iPhone 2G” is nonsense. “Original iPhone” should have been used in this story.

    Nonsense.  Apple is already hooked up to the grid even though they claim that the new campus is 100% green energy.  How about all the mining of minerals and rare earth metals taking place in China and the Congo where child and slave labour are used??
    how about the thousands of tons of concrete alone used in the base of 1 wind turbine non of it possible without fossil fuels??
    How about the millions of birds and bats killed by (many of which are protected and endangered species) wind turbine blades every year???
    what about the 1000s of miles of transmission lines from the turbines??
    How about the fact that you need 100% fossil fuel back up when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine???
    CO2 is NOT a pollutant!!!!  Each of us almost 8 billion people exhale 2 pounds of it every day!
    Biomass is destroying forests globally for wood chips another “green energy “ joke.  Trees that have takes decades if not centuries to grow are being bulldozed over in the name of green energy.
    Green energy is a scam.  Wake up people.
    I have a suggestion; Learn something about a subject before you comment. That way you won't look so foolish.
    Literally everything you said is not, or is no longer true.
    I have a suggestion. Learn how to give specifics when you criticize someone’s post.

    Great plan Apple but you lost me when you said “Systemic racism and climate change are not separate issues.”

  • Scott Forstall discusses being hand-picked by Steve Jobs and working at Apple

    Forestall is smart and Steve valued that over Forestall’s friction with co-workers
