And it started with a political speech from Cook too. This thing is beyond the pale.

If you believe basic human rights are political then you're the problem.

And, macOS is the last item on the list for discussion. It has become crystal clear that Macs and macOS are now the red headed step child no one wants to talk about. when Jobs changed the name from Apple Computer to Apple Inc the handwriting was on the wall. Apple thinks Macs and macOS are EOL. They just haven't come right on and said it.

And this is just dead wrong. Presentations don't lead with the most impressive reveal. Apple has never done this and macOS is clearly the biggest news this year.

Please let us turn that crap off. 
The new ”features” Involving the home screen are worthy of Ballmer era Microsoft.
Same for cartoons in messages.

Design-led vs technology-led vs shareholder-led... I know most of you think Apple is perfect and can do no wrong, but I see a lot of form-crippling-function, some moderate technology exploration (but not much in a leadership or groundbreaking way, which is admittedly hard), and a lot of shareholder MBA-type “leadership” in Apple’s behavior for six or so years now.

What else do you call the pathological obsession with device thinness (to the point of harming ergonomics and function), obsession with reducing manufacturing costs while *raising* prices on customers, and offering only ONE machine, only recently, that is not thermally crippled, but which costs an absurd amount of money...??

When Apple becomes technology-led rather than design-led we'll know that the spirit of Apple — of Steve — has finally left.
Apple has always been about excellence in human-centred design.

More like shareholder-led.

Very early on there was a really attractive concept image of what an Apple Car would look like………but it seems forever now that everyone writing about the mystery car uses this horrific image. Imagine a head-on crash with virtually no front end as this image shows. If and when an actual car is released, it needs to put the fine Tesla designed cars to shame. But most importantly it needs to be THE FULLY AUTONOMOUS CAR the world's been waiting for.

Well....it’s gonna be a longggggg wait. By that time Tesla would be logging miles and miles of robo taxis and autonomous vehicles, my 1 cent hehe

Right, Apple always late to the game... and then they wind up dominating the market, my 1 cent hehe

Artificial Intelligence is a game that will be won over a stretch of time, but the effects of both Moore’s Law and the approaching Singularity hint to us there is a definitive end point.
