Re: I hate Apple
Of course, the message wouldn't say that. It would be
"Camera has been blocked for your safety and convenience"

Re: I hate Apple
Turns out the EU hates Apple too.
Apple should repay Ireland €13bn, European Commission rules - BBC News
Quote:
After a three-year long investigation, it has concluded that the US firm's tax benefits are illegal.
The Commission said this enabled it to pay substantially less than other businesses, in effect paying a corporate tax rate of no more than 1%.
|
Ireland are objecting, of course. But their standard corporation tax is already very low (12.5%). So it's all shady.

Re: I hate Apple
The Ireland government is taking the stance of, "we don't want your filthy money" because if they accept the money it will be admitting they were operating illegally when they made the special tax arrangements with Apple.

Re: I hate Apple
Funny, I had a friend who was one of the most vitriolic, holier-and-more-progressive-than-thou Bernie supporters on my Facebook feed, and he's "disgusted" with the EU's actions of "shaking down" American tech companies like Apple and Uber.
So I replied that I agree with Bernie and posted these tweets:
A mutual friend (more my friend than his) posted something like "So you disagree with Bernie?!" and he responded in a bitchy fashion.
Long story short, defriended over Apple's taxes, apparently.

No Control: Thoughts on the End of the Headphone Jack and the Future of Digital Music - Stereogum
Not that I ever cared much for the iPhone, but I will definitely never be getting one now. This is horrible on too many levels for me to summarise. This piece is really good, thankfully, so I don't have to.

Re: I hate Apple
OMG. That's horrific. I hadn't even considered the DRM part.
But you know, people don't give a shit, so I don't give a shit. If you pay $600 or whatever for a phone without even researching it, only to discover it doesn't do the basic stuff you expect it to do, then good. You deserve that. I hope it eats all your music and you cry a lot.
(Also thanks for the link because I just just learned from the sidebar that Wovenhand has a new album out.)

Apple: Our way or fuck you!
Oh look another proprietary connection that forces you to either buy an apple licensed product which only works on their phone or the more expensive and still unreliable bluetooth version.
Someone needs to make an apple logo with a ton of dongles coming out of it.

Re: I hate Apple
iOS 10 The shit show.
The most advanced mobile operating system ever... allows you to send gifs to people. But since they sourced from one of those gif dump sites not only can you send your favorite geocities flaming skull or early cat flash animation, a few more questionable gifs have slipped by apple's watchful eyes,
There's My Little Pony Porn Hiding In iOS 10
And if you really wanted animated clop porn, be warned, the new OS has been bricking some phones,

Re: I hate Apple
My response to Apple and the elimination of the 3.5mm headphone jack is to tell them to go fuck themselves. Eliminating it will result in me never purchasing an iPhone.

Re: I hate Apple
So, I really need to stop using Apple's Podcast app. It has been routinely failing to actually download podcasts. It also crashed while I was driving today.
IOS 10 has several other annoyances, too. They made notifications more annoying, harder to read and I'm pretty sure the notifications display is buggy.
