yeah, during the week i had one, it kept sending me useless fb notifications despite me having them set to off, the watchfaces are all smaller than the $60 automatic seiko i usually wear (which is small by current watch trends), and the glances are all useless since they all have to refresh through your phone, so you may as well just check your phone since it takes 5-10 seconds to get you a 3 second look worth of information. maybe the next software update will improve these since it adds native apps, but i kind of doubt it.

native apps probably reduce battery life further, fwiw

Things are looking different inside IBM, too. Once a company of blue suits, Wintel personal computers and BlackBerrys, Big Blue is on track to become the world’s largest corporate user of MacBooks. On Wednesday, the company began to apply lessons it has learned, introducing a service intended to help other companies adopt Macs.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

you can just turn Apple music off if you don't like it and the music app goes back to the old way...

does 8.4 do anything other than add iMusic to your phone? the release notes didn't really reveal anything otherwise

computer dads do cobol and are concerned about cycles and memory. theyve got a sick table saw and calloused hands. they fix their own pipes and have a healthy homophobic streak. if your dad a simpering weakling? well, smdh. my dad is elderly and can open any jar. i love my dad, and respect him.

I'm a little shocked that no one has taken Apple to court on the grounds that Apple Music is anti-competitive. Microsoft got nailed for pre-installing on Windows, which isn't really that big of a deal as far as making money goes. The way iOS encourages you to subscribe to Apple Music when you set up the phone really seems far more anti-competitive than the IE thing ever was.

I don't personally care one way or the other, but I'm kinda surprised that it hasn't happened yet.

I was comparing it do the dumb case that MS got hit with over IE, retard. I use and like Apple Music, but it just seems like something Spotify would try to go after them on. Just because I don't post dumb poo poo like "praise timb" constantly doesn't mean I hate all of Apples products.

microsoft had a monopoly with over 95% market share. apple has, what, 40% in the us?

you can't abuse your monopoly if you don't have one.
