welcome to the present day where most apps are front ends for the web or a billion pay to play fart apps

also as a relative of a cancer patient, most cancer "treatments" are a joke and worse than the disease so judging someone for choosing to have a better quality of life is a pretty lovely thing to do

he wasnt trying to have a better quality of life, he was trying to cure the cancer. with bullshit homeopathy. he regretted it. please do not try and defend steves use of people who flog magical water to extremely ill people as a cure.

he went for proper treatment eventually to try and save his own life, in fact had extremely aggressive treatment beyond what most patients would go for in order to try and survive. he hosed up. he was a loving idiot.

web apps only got good in the past 3 years or so. also if cydia never came out for the iphone i feel that there would be no app store since half the features they've implemented since then are QoL things the mod scene added.

he chose not to have treatment because he was smart enough to know that exchanging any semblance of quality of life for a statistically insignificant chance of improvement is a bad exchange, he just ginned up the "cure" excuse to placate the shareholders while he got his affairs in order

most homeopathy practitioners don't actually believe in homeopathy, they just use it as an excuse because relatives get upset when a cancer patient decides not to get treatment that will destroy them physically before they die

steve had people killed to ensure the secrecy of the iphone

yes absolutely. steve would never have brought us the worlds finest smart phones, the 6/6s, because he was a dumb idiot who had to be constantly handled and talked down so that he didnt ruin the company with his idiocy.

steve is the one who made a phone that lost cell phone signal by holding it and had to issue free cases because of such a ridiculous design flaw.

the phone was designed by johnny ives, who now holds more sway than ever in apple's organization and brought us the design travesty that is the iphone 6, featuring camera wart and bends with normal use

i think the biggest innovation that steve brought to apple wasn't just his sense of design or what makes a good product, it was the utter contempt he had for people who actually work in tech, including engineers and especially executives

tim actually lets the very bad and dumb employees have their sway and as a result design and overall quality is slipping because if you give them an inch they'll take a mile

Stux

the 6 only bends with normal use if your normal use is sitting on your phone everyday.

most phones will bend or warp if you do this.

the solution is to not sit on your phone.

"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.
