"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.

What's surprising, is that my desktop PC which has the resources to just keep a cached copy of my browser history from 5 minutes ago will reload a fresh page for no reason when I hit back, but my iPhone decides I really wanted to see whatever it wrote into the cache file last week instead of a fresh copy that I looked at 30 seconds ago

You're probably holding it wrong because no iphone of mine ever did that

i dont know why youd want a third party browser when mobile safari absolutely destroys any other mobile browser. chrome on android is so far behind its ridiculous.

is the "find in page" functionality still in the loving address bar in safari? because that is the most idiotic ui decision ever anywhere.

Seeing as I have memorized every piece of UI or arcane hand motion in iOS, really don't see how anyone could complain. It's extremely intuitive when you never have to think about what to do, because your sperg retard brain has already memorized it.

Well maybe not anymore, when you've learned the stupid god drat place they put the function in.

But the first time you wanted to find something in the page and there just doesn't seem to be a button or menu entry for it and you have to google it.

I mean i guess you could also bookmark pages by typing "bookmark this" into the address field and it would work fine. It would still be a dumb ui for it.

nevermind that actually doing a search in safari for how to search on the same page will reveal the "on this page" section of the address bar as you're typing it in

It doesn't make sense when Find is on text highlight in literally every other iOS app.

because the publishers were gonna pull their books

which means that the ebook market isnt really that big or important

really nothing else has taken off in the disruptive way that digital music has. even netflix has to fight tooth and nail for its content and its missing a ton of poo poo

they weren't gonna pull their books and if they did amazon could just stop offering them in print outside of mass market paperback reselling.

the absolute worst was hearing hack writers get up and stump for the publishers about how amazon was going to ruin books forever (by making them cheaper and more accessible then at any point in human history)

amazon folded because the publishers have more leverage. its really not that hard to find another shop on google when amazon doesnt have the book you want.

hell and who knows maybe you like that other shop better and buy your books there from now on
