when ios 7 came out yospos flipped its poo poo over that icon being animated because "lol two clocks"

yospos shifted its running in-joke from apple being unquestioningly flawless to "it's getting androidier". just keeping the comedy fresh around here

i actually like my Apple iPhone, mostly. i just don't like the way that every single software release since the death of Steve Jobs has been worse than the last.

i was walking around toronto the other day and they had like an eighty foot long billboard with pictures of apple watches on it, and from down on the street half of the images were blatantly 3D renderings. like the quality that some of my better students might do -- conveying the idea but obviously not a photograph of the real product. the lighting was wrong. what the gently caress, apple? this is the first time i've seen that level of mediocrity from them

each watch was rendered in a featureless gray environment with no hard light sources and with no other objects around, leading to unrealistic-looking reflections on matte surfaces.

are you sure? my understanding is that apple bases on real-world photography (e.g., Peter Belanger)

tim cook knows he can buy all the equality he personally wants, so making sure paul ryan is apple, or really, apple ceo friendly is vastly more important to him than any social justice. this is because tim cook is, in addition to being a bad ceo, a bad person.

It didn't do this with either of my old Android phones, which obviously also have software defined radios so unless the Apple radio is a special snowflake its not Verizons fault.
