"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.

two activities apple fans enjoy:

* calculating that the price of apple hardware is in fact really low given all the premium components and complex workmanship

* smugly pointing out that apple is hugely profitable compared to all their scrub competitors

"better than a samsung tablet" isn't exactly high praise... in fact i can't think of a single object in life that this phrase doesn't apply to

As for what Apple will do with the space formerly occupied by the jack? It'll be taken up by a new sensor to improve the iPhone's 3D Touch experience.

any bets the new sensor is a dongle with a soldered-in 3.5mm plug

replacing the headphone jack with something to improve 3d touch is pretty emblematic of tim's philosophy:

eliminate useful, widely-used features in service of eroding primary functionality such as discoverability and ui design

the floppy drive was dying when apple nixed it

getting rid of the superdrive made sense even in 2008 when the macbook air first came out because they were dying and you could buy the external one if you needed it

the lightning cable was a great upgrade at the time (although i wish they'd move to usb-c to keep in line with the macbook and allow cable reuse)

getting rid of the headphone jack is unnecessary and dumb bullshit because bluetooth loving sucks
