Apple doesn’t give a poo poo about neckbeard hipsters who spent thousands of dollars on expensive audiophile gear that rely on 100-year-old technology to transmit audio signals.

What are they improving on with the lightning jack? Everyone's talking about how they freed up space for another speaker and a tap dick engine and I haven't seen a single person say "and it makes headphones sound 10x better"

They say "why is the toilet paper like that? Is that a good idea?" and Apple says "no, you like it like that. That way is innovative. Also we invented toilet paper" and apple users then say "wow yes you're right we like it like that. And we're so glad you invented toilet paper."

i dumpstered many a nickleback album before i picked up a hello magazine and read about avril and chad's marriage and friendship. unfortunately some people really were offended by it and pr had pushback. arguably avril is a confused girl but incredibly adrenal when she's on. hopefully she's found her muse and stability now but people like her are rare to settle. all in all we've been planning a big island move for quite some time and we're in the omega era as it's been done a few times now.

Honestly I have gotten so used to using Bluetooth headphones with my Android phone that removing the headphone jack doesn't strike me as an entirely bullshit idea, but having a single button on a phone certainly does.

Whenever iOS versus Android comes up, I'm reminded that it was a pile of junk until Google finally added SD card app storage in mid-2010, a full 3 years after the iPhone was launched with 8gb internal storage, compared to only 512mb on most Androids at the time.

LOL never forget people getting upset about "huge" 20mb apps: http://android-developers.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/apps-on-sd-card-details.html?m=1

Users are dumb and will rip them out while a program is accessing them, then bitch about corrupt data.

Users are dumb and will buy the cheapest slowest pile of dumpster fire garbage Chinese made no name brand card and bitch that their device is slow.

SD card slots are expensive.

I am forgetting some other things as well.

the iphone 6 already feels kinda fragile (and is IME compared to the 5/5S/SE style) because it's too thin. makes it harder to hold also. or maybe that is just the weird slippery edges that they made or some reason. there's yet another way they could eek out more space: don't round the corners so much.

I don't hate deaf people because their other senses are heightened to compensate for the lack of hearing.

You on the other hand aren't, so stop driving, using the phone, and blocking out sound and pull the gently caress over you idiot.

Take your headphones out, put both hands on the wheel, stay 3 car-spaces behind the car in front of you, slow down to 5 under the speed limit, and maybe then you'll be half as good a driver as ratbert90.
