It'd be hard to get bored on this ship!

was an apple radar response discussed at a meetup. can't really pass those around publicly due to apple nda's and all

blog that got a lot of this stuff going: http://michaellynn.github.io/2016/10/04/mDMacOS/ , apple dev's have been hinting that profiles are going to be the only management option real soon.

tbh this sounds almost exactly like something apple/tim would do given their track record over the last year or two

they've got enough market share amongst upper middle class types at this point that they have no reason to give a poo poo about web developers because they likely don't bring them any direct profit beyond the hardware, whereas app developers can install xcode via the app store and those apps are guaranteed to bring apple profit if they cost anything more than free

it's a horrendously dumb thing but it really wouldn't be super shocking at this point if they want the true walled garden and are shifting more and more towards ios

if apple has a really bad first half I could see him being gone by winter but who knows what the internal perception is right now. next ceo should 1000% be craig though.

if you aren't an ios developer you don't matter to apple. swift might be open source but it's pure posturing at this point and the language isn't anything more than a way for devs to not have to write objc which probably isn't even that horrible these days.

Yeah , why would apple force more revenue to their app store. That'd be dumb.

the longer they keep iMessage iOS only the more people switch to Facebook or other (cross platform) messaging apps and become even less attached to Apple.

I dreamt I was an old dog, stuck in a honeypot. It was horrifying.
so apparently apple was going to take away the ability to charge the new macbooks, figuring people would just buy new ones once the battery ran out.

they didn't end up doing it but ugh knowing how much of a fuckup tim is it's only a matter of time

when I was waiting in line to buy the WiiU (yes there was actually a line) literally everyone there was waiting for the black one except me (everyone got a ticket to hold onto depending on which model you wanted). the guy in front of me asked me why I wanted the white one, and I told him because it's going to look greasy and scuffed up after 45 minutes. he thought that was a funny reason, but it's true. plus I'm italian which doesn't help.

i remember my friend's glossy Toshiba laptop was the grossest looking thing I ever saw and he was a pretty clean guy. My 7 year old thinkpad still looks great though, even though we are probably both as equally messy/not messy. this trend of glossy black electronics...it's gotta stop!

how often do you touch or move a wiiu tho?

good point however they ship it with the same color "tablet" and the black one looks like fingerprints.jpg in no time
