For no apparent reason, DirecTV Now dropped my rate to $10/month (it said because I had unlimited data on AT&T, but I use Verizon), then raised it to $15. I'm not complaining.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
Google played it smart, now all they have to do is piece together all the leak videos and put it on a big screen at the keynote

the steve-style extreme secrecy into a keynote is a stupid marketing trick and it is better for consumers if information about the future does trickle out, i am sure they don't mean to, but it accidentally makes them a less bad company

what a dumb thing to do, in either instance. leaving your phone somewhere is careless enough, but doing that with some sensitive test mule is even stupider.

the whole keynote thing is stupid, at this point I think it's mostly ego stroking for the executives who get to be on stage

there's like a million people willing to write about apple news, inviting 500 of them to the campus is totally unnecessary and they could just email out a press kit

Gf is down to 77% and she was playing games and listening to music. That's insane. I need a new player. Could it be devouring the battery as I have like 1300 local tracks, many of which are flacs?

yeah i don't think apple's going to give up the free press coverage from ravenous tech "journalists" that fill the seats of their events and replace it with a quiet mailing list. seems... well, dumb.

large important news rooms send top reporters to these events and then breathlessly relay every dumb thing that timb et al said during them, often word-for-word and/or playing a clip, and they do this with no critical commentary. they often lead their prime time news hours with this stuff. but yeah i'm sure sending an email will get them the same amount of free advertising durrrrrr

99% of people don’t read keynote liveblogs and the tech press will regurgitate anything that’s in a press release from an important company, frequently verbatim

Nintendo stopped going to every trade show and just streams prerecorded announcement videos from their own studio and people react the same drat way they did to live events. if it was about letting people get their hands on stuff to check it out they could do smaller events in sf and new york, maybe one in hong kong at the same time

did you miss the part where i mentioned the true fact that large important news rooms send top reporters to this and report the verbal spew of apple execs word for word. i said nothing about blogs or tech press, rather i specified actual news organizations

but yes, again, clearly apple should give up zillions of dollars in free advertising. you are much smarter than they are
