My dad is a college professor and "multiple" students this year turned in term papers as printed out screencaps written in iOS notes app.

What? Does he teach at ITT Tech? How does anybody do that and think it's ok?

Not terribly interested in installing Developer Previews of either of these OSes this year. What a disappointment.

Seriously.

Like, the Apple team is always sort of adorably lame with their on-stage stuff. In like a weird dad sort of way where you sorta can't help but smile as they work the crowd on OS adoption rates or greeting cards or whatever other stupid thing.

But this is just lame-lame.


I guess they were really banking on having the new Apple TV ready for today....

Well this is a strange opinion. I don't know a single woman who doesn't use it all of the time. It's strange how one sided to the female demo it is (I know, like, 2 men who use it), but however they did it, they have it locked down.

What, SA has a really unbalanced gender breakdown and a bias that skews overwhelmingly male? News at 11!

I'm sure you would appreciate having a "Are Blacks fundamentally inferior?" Fox News article

Anyone remember 'The Daily?' That "newspaper" that Apple launched for the original iPad with Rupert loving Murdoch of all people?

ipad 2 is truly the workhorse of the ipad lineup

It was kinda obvious that they were gonna introduce some sort of multitasking.

There were references buried in OS 8 (and maybe even 7?) and it's not like they made the iPad 2 twice as powerful as the previous one so you could run Monument Valley faster.

Also means the 12" iPad pro or whatever is a go for the fall probably.

Rupert isn't some loony ultra conservative, he is just a crass business man. Fox News isn't so much a Murdock thing as it is a Roger Alies thing who is in fact a loony ultra conservative that Rupert is even scared of. Basically Fox News runs mostly completely autonomously from News Corp and is generally considered an incredibly profitable nightmare for News Corp.

Fun Fact: Roger Alies has bullet proof glass installed in his office because he is afraid that gays would try kill him. Seriously, he is literally afraid of being physically attacked by gay people.

I was aware but it's not like Rupe's exactly a paragon of bipartisanship.

It was also the implied quality.

Does anyone on earth actually use Facetime Audio?

I do all the time when I'm on my computer/ipad and I get a phone call. Because Apple decided to route their continuity phone features through FaceTime for some reason.

Works pretty solidly tho.

The Apple watchiphone will never catch on

They'll chuck billions of dollars at it until it does, and it'll probably suck a little less by that point

I was hoping there'd be a simple Apple Music app for the iPod Nano but that's a pipe dream...

Lol, that poo poo doesn't even run iOS.

The Nano isn't going to ever get updated again until Apple quietly updates it out of their lineup.

And as much as I love my Spotify sub, and as unfortunately irrelevant as Apple Music's cheaper family plan is to me (I bought my parents Spotify family accounts but there's no way to do that with Apple without that sharing iCloud poo poo), the writing's kind of on the wall here.

For all of its growth, Spotify is still hemorrhaging money, it's not even approaching profitability, and it has a fraction of the music industry pull that Apple does.

Even if Apple weren't basically the single most powerful entity in the music business, they can still easily afford to outspend Spotify on the bottom end.

I give it two years before they're squeezed to death.

Is anyone else surprised that Facebook doesn't have a music service yet?

No.

I think they know how that pie's been divided.
