“Oysters or snails”…?
Note to whomever wins.
Ask this question/statement:
Can we please have a proper headless Macintosh that takes internal drives, cards and such minus the foo foo stylings of Jony Ive?
1-Some of us would like a proper beast for serious desktop use that has not been circumcised on the altar of fashion for thinness, hipsterness or the fucking cloud. Local storage internally without a spaghetti bowlful of cables and wall warts is a very nice thing to have.
2-Could we have an optional plug in external GPU since all of the newer MacBook Pros have been burdened with Vampire Video? If Windows Gaming PCs can have an external GPU I am sure Apple can figure it out.
3- Could we have a Mac mini without soldered CPUs & memory that has at minimum an Iris Pro GPU?
After the winner expresses your hardware needs, I request they add:
“Jony stick to hardware.” And Tim hire a usability team to watch how people actually work!!!
The PAGES apps is ATAVISTIC!!!
And the new calendar in iOS 9.1.3 has grid lines so thin that
you can’t tell where one day starts & the next begins!
Thank you. As a professional I echo your sentiments. But they really don’t care about us anymore. That’s just reality.
What a great guy, that Tim Cook. He actually permits a lesser person the privilege of sharing a meal with him. What a saint! The moral equivalent of Mother Theresa. Maybe conversation will be extended to corporate transparency and corporate responsibility.
“What a saint…”
Saint Bernard? 🙂
You’re just jealous because people would pay NOT to have lunch with you.
I don’t have to pay people to share a meal with me.
Just to be your friend then?
No, that would be your mother, who charges by the hour.
Ahh, succumbing to predictable mother insults, the last refuge of a total idiot.
Actually, your mother was predictable.
No wonder you’re considered a half-wit with uncreative halfwit repartee like that. Wake me when you say something remotely intelligent (oh wait I’d be in a coma forever then). Never mind.
Not sure I’d want to shell out six figures for lunch with the man, even for a good cause. But if, for some reason, I did so (say, with the backing of a fraternal organisation), I’d bring all your questions to him and report back. In any event I expect the food would be excellent, and I wouldn’t have to worry about him hitting on me.
People that can afford this won’t be asking questions about hardware, etc. Get real. They will eat and have a press conference to show they are ‘good people’ that contribute to charity, to forward their name in the wealthy community. Do be so Naive.
