New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

ah awesome. as of last night i had decided to just do away w/ using one all together. is that a bad idea? isn't the chance of something actually happening pretty infinitesimal? it also could get stolen or water dripped all over it too or lost

my workplace has a conference room we were using that had a power conditioner (surge protection/continuous power thingy) with all the a/v equipment connected to it. somehow, a nearby lightning strike fried all the hardware.

so uh, a surge protector with a good warranty is probably worth more than just a good surge protector. if some piece of equipment worth thousands of dollars did nothing...

Probably you should just live in a place where there's no lightning

otm

i just bring my phone when i travel

it's time to stop using computers. bye guys.

and thanks for that, mh. i think i'll just go without. maybe i should switch to chromebooks and keep my feature phone forever.

Had a brief freelance gig working IT support at a company which had to replace all of the computers on one floor because of electrical power issues. Turned out the building contractor cheesed out on the electrical and the power attenuations were so bad that stock surge protectors were of no use. Had to use power conditioners at every desk and server plug.

Not great but substantially better than Facebook/Google iirc

Actually exactly the same as Google - 70% male, 55% white: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2014/05/29/3442514/google-diversity-report/

uh actually sorry, Google's 65% white

MATH

i didn't look at those stats, but didn't gruber post cook admitting that they suck? i guess that's better than nothing

hopefully he changes things

This reversible USB connector is legitimately the most exciting thing Apple's done since the Mac Pro

ha how come no one did that before

i would imagine there's greater risk of the connector breaking that way but hey, more cable sales

great take thx

apparently these already exist!

A new USB standard (type C) with reversible connectors of both ends was finalized less than a week ago. Ultimately this will not only allow the plug to be inserted either way up, but make both sides of the cable have the same connector. But there will likely be a years-long transition period where existing-style connectors are used on one side so that the gazillions of existing USB jacks and devices can still be used.

that vine synchs up nicely to

yes

"Wish we could say more", eh? I hope it's not some voice-controlled watch thing.

Maybe it'll be a talking robot.

it might be a iphone

It's an iJobs robot that will automatically torment your boardroom and employees

maybe it's new headphones.

it'd be neat, but nah, whatever it is has been in development for years now, longer ago than the beats deal was in the works, and they wouldn't launch headphones that aren't Beats, and they wouldn't have had time to integrate Beats product team into whatever this is, and if it were headphones, and they were gonna be good, they wouldn't have bought beats.

why did apple buy bears kinda weird imho those shits suck

bears say hi to you

im sold

everyones saying its gonna be the iwatch and new iphones except the iwatch prob wont ship for a while seeing as there havent been any component leaks which means its not being manufactured yet

why wld they announce it early i guess to give developers some lead time to make em apps

i wonder what it'll be like i dont want to talk to a watch or wear a watch

kinda dubious of something that'll have voice as a primary input cause mostly u dont really want other people to know what ur doin

watches def seem like an item of the past and also are not at all cool

xp apps for the iwatch to be called 'tapas'

better be iGeordi

apple post jobs falling into new category panic???

feel like appletv has like 1mx more potential as a game changer than iwatch but also has major business/strategic hurdles that the watch does not the watch u can just make and thats that

a separate internet designed by apple in california

the watch will prob sell ok but not nearly the levels of the phone which is something everyone needs all the time, itll do really cool things that no one really cares abt as far as tracking yr health and body

wouldn't be surprised w/ a wait before the iwatch comes out. the ipad and iphone both had one.

i don't know about the ipod. i was, like, fourteen or something.

istr ipod only had like a week, but it was probably a lot easier to keep under wraps back then because the public weren't too interested

what if it's not a watch
