Jim should be paid for ads.

Agreed. Disturbing and, given the overt anti-Christian actions of the Apple-polishing managment, disgusting.

I don't need it to tell time. I've got an iPhone for that!

This is going to be such a great device. I wish I had three hands so I could wear three of them.

"Ya know what is often said about people who go about pointing fingers and yelling “fag! fag!"

sorry, i'm not going to support their agenda to normalize homosexuality by using the 'g' word

homo, homosexual, queer, and fag are the options. which do you prefer?

“I can’t for the life of me think of a reason to start wearing something like this.”

Ok, so don’t.

Some of us do, and see it as cost effective. Let us without heaping insults on us.

So who does free republic bill for you and star guy constantly promoting apple ? Is that not what you are doing. Its easy to see.

Do you see the list of names on the address line on the ping on this thread? Although they don't show all of them, there are over SEVEN HUNDRED of your fellow Freepers who are members of an interest group on FreeRepublic who have asked me to do this. That is why I do this. . . no billing necessary.

Check out DayGloRed's Microsoft/Windows interest group ping list, or the other interest groups on FreeRepublic. I maintain two others at this time including the Shroud of Turin interest group and the Electric Universe interest group. Neither of them is as active as the Apple/Mac/iOS interest group. . . but I don't post all of the article for any of them. I just ping the groups to the articles.

FreeRepublic offers many types of articles and interests for its members. If you don't like a topic, skip over it and move on to something that does interest you and leave the members who are interested in peace to read what they ARE interested in reading and commenting on. It is not your place to decide what Jim and John Robinson permits on their website. Find something that suits your tastes and enjoy the diversity of thought and subject matter Jim offers on FR.

I haven’t seen any ads ... but ... news articles on Apple products, services, business and software ... all of which the 700 FReepers who are signed up on the list want to see.

Being an Apple customer means you want to see what’s happening with the product, with the software, with the services and with the business ... all aspects of what Apple customers want to see.

It’s the same thing Microsoft users want to see, which is why they post their news articles ... :-) ...

Why should I go with Android, which I consider to be an inferior system, when I’ve been using the iOS on Apple products, and have been very pleased?

I’m not the one consistently and aggressively expressing an unhealthy obsession with homosexuality here.

“Stumbled”? Title is pretty clear. And so what if some people are excited?

Apple products aside, it seems kind of ironic that we have ‘smartphones’, ‘smartwatches’, ‘smartTVs’ etc., but only ~50% of Americans can read a book at an eighth grade level, and our high school graduation rate (which is at an all-time high) is ~81%.

Yum. I didn’t think I wanted an iPad but now I’m considering buying a third one. This stuff is addictive.

If you have the moolah, look at the Apple Watch Edition in 18K rose gold with a light grayish pink leather strap. . .


Apple Watch Edition in 18K Rose God only $17,000

Or perhaps this one:


Apple Watch Edition 18K Yellow gold Bright Red Leather Strap same price

Because I’ve learned to, in due time, stand up to bullies and other disruptive types.

I write iOS apps and have a professional interest in the Watch. Learning about its capabilities helps me better society.
Why are you here?

You can get a samsung android on tracfone for a years service and 1200 minute, plus rolling over any prior minutes, for about 80 dollars.

It was cheaper for me to get the new phone plus service than just buying the service card itself.
