I love my new iMac! But my Quicksilver G4 lasted forever, and would still be running if the Electric Company hadn’t screwed up and blown the power supply. I just might get it fixed.
“Ford did not innovate by creating the production line?”
He really didn’t! He just adapted it. There’s a great pic of Henry at a slaughterhouse watching a production line of men carving up pigs. That’s where his “innovation” came from!
It might very well be worth it to get just that power supply replaced if it has been working well for you ... :-) ...
There are a number of places on the web that have spare parts that are reasonably priced.
And for those who use those Apps, there have been styli available since 2010. They work quite well. For even more control, there are pressure sensitive styluses. that broaden the width of the stroke and with a click of a button on the stylus, change that from width to intensity of the stroke. They are available for prices anywhere from FREE (my office gives away pens with stylus tips) to over $300, depending on functionality. Apple is most likely not going to include a stylus when the vast majority of customers will not need one. Those who do, will purchase the one that most nearly meets their need. One size does not fit all.
Because they will put full windows machines in phone sized packages. Add a Bluetooth keyboard, bluetooth mouse, plug in a mini HDMI cable to a monitor and you can have your full windows machine with all your software installed wherever you happen to be at the time.
This will pull the power users (who seek the most capable and flexible platform) away from android. Possibly for good.
Power users are a relatively niche market sector, yet they affect the purchases of a wider group of people who rely on them for advice and tech support.
Over time Android will take a hit. Apple was never much of a competitor for this market sector because of the relentless effort they put in to keeping their walled garden enclosed. Windows Phone was too much increased cost and too much more work for the small amount of increased functionality it held over Android.
This will be a different trade off. And Android has already set itself up to lose by decreasing SD card functionality.
The FUD Packer has posted. You are slipping. It took you five posts.
Any time a CEO say his company will never do X you should always understand there’s an addendum “unless the market makes clear indications we should”. It would be a stupid company to refuse to add styluses or small screen models when the market clearly wants them because some dead guy said they wouldn’t half a decade ago.
Under Jobs, you'd be wrong. Apple did not make political contributions. As CEO Jobs left that to the Employees' Political Action Committee. . . which received no funding from Apple Inc. at all. Apple had one of the smallest lobbying footprints in Washington, D.C. of any tech corporation and also made no political donations to candidates. Even Steve Jobs' political donations were very minor compared to others at his level. . . in the ten years prior to his death, he donated less than $100,000 to political candidates. . . and certainly did not do what Bill Gates and Steve Balmer did in donating half an million dollars each to anti-gun groups.
Apple did belong to non-profit industry associations that some considered "Green" such as e-PEAT, and the like. . . but even Greenpeace said that was only for marketing purposes, to get the e-PEAT seals environmental approval on their products.
“What about having the king of global warming scam artists on the board of directors?”
They probably pay him to stay away and shut up!
Hmmmm. AppleWatch, HealthKit, and ApplePay, something that no one had come up with that is anywhere nearly as secure. . . and does not reveal ANY customer data or require the relinquishing of identity data to another 3rd party like Google Wallet does. The Banks and credit card companies are ecstatic with the concept!
It wasn't quite the same thing as the Sony hack.
What they did was build on technical "secrets" that were openly published in the Bell System Technical Journal, copies of which were available in the library of just about every major engineering school in the country, at least until Bell security agents (Dr. Johnny Fever's "phone cops") went in and physically cut out the offending pages.
Most of the "phone phreaks" were relatively harmless geeks who were fascinated by the phone system, and sought to understand how it operated primarily as an intellectual pursuit.
Some, however, saw it as a way to make a pile of money, and through them, the technology spread into the realm of organized crime, mainly bookies, who for a time were the biggest blue box users.
THANKS!!! I think what you are saying is that at 13nm you can put Windows 10 on phones and other devices (tablets) and have it function very well. Also 13nm eating up less juice.
Intel and Microsoft have been allied for decades. Its either cooperatively evolve this way or keep losing market share to snapdragons and the like
“FUD Packer” .....lol lol
That is very strange you should think that. Do you realize that the actual fact is that most Mac users are MORE knowledgeable about computers than Windows PC users because they are generally ex-Windows users, Expatriates from the Windows environment or still Windows users at work. . . who have CHOSEN to use Apple Macintosh and there for know BOTH platforms, while YOU only know one.
I, for example, have run a cross platform business and computer consulting business for the past 35 years. I know both platforms intimately. My Mac runs OS X.10 Yosemite and UNIX. Under OS X in virtual machines, I run THREE, count them 3, versions of Windows, Windows XP, 7, and 8.1. I also run two versions of LINUX. I have on occasion run ALL SEVEN OPERATING SYSTEMS SIMULTANEOUSLY! I also have installs of MS-DOS, THEOS, Amiga-OS, and several others that i can run under emulation if I so choose on my Mac. I keep them around so that I can run them if a client needs help in those more obscure systems. The more common OSes, I keep handy so that when a client calls with a problem, I can either quickly step them through the menus with the menus in front of me on the same system, or I can remote in using my Mac. You are like a mono-lingual speaker in a country that does to speak your language. Mac users can speak both languages. YOU can't.
You suffer from MAPS:
Swordmaker's and Kathy's proposed diagnosis for the new ICD-10 addenda:
90210 iOS Munchausen's Apple-Plexy Syndrome (MAPS), The overwhelming compulsion to post negative, judgmental, aggressive, and false commentary on any website thread related to Apple products wherever found, including phobic reaction to projected Apple user euphoria. First and subsequent encounters.
Did you really think you added anything constructive to this discussion by insulting every Apple Mac user on FreeRepublic?
They were teenagers. . . Did you do nothing wrong when you were a teen?
Yes, it is. . . you have quite an infestation of MAPS sufferers, don't you? It is amazing how frothing at the mouth they can get, isn't it?
You have no idea what it takes to build the largest company in the world, do you? Steve Jobs is credited by people who know with remaking no less than FIVE major industries. . . HE DID IT. No other CEO in history has been involved with remaking more than TWO. You denigrate his accomplishments with ignorance and your opinion. Your position is fully supported by your arrogant opinion. . . and your observation of an unauthorized movie. That's all. RIGHT.
No, I didn't. I suppose I was taught not to do such things.
What was it that he did? To Which five industries do you refer?
No other CEO in history has been involved with remaking more than TWO. You denigrate his accomplishments with ignorance and your opinion. Your position is fully supported by your arrogant opinion. . . and your observation of an unauthorized movie.
For Steve Wozniak I have respect. For Steve Jobs? I'm not seeing it. Whatever it was he did has not been presented very well. As near as I can tell he's like the Kardasians; Famous for being famous.
