That's pretty much thread over right there. Again, you can complain and scrunch your eyes up and wish real hard, but you're trying to twist facts to suit your argument. Remember, this started with you saying that "any standard that doesn't include Linux is not a standard" in a laughably arrogant and stupid statement, and now you're trying to claim Unix for your own to support your silly statement.

UNIX is literally a brand. Like I said, you can't just wish really hard that it's not. It is a registered trademark of the Open Group.

You can disagree as much as you like, but it doesn't alter actual, verifiable facts.

It is - they bought a UNIX licence back in the NeXT days I believe.

OS X is POSIX compliant and ostensibly the core pieces of NeXT.

Just because you wish it really hard doesn't make it so.

Like it or not, "UNIX" has a specific meaning, both in terms of branding and adhering to a defined standard. You can't just decide to claim that standard as your own even if you don't meet it.

"Any standard that excludes Linux is not a standard" is just an absurdly arrogant and silly thing to say.

Since you're totally ok with claiming that the Open Group no longer gets to define what UNIX is because you say so, I'll also take claim of what GNU means, since any standard that excludes Apple and Microsoft is not a standard. OS X and Windows will now be called GNU/OS X and GNU Windows. Seems fair to me.

Now there's a can of worms. I think the question "Is Linux really Unix?" is a guaranteed heat-generator.

It means they will sue defensively if necessary.

In other words, if they trade patents on a design and Tesla is all open and friendly, but $EVIL-CAR-COMPANY plays along at first then sues Tesla for using some patented tech then Tesla can fight back.

The map only shows supercharger stations, and not the more regular (and already more numerate) EV charging stations.

One of the goals of this opening up is to try and encourage other manufacturers to also build supercharger stations so they spread more quickly.

As the statement says right now - Tesla is small and sells only a small number of vehicles, relatively, so expecting them to blanket the entire US in supercharger stations - especially in areas where market research has likely told them they will not sell many Model S's - is somewhat unreasonable at this stage. These are the "sweeten the deal" parts of the car - free, rapid charging. The more readily available EV charging (that you have to pay for) is still there, and also growing rapidly.

You should read the whole statement on the website. It's much clearer than the small, random part of it quoted in the slashdot summary.

Log in, then maybe someone will provide some.

Otherwise, why bother?

Dear Halster,

Whoooooooooooooooooooooosh.

Kind regards,

Apple.

(I assume you watched the video?)

Actually, he was telling a joke.

That you didn't get the joke?

You should probably watch the section of the video.

It's being presented as a serious statement of fact, but it was an extremely flippant and obvious joke.

Still, it serves as a great way to enrage the apple haters though.

It was a joke. It was really obviously not serious.

The frothing over this is hilarious.

It wasn't a statement, it was a very flippant joke. His tongue was so far into his cheek that he practically had a speech impediment.

Have you actually seen the video?

He was clearly not serious, and the keynote is the one time that Apple "lets go" a bit and responds to the flak it faces all the time, and even then it's pretty softball stuff.

They had a couple of digs at the concept that Apple users are all sheep, and a quick one about malware, and one about the fact that only a minority of Android users are on the latest version.

The reaction of the press and Android fans seems to have been to take everything Tim Cook said as if he was deadly serious. I'd say "they missed the joke" but it seems like they're wilfully missing it in order to bash Apple some more, so I guess it's a day with a Y in it.

It's hilarious to see just how butthurt the Andoid faithful get over a flippant comment in the keynote.

Cook's comments were a clear and obvious joke, framed in the context of the change in Apple's user base. It's no different to any of the jokes told around here about Apple or its users. He was clearly not serious. The keynote also featured a video message schtick of a bad hair day being corrected with a hedge trimmer - are we meant to take that totally seriously too?

Apple and its users get a seriously large amount of vitriol thrown at them on a day to day basis, so they throw in a few jokes about people buying Android phones "by mistake!" and the Apple haters start frothing.

So, just to be clear on this - you think that any one who uses an Apple product is delusional? That is your suggestion, yes?
