WACOM you say? Yes they do them for iOS.

And there are several other companies that also do pressure sensitive styluses for iOS.

People that believe in Apple's reality distortion field are the kind of people that fall for perpetual motion machines.

If Apple didn't actually deliver devices that people love, they wouldn't be able to continue to be the most popular brand of smartphones whilst charging a significant premium.

The so called RDF Is a simply a trustworthy brand. A brand is a promise of quality, and even though they aren't perfect, they do deliver better quality than any other manufacturer. They deliver on their promise. They beat all other companies in customer satisfaction surveys year in year out.

Of course that will change by the time it's a production car, thanks to how pagerank works.

You need to grow up. A car is to transport you from A to B. If you do a lot of driving then things like power, interior comfort and equipment become important. But exterior looks? You can't even see it when you're driving. You only see it for the few seconds when you're walking towards it to get in.

If you're buying for the looks, you're buying it to show off, because you have an inferiority complex. And a small dick.

If you mean the Commodore PET, then the Apple II beat that by a few months, and indeed Apple does pretty much dominate the market now.

Maybe you mean the VIC-20, but then that's picking an arbitrary definition of "inexpensive". The Atari 400 for example was cheap and earlier, though not quite as cheap as the VIC-20.

Anyhow, that's a bit by the by as Atari isn't in business any more either. Other than Apple very few computer manufacturers from that era do still exist.

If the analogy was a predictor (and they never are) the future would be very bright for Tesla. They are the Apple equivalent - first to market with a worthy product, albeit an expensive one.

Talking of which, the EV market will become really interesting when Apple release their car in a few years time.

Android has pressure sensitive styluses. Which have also been available for iOS for years. This is Force Touch, which as it's name implies is about measuring the force of finger touches. Android doesn't have it.

Oh shut the fuck up you tiresome prick.

Pretty much. And it's a good system. Why stop people who are too poor to pay from travelling? If someone is desperate enough to leap the barrier, let them.

And Chatalet is just an outdoor square, with roads leading off in all directions. You can't police it like a real enclosed bus station. I've been there many times at all times of night and never felt threatened. Females would be. But so would they be in any major city centre late at night.

You don't have to work for Uber to support app-controlled taxis.

No choice? What about Lyft and other app controlled taxi firms? Ideally a driver ought to be able to have multiple phones with the different apps on, thus accepting ride offers from whoever is the best option at the time.

True. But we're more likely to refer to the ground control staff as men with table-tennis bats.

Requiring a modified version is not banning the game.

And finding a substitute for an emblem isn't a problem, it's been done many times for the nazi swastica.

This is slashdot. If Apple gave everyone in the would an ice-cream, people here would find some reason to hate them for it.

Only if they were cooperating rather than competing, Which is certainly not the case with Google and Apple.

If you don't think a flag means more than a piece of cloth, you don't understand flags. Dead US Soldiers don't get their coffins draped with a piece of polkadot material.

I can't think of any negative to Google not listing stormfront. They already exclude child-porn so it's a reasonable step.
