Yep, that totally sounds like Apple: coming out early before everyone when the technology is new and the market unproven and partnering up with everybody.

But I know uranus has the occasional gusher.

Android came out in 2008? How long should they keep going until they try to make money? 10 years? 15 years?

How can someone be sure that when the car is driving itself that it'll properly react to something that goes wrong? Let's say the system that follows the lane is fine but the system that is supposed to avoid sudden obstacles isn't. What can you do? How can you find out?

I love these ifnorant asses comparing an apple product that will be defunct in a year to Rolexes. The stupid is very very stron in the onse that love to blow Jobs.

*cough*

And the real kick in the ass is that apple will immediately slash prices 80% once an android competitor comes out

Yep, that totally sounds like Apple.

I've been eating diaper liners for YEARS and I still haven't gotten any smarter.

Let's face it. Apple, known to all as a true innovator, is being taken over with stagnation. Once again, without Steve Jobs as a strong leader, it has rested on its laurels to let competitors overtake it. Google, which was lagging behind in important international emoji support in Chrome, was able to finally catch up to Apple, but only because of the latter's sitting on its hands. To Apple's fans, it's another slap in the face of lagging behind. Look, Google is now the true leader in emoji support and most analysis expect Apple to continue its downward slide towards oblivion. Expect Apple stock do drop by 50% over the next few days.

Y'en a pas su'l store right now. Tchequn devrion faire une. Ca halerait right bocoup de piasses pour se greiller des bounes hardes.

I can always trust comments on slashdot objectively evaluate tech without an personal slant.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

That's right on the money. All that was stopping millions (and millions!) from going to Apple was a customizable keyboard. And Apple's lost them forever, because of the Android store lock-in.

But seriously, I'd say the keyboard providers will make more money on iOS now than on Android.

Apple is doomed.

You really think they'd announce new Macs at an iPhone event?

A couple of iPhone cables, iTunes gift cards, iPod socks. Pretty soon it adds up.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, at your use of puns.
