  • From a financial standpoint i would never bet against them, but personally i haven’t liked the direction they’ve gone since Jobs died. But I’m obviously in the minority, because they’ve sold gabillions under Cook, including brand new product categories like the watch, airpods, and apple music. IMO none of those are particularly special, but whether it’s Apple’s marketing machine or something i dunno, but the fact is those are all new product categories and they’ve all sold very well.




  • It would be super useful.

    When you want to draw something you go to tablet mode and use the pencil. - When the drawing you made needs some editing that iPad software can’t do then you switch to mac os mode and finalize the drawing.

    Do some programming in mac mode because programming on ipad is extremely limited. - Then when you’re done coding you switch to tablet mode and relax with some touch based jigsaw puzzle games.

    When you have to use the windows-only programs that work mandates you have to use then you go to mac mode with attached keyboard and run it through parallels. - Then that evening you switch to tablet mode and chill in bed reading a comic book.

    Etc etc etc.

    All the things that are better done on a mac, and all the things that are better done on an iPad, they all have no reason for existing on separate hardware









  • IANAL but if you don’t object you still can’t ask for a mistrial unless you argue that the defense given by the lawyers was literally incompetent, and I’m far from an expert but i think that’s a pretty hard bar to reach. Especially if pre-trial they would put that lawyer on the stand and ask why they didn’t object during the testimony but only complained after the testimony, and i can’t imagine any valid argument that would be accepted by a court.

    Bottom line, I’m not an expert at all, but if they purposely didn’t object so that they could ask for a mistrial, I’m pretty sure that won’t work at all



  • (Not an insult) i assume you’re autistic or have some autistic traits, so maybe people in the autism forums could help too.

    Generally you can look at anything and everything you want to look at, but just don’t do it for more than a few seconds in a row.

    Like for example if there’s two of you at a table and you’re having a conservation then it would go something like this. look in you tablemate’s eyes for 3-5 seconds, then look at your plate for a few seconds while you’re using your utensils on your food, then look in your tablemate’s eyes for another 3-5 seconds, then look at the wall decor for a few seconds, then back at your tablemate’s eyes for a few seconds, then back on your plate to look at what you’re eating for a few seconds, then back to your tablemate’s eyes again for a few seconds. Now that i talk it out, i think it’s right for about every other look to be at your tablemate’s eyes.

    Basically it’s the same as any situation where you’re having a conversation with someone. Look at their eyes for a few seconds, then look at something else for a couple seconds, then look back at their eyes again for a few seconds.
