    The Trumpiest thing I've seen in a while. I wonder if it's real.

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                That sucks. Misstep for Apple to be making those noises IMO.

                In an unrelated note, Sam Harris’ Twitter account seems to be gone. Maybe just a glitch. He’s been asking “tough questions” similar to the Milo question.

                  Apple hates App Developers

                  Really Hates them

                  I have no idea why, the developers make them a fortune.

                      That’s not the reason. He just didn’t like the way Twitter and its negativity was affecting his perception of people.

                          In which he admits his disgust reflex overwhelms his reason, even as he understands rationally that it shouldn't. That's how I've always described the psychologies of TDS sufferers, as Sam is. I guess it's inevitable that humans will respect their own disgust reflex, rather than question it. It's our "full stop" emotion.

                              Good news. I figured Mr Cook was more pragmatic than how that threat about the Twitter app made him sound.

                                  I would think that Twitter would have more to lose than Apple if the two got into a fight

                                      Depends on what app developers are willing to do to other app developers that don’t feel the same as them…

                                      Labor unions gained power because they kicked the shit out of laborers that wouldn’t join them. Do you think App developers will do the same.

                                          @Axtremus it’s a pretty basic website - the customer facing experience won’t change much even if the ops teams get cut back even more.
