Apple has patented some tech that will allow you to skip commercials entirely. 8O I imagine in the broadcasting stream there’s some kind of digital code that denotes a commercial break, Apple’s tech says “fuck that”, and then jumps instantly to the code that denotes a return to the show.

I’m sure this is being well received by the TV industry they are currently trying to negotiate with. :x

Apple's just going through the motions with the Networks at the moment. Playing the game. Yawning between ABC's pronouncements that "WE WILL NEVER AGREE TO THAT!".

At some point soon, Apple's just going to say "Okay, Fuck it. I'm done." Then they're going to simply buy all the networks outright via a hostile take over ala' Gordan Gecko Old School Style.

They are, after all, the richest company on the planet.

And every Android commercial will be overdubbed with this.

Fuck. My left earphone speaker just died. Do I have to pony up £35+shipping for a new pair of MDR XB20EX, or does anyone have any alternatives that might be better? I really loved these headphones. They've followed me for many years :(

Brb getting all emotional.

:x :( :x :(

:x

Edit: Okay, so there's a new model for only £9. That's not so terrible. I might be able to overcome my emotional distress.

Should I pick black or white? Or maybe even silver?

Apple not releasing a television anytime soon.

In summary Apple doesn't get involved in anything it can't vastly improve and wipe it's ass with the competition.

Um, Samsung lost the lawsuit and has to kick Apple $1,000,000,000. 8O

I rounded it. It's a little more than 1B. 8O

8O

Why'd he pick the worst possible examples? And how can the iPad be "too heavy for reading" when these big ass books are EVERYWHERE

Just how does he read? With arms stretched for 5 hours in a row?

This is terrible. :x
