Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

they've done it before during press conferences, but im not sure why. maybe it "clears the air" of people who follow them so they only see new tweets about new stuff instead of a backlog of old stuff if they haven't checked the timeline lately?

Maybe their "no banks here" tweet was getting ratio'd or something?

Apple does some weird thing where they only use promoted tweets or something. It’s always been like that. Brands gotta brand.

i think when they release it it wont be in the context of a press conference where the time delay would seem like corncobbing

airpower will be released very quietly with the next iphone and they'll pretend as if it was meant to be that way

idk about airpods but the wired earpods sound fine, especially judged on the curve of free pack-in headphones

I saw a headline mentioning I could get the Wall Street Journal for :10bux: and was like wow what a smokin' deal then because it was ~tech news~ I found a real news site to list some of the offerings and that's apparently just "selected content" so probably dumb poo poo that no one wants to read

because apple's superior marzipan based app technology will ensure you experience content as the creators intended

apple has ensured there's no bad words or sexual content so you won't need to check commonsensemedia.org before you stream something

yea Netflix is 1 part Sharknado-level movies with similar names to popular titles

1 part original series that get cancelled after 3 seasons

and Friends episodes at the cost of $100 million a year

who the gently caress is going to pay for this, and why wasn’t it announced the day it went live? why should anyone care about original content on a streaming service that is yet to prove itself. it took years for Netflix to slowly build a reputation for their original content.

this is going to be a ping level of failure except it will have cost them hundreds of millions of dollars.

in my humble opinion Spielberg, Abrams, Oprah and Big Bird have proved themselves. and Apple's has successfully launched similar services like iTunes and  Music. I mean what better combination of company track record and Hollywood talent could there be?

however I gotta say Apple News and News+ are garbage. you can search for like "people's socialist voice" or "playboy" and the top search result is like the New York times and the Good Housekeeping

quote:

Footnote 4 on the Apple Card web page says: “Variable APRs range from 13.24% to 24.24% based on creditworthiness. Rates as of March 2019.” What a crock of poo poo this “low interest rates” line is. Those interest rates are usury, right in line with the rest of the credit card industry. 24% interest ought to be criminal, and 13% is not “low”.
