          Just being annoyed by apple, same as every day. Digging the nonsensical black guy memes though.

                "iOS 11 annoyances" - you mean beyond the mere existence of a company like Apple? Because those smarmy, turtleneck wearing douches are really the main annoyance,

                Actually, I'm come to no longer feel this way.

                followed closely by their fangirls.

                This is the real root of the apple problem in my eyes.

                Was Steve Jobs a dick? Sure sounds like it - but was he right - technology needs to work and be super f'ing simple? Hell yes it does. Has MS learned this lesson? sadly - no. 😞

                Actually he proved the opposite. Steve Jobs didn't make tech simple. He claimed it was simple and proved that if you keep repeating a lie people believe it no matter how obvious it is. Ever used a Mac? It's not bad, but it certainly isn't magically simple. Jobs proved that marketing means more than making good products.

                  Nope, never used a Mac.. but the iphone is pretty rock solid...

                  How much of the Mac suffers from his being away from the company for a while?

                    None from what I can tell. If anything it is improving. He really wasn't all that influential on design. It's not like he did any of it.

                      I find the WiFi and Bluetooth not turning off from the control panel (just disconnecting) irritating.
                      I have nothing that I want connected in the background AFTER I turn the $radio off.

                      Surely (Shore + Ly... no Shirley here... 😛 ), there's some kind of logic check that can be applied.

                      • Watch registered = disconnect
                      • No Watch registered = disable/turn off

                      Then again Apple is most often fashionably late to the features party. I guess like multitasking, very, early on (leaving the alarm app open for it to go off... no background tasks), we'll have to put up with this for a while.

                          I love this feature. If my home internet is slow I can disconnect with the push of a button, then when I get to work it automatically connects to the wifi there. I don't have to try to remember to turn it back on, it just connects.

                          I guess if you have a more advanced configuration, like VPN or something, this might be a nuisance. How hard would it really be for them to just give us the option of what the button does though?

                            They should make it a toggle button. Tap once = disconnect. Tap again = Turn off. Tap again = Turn on.

                                And they can provides those options using 3D touch too.

                                  This is the real root of the apple problem in my eyes.

                                  Was Steve Jobs a dick? Sure sounds like it - but was he right - technology needs to work and be super f'ing simple? Hell yes it does. Has MS learned this lesson? sadly - no. 😞

                                  Yes, tech should be effing simple, but not a closed, exclusionary ecosystem designed to appeal to celebrities and people with 6 figures worth of piss-away income. So I say f@ck Steve Jobs and f@ck the apple fangirl hordes. Douchery all around. Apple people are like vegans... they won't shut up about it. And their platform of choice actually does less, but they aren't knowledgeable enough to understand the difference.

                                  Well, as we've seen, you can't have simple in an open environment because the players don't follow the rules closely enough. Only through closed ecosystem has Apple been able to ensure consistency. Now that's not to say they don't have their problems - I'm sure they do. As only a very recent user of an iPhone (and a super lite user at that, only like 10 apps on the phone other than default) I can't speak from personal experience on how consistent things are throughout their ecosystem.

                                  Conversely, I can talk quite knowledgeably about the Windows ecosystem and how fragmented it is (and Android is as well). It's not uncommon for things to not work together, even though they use the same spec for something. Is it better today than 10 years ago, sure, still no where near perfect.

                                  Then we toss on top of the pile the almighty greed. Companies don't want to make compatible products most of the time because that means they truly have to compete to get you to buy their product versus the competitions. Locking you in is the easiest way to ensure you keep buying their brand and not someone else's.

                                      But really, you can't blame companies for this - that's their goal - and while I did use the term greed - I really shouldn't have, because it's not greed - there is no intention to do something illegal to get ahead (at least not that we know of) - it's pure capitalism.

                                        @dashrender I can and will dislike and blame companies for putting profits above people. At a certain point, giant companies have social responsibility. Pure, textbook capitalism IS greed in its purest form, and if you think companies didn't intend to do illegal stuff to get that profit, you're naive.

                                          So why are you only despising Apple? Other companies are exactly the same way.

                                            When talking in general, we have to assume things are being done correctly, legally. If you want to bring up a specific company, I'll be more than happy to talk about any illicit things that specific company has done and why they suck!

                                            As for profits above people - again, capitalism. If the textbook company is a public company (I have no idea if they are or not) they have a legal obligation to make as much money as they can to their shareholders, so I don't agree with your premise of profits over people.
