This has to be the shittiest WWDC keynote yet.
The watch is stupid. I know one person that has one, and they regret it. I guess that part where if you're dying, they'll know your medical history is cool. But, for all the fitness crap, just get a way less expensive fitbit...like everybody else. Plus, no one wants this shit if you still need your phone! Call me when it's a hologram thing.
macOS mountain range...whoopty doo! Just what no one wants: Siri on your Mac. OSX (or whatever it is now) is my favorite OS, no question. But, they could have probably just left it out of the presentation.
ios 10 - Now almost as good as Android M 6.0. "Look Mom you can change all the chat bull crap like you could on Android for years now". Oh stickers too. Holy fuck. So much innovation. I thought they would talk about some project tango type of stuff.
I'm an Apple fanboy since OS9. I had an iphone since version 1 until earlier this year when I got an Android phone. I gotta say, the hype is going...fast. Especially on the mobile front. There are phones that are less than half the cost of an iphone, and every bit as good. And Android is better than ios with this latest release. I realize that's my opinion, but it's nicer than I thought it would be.

- norant all true.
after sucking with all the dumb iphones I love my s7edge, and this keynote just strengthens that innovation at Apple is deadsted - Yeah, it was pretty lousy. I no longer use any Apple kit and seeing what they presented was hugely underwhelming - doesn't make me want to return.face_melter

I switched to Android 8 months ago and I would not go back to iOS.
I switched to Windows a few years ago and I would not go back to OSX.

- Thanks, it does sound goodprophetone
- Haha you crazyprophetone

- Always been Android - wouldn't touch iPhone but couldn't do Windows. Used to use both but nope - computers are all macs now.fadein11
- Android absolutely blows iOS out of the water now, but as fadein said, OSX still wipes it's arse with Windows.********
- windows 10 is trash********
- stock android is my mobile os of choice********
- the prob with windows phone is the marketplace is totally neglected, so that kinda kills the whole usefulness of one vs others.prophetone
- the problem with windows phone is that nobody bought into it and they killed it completely, actuallymonospaced
- Same thing...********

another apple event, another round of bitching. so it has been for decades.
- yup that happens, the difference is that at the recent event they announced a lot of useless and questionable services.sted
- and it's interesting how they try chain to themselves the next generation through swiftsted
- Anything worthwhile? Or just the same old lack of innovation from Apple?utopian
- microsoft buys linkedin + apple has nothing new to say = innovation is a thing of the past.hans_glib

macOS Sierra wallpaper
Alpenglow from the rising sun illuminates the peaks above North Lake located at 9300 feet in the eastern Sierra above Bishop, California, USA
Original photo By Don Smith
I awaited the first light of sunrise to paint the ridges of Lone Pine Peak located in the Alabama Hills just west of Lone Pine, California. The pattern of these ridge lines were there, they were just made evident by the play of alpenglow light and shadow.
- Now that I look at it, the scale of the clouds appears wrong against the scale of the peaks. Also, would there be clouds like that at that height? Just curious.face_melter

So I bought an imac about 14 months ago. The middle range one. It was not fucking cheap. Its been updated and everything. Cant anyone explain to me why this fucking piece of shit is slower than my damn iphone?
I feel like an battered wife that cant leave her abusive husband. Apple makes garbage products, but I keep buying them because Im so used to it.
- oh, and inb4 cunty apple apologists. their computers are hot garbage.CygnusZero4
- Slower than your "damn iphone" at what, exactly?monospaced
- at EVERYTHING. its slow as a fucking turd at even just simple shit like using safari or chrome with nothing else running.CygnusZero4
- oh, and inb4 you call me names, I didn't downvote youmonospaced
- at posting on qbn.ben_
- weird, chrome and safari run as fast as any machine I've ever seen on this here 2012 iMac without an SSDmonospaced
- ermahgerd downvotes just.... hurt. lolzCygnusZero4
- i hate this thing. how much can i get for a piece of junk 14 month old imac?CygnusZero4
- im getting a big ass beefy pc laptop that is going to blaze and never buying a mac computer again.CygnusZero4
- good, then you can end your 8 year cycle of buying apple products for the sole purpose of failing at using them and complaining on qbn :)monospaced
- lolz failing at using. $1500, it should work well. apple apologists! company is fucking trash since steve died.CygnusZero4
- Sorry yours doesn't work well, but all the ones we use work perfectly fine. So many of your issues seem unique to you. Sorry.monospaced
- The cool thing is you can probably sell that "junky" 14 month old mac for 75-80% of what you paid for it. Used Macs are the most overvalued of all tech.nb
- ^ I know what you mean, mine was tricked out with an SSD and extra ram yet still felt woolly and sluggish, Photoshop ran like mud even with small files.face_melter
- And that was after a couple of wipes/installs and even using nvidia's beta gfx drivers rather than Apple's stock update drivers.face_melter
- every iMac I have used has been superb, yes a little hot and older one's hard drives die etc... but just standard computer issues. One machine I would continuefadein11

- have you checked activity monitor? maybe some app is bogging you down. clean install with only the essentials is a good test, then add apps one at a timeakiersky
- also how much disk space do you have? the 10% free rule still applies in my experienceakiersky
- ^ 10% free is not enough. especially is you're dealing with large files or videoGnash
- Apple products are seriously overpriced quickly deteriorating pieces of shit.srhadden
- What did you expect from Apple? Their cheap shit is made in China by children slaves!utopian
- Definitely unusual. Could be logic board failure, which should be warranty repair. Or you have 3rd party crapware mucking something up.evilpeacock
- Sounds like bad maintenance. El Capitan also caused performance issues. Lol utopian. Always the first to throw nonsense pooHayoth
- utopian just fancies himself a professional apple h8r™ at times :)monospaced

Apple plays catchup with...everyone
• Photos, but like Google Photos
• Siri, but like Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant
• Messages, but like What'sApp, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger
• Voicemail, but like Google VoiceInnovation Never Sleeps!
- if they cant innovate at least they should be up to date********
- Sad because they kinda started it all too.monospaced

Is it just me or are they seriously jeopardizing their image? Beats was bad enough, then Swift, and now Jay Z?
I get the logic for a desperate, lower quality company focused on Hollywood/trendy stuff, but Apple?!
Can't wait for the Swift/Beyonce branded shiny toys! Yikes.
- all the niggaz that tried to shy away from apple music now is working for apple again********
- this isn't about working with JayZ or image, it's about killing his failing business by eating what's left of it alivemonospaced
- if that's the case they would let it fail and not have to buy it out. no?hotroddy
- I think it is about image - if they buy it, they get Beyonce/JayZ/Kanye, etc. They clearly want pop culture (or whatever)formed
- Otherwise, why bother? It's not real competition, but they do have "exclusive" crap (crap is the right word, too)formed
- They should have bought Pandora or Spotify, they'd control everything now.formed
- only a few months back it was Samsung buying them out... ? better get that dirt off your shoulder cuz it's a hard knock lifePonyBoy
- Who gives a fuck - they are dropping the headphone jack! Riot!!!inteliboy
- Also if Samsung owned Tidal - they'd spend billionssss on advertising and end up owning the market. Throw money at shit seems to be enough these days.inteliboy
- Innovation Never Sleeps!utopian
- They are slowly drifting towards being a content-delivery company instead of an out-and-out tech company. More money nickle and diming people.face_melter
- Well since this is pure rumor it's hard to say what it would mean.monospaced
- Swift? Their programming language? That's the best thing they've done since the launch of the iPhone.section_014
- Yep what's wrong with Swift? All I hear is great things about it.fadein11

I just saw one of these in person and they looked pretty good. Matching the thin look and feel of the MacBooks with a price tag of $1000 vs $1600 for a comparable MacBook.
https://www.asus.com/us/Notebook…It seems pretty difficult to justify the additional $600 for all the built in apps like Photos, iMovie, GarageBand, etc... I love Macs, but Apple has got to start swinging progressive deals our way.
- mac laptops are fucking way out dated. been waiting on the new MBP for at least a year now. Though I could never go Windows... ugh. So the wait continues...inteliboy
- Check out the Dell XPS 15". Footprint of a 13.3-14" laptop. Cheaper than MBP and can take up to 32gb ram.microkorg
- Those are nice. The XPS is pretty nice too (the screen is incredible). You can fit 32gb in teh XPS? Website only shows 16gbformed
- sees Asus logo, sicks in mouth.fadein11
- ^ pays for the logo********
- This looks nice, but it's running windows. I couldn't give a fuck about the brand but I think the extra cash just to run OSX is almost justified, sadly.********
- Yeah, I love OSX. I really wouldn't want to go back to Windows. I liked XP SP2 I had in college — but I've heard it's just gotten worse since then.rosem
- I work on both, no fucking difference. It's like any tool, if you know how to use it then it'll get the job done.zarkonite

Apple refuse to unlock a phone for the Feds but happily give up personal details which leads to the arrest of the (alleged) dude who runs Kickass Torrents.

Civil liberties, yo! My fucking arse.
- Handing over ip addresses for iTunes purchases is COMPLETELY different from unlocking a secure phone.monospaced
