The mainstream audience was young and open to new ideas. Folks could create new things that impacted the culture at large and in that way punch above their weight class. In NYC, people could create art movements that would live for the next 50 years. Sort of like the way kids could create new technology in a garage in Silicon Valley in the 70s, or a dorm room in the 00s. It was a time in culture where the doors were open and you could have profound impact. The doors closed again, so people look back and have an appreciation for what was possible and what became and perhaps long for it again.
I took a first date to Synecdoche, New York and we didn't have a second (good film though).
Some people want to create. Some people want to consume. Some people want to collect. Sometimes consumables become collectible (Baseball cards). Sometimes collectibles become consumable (Mona Lisa postcards). Creators are allowed to decide who their market is and adjust as they see fit.
It sounded like they were willing to remove the mods and let the forums pick new ones
Imagine if billionaires had the same _effective_ tax rate we do. That would be helpful enough.

It'd be pretty novel and refreshing if Apple competed for developer buy-in for payments on features and functionality.
Seems like the unspoken story here isn't really about Apple, it's that the govts of the world want access to your phone data and its backups. They're already getting some of it from exploits, telcos and the cloud. They'll be back and will keep coming and it's hard to imagine any company will have the ability to stand up to them without seriously impacting their business.
Your handle and comment complement one another.
Am I nuts, or is the heart of this issue really the fact that our healthcare system is built on tying benefits to full time jobs?
Apple has an abusive relationship with developers. I bet this harkens back to Jobs being pissed about jailbreaking and having to open up the platform. I think the culture still reflects that basic misunderstanding at the company. It's ironic, because it's the apps and developers that made the iPhone what it is - case in point, "There's an app for that," which they actually went and trademarked.

Given our propensity for war and genocide, I wonder if humans just killed off all the other near species?

If Apple's going to be a services company now, wouldn't it be great if they kept themselves honest (and their products great) by honoring a level playing field for the services they compete with e.g. Spotify? Imagine if services like iCloud, Pages and Mail were comparable to or better than the existing product landscape? Apple's been holding themselves to too low a standard for too long. Maps was a wakeup call for them, it'd be cool if they lit a fire like that across the board for their products.

At this point, maybe just delete your Facebook account?
