So, uh, it sounds like Apple is ditching the Lightning connector for USB-C on the iPHone 8. :eek:

I didn't see that coming.

And it's apparently going to have an option for a curved OLED screen on the high-end model made by Samsung. :eek: :eek:


My $0.02: I hate curved screens. I hate everything about them.

I guess they think they're strong enough now not to have to imprison their install base.

By that logic, Microsoft should be introducing a proprietary power connector soon. ;)

Not at all surprising. Their upper management is a joke ever since Jobs kicked the bucket. No innovation or vision at all, just happy to collect profits from hipster d-bags, and Boomers who think Android is too difficult to figure out.
 
Re: Completely Unwoven: Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 4.0

I dunno. Moving away from proprietary and having a competitor (the competitor) make your screens take some serious balls even if it's not innovative.
 
Re: Completely Unwoven: Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 4.0

That takes balls when it comes to the largest company on earth. Whether you acknowledge it or not.

With the large MN contingent on this site, Target Stores news is always welcome, I'm sure.

Target to launch new brands, lower prices after quarterly results disappoint

For the upcoming year, Target said it expects a low single-digit decline in comparable sales. Its shares plunged 13 percent.

Interwebs. 8% of total sales are ecommerce and that falls squarely into Targets demo. Years ago, these companies needed to take over some of the top online players. Its probably too late for that strategy. Now they need to rely on suppliers to help differentiate themselves.

Start announcing you'll allow "transsexual" pedophiles into any bathroom or fitting room, your profits SHOULD go down. Just like when you announced you're a "gun-free zone".

When did Target announce that it was welcoming pedophiles? Oh, that's right, Target Stores have never once said that they're trying to corner the pedophile market.

Target's policy towards transsexuals is the same as every other national chains' policies, only Target had the integrity to simply state it publicly.

Anyone with half a brain can put two and two together. I will tip my hat towards honesty, though. Something that's quite few and far between in the business world.

So help out the quarter-brained fool, what two and two are you putting together here, is it that transsexual people have a higher rate of committing sexual assaults in public restrooms?

I believe you're trying to apply the same logical fallacy that applies when it comes to shootings that happen in gun-free zones. By saying any gender can use any bathroom, you lose one "security level" in trying to prevent heterosexual pedophilia.

I'm asking a genuine question. What are the two and two I'm supposed to put together?

When a statement like that is made, although you may be trying to apply it towards transsexuals, what you're really saying is "anyone can use any bathroom", something which a number of people are obviously not tolerable of, whether it applies to only non-transsexuals or is orientation-blind, especially when it comes to younger family members, which is something we can both agree is the case. The first "security measure" is making sure the correct gender is there. Once you take that away, things become less safe.

Obviously, the only way to truly take steps towards prevention are "single-stall" water closet rooms, regardless of gender or orientation. Considering it costs too much in terms of both space and accouterments, what's the next best thing?

So what do you say to the states that have put in place transsexual/transgender bathroom laws to permit people to use the bathroom for which they identify currently? Inquiries have been made to the various states' law enforcement agencies, and they've all said that there have been no reported incidences that a transX person has committed any such violation against another person. No violence against these transX people have been reported within restrooms, as well.

Safety concerns appear to be completely moot in those states that have enacted the permissive laws.

If a state wants to choose one way or the other, that's their prerogative, as per the 10th amendment. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it, or that I want "Aunt Flo" on the toilet...

Agreed. And the states that choose against it are acting out of baseless fear against those who live lives differently than the normals. The trans people do as much as they can to draw as little attention to themselves as possible because they are targets, as proved recently in New Orleans with the two trans-women killed.

If anybody's going to abuse these laws, it's the people who already do perverted things to get off, like those who hide cameras in air vent covers of bathrooms.

They already released a MacBook that was all USB-C. It makes sense for them to go all in.

They've been buying components from Samsung while suing them over patent infringement at the same time.
 
Re: Completely Unwoven: Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 4.0

I've used unisex bathrooms What's the big deal? I know of one in Quebec City that's been around for like 15+ years (two stalls plus two urinals, and a couple sinks).
