Tim Cook is an idiot.

Apple went to shit the last time Jobs left. I see no reason why that won't be true again.

Yeah, that's exclusive to women.

Wow. This is pr that's supposed to appeal to women? Yeesh.

Works from my phone. In short, iPhone 7 is dropping the standard small headphone jack for the cult-based lightning connection to cut off 1mm of thickness from the hardware.

In Firefox on my PC it takes me to a Forbes Welcome screen that doesn't load.

On my phone it took me to the Forbes main page where I did find the story, but had to hunt for it.

Unreal. Fucking works for mobiles but not real PCs.

If you copy the link location from r-click, then paste that into the nav bar, then wait for an obnoxious welcome screen, it'll take you. How fucking stupid.

Tim Cook: whoa, you expect us to pay taxes?
When interviewer Charlie Rose asks Cook about allegations from some quarters that Apple avoids paying its fair share of corporate taxes on $74 billion in revenues held overseas, the usually reserved executive gets testy, calling the tax talk "total political crap."

Posting this from the new Mac Pro I got us for Xmas. Still don't get the appeal yet, but it's pretty user friendly and quick.
Got it as our new shared laptop when the wife has to give all her work electronics up.

Digging the PyCharm IDE for Python on it too.

for x in range(1,11):
print("hip")
print("hop")
for y in range(1,2):
print("hippopotamus")
print("my rhymes are bottomless")

You've got a typo in there.

print("Hiphopopotamus")

Pycharm was the one that was recommended. Should I use IDLE?

IDEs are theoretically equivalent. You should find the one that's right for you, but there's pretty much always more than one.
