With the length of Apple design and developement cycle, I’ve got to wonder that jony has been out of the main design workflow for a long while now, with the replacements already in place and running everything and he’s been more of a figurehead
Majikman
16:50:06
Maybe he’s gonna be on the far out stuff, iBracelt, iGlass, iImplant

When Apple was run but the two Steves, Woz was the creator and Jobs was the editor. Apple is missing that at the moment, with Cook being a manager

Heartless tag line on the ad “Grandparents aren’t just for Xmas, but might be this year!” :D

Its based on the film UP! where i believe the Granddad didn't die

The trouble with social networks is those of us who care or pay attention about our privacy on these platforms probably only amount to about 5-10% of the user base
DeepPan
20:49:58
Pay upfront of a social network, with no idea of content? :D
BenGillam
20:50:03
And the other 90% it was hard enough to get onto the platform in the first place so getting them to move will be hard

because your 5% are acutslly only .05% :P
DeepPan
20:52:58
Here’s a question for you. If Facebook had a subscription version, which was ad free and “secure”, how much would the average person (not us) be willing to pay? I’m guessing they wouldn’t pay at all.
BenGillam
20:53:51
DeepPan: when it was new maybe it could have done it, 12 years of being free first then charging it wouldn’t fly
BenGillam
20:54:35
That said I might pay, but only if I had more control. Like seeing everyone I follow and I chronological order not some random order it wants
