apple.
benkay: mike_c: who buys
apple servers?!
mike_c: benkay: have you ever picked up an
apple server? it weighs 200 lbs for no good reason.
benkay: y'all
apple haters miss the part where they make the best laptop chassis in the world.
mircea_popescu: and re "executive"'s move to
apple : the point of sad fact is that actual executive power moved from the us to china in this interval. the ever swelling headcount of ever more powerless and pointless us based pseudo-executives have chosen to temporarily drown the realisation of their loss
mircea_popescu: Naphex: sorry i meant a severly limited computer which you can use too buy more
apple shit << exactly. in point of fact nobody actually wants an
apple anything.
mircea_popescu:
apple do know how to be cool and hip and things, or at least jobs managed to hit the nail on the head an ungodly long tim << that's it.
apple is now reduced to the position of rich old guy trying to buy the company of the hip young things in the hopes it'll attract the teenage pussy it's after.

Apple buy a cash buy?
bounce: though probably not exlusively to nor blamable on
apple Naphex: sorry i meant a severly limited computer which you can use too buy more

fluffypony: "
Apple does keep an older version of OpenSSL around that isn't vulnerable to the exploit. Safely chained to a wall. In the dungeon. It prods it with sticks now and again to make sure it's still breathing."
benkay:
apple's api's are more than happy to give you the raw bytes of the private key, but it seems they then forgot to build out the calls to import that key back into their play-pi.
benkay: client wants to do a thing with asymmetric crypto on the major mobile platforms, my guys are handling the ios side.
apple provides a handy dandy set of apis for generating keys (your second 4096 bit key on a bleeding edge iphone will take over a minute to gather 'adequate' 'entropy', btw).

Apple borrowing to raise its dividend and buybacks? | PandoDaily

apple's fault; I never should have bought an iPhone
mircea_popescu: decimation: re: amazon, I've heard it's a tough life working there << but it's a large corp. of course they'd be managing the fuck out of all cost, neh ? afaik google is pretty much the only giant still trying to play the startup, otherwise even
apple is bezos-ing it away.

Apple slice: Share split makes joining the Dow more likely
benkay: if i ever want to get off the iphone i have to get a new number, because my current number is cached in every iphone that's ever texted me and will go over
apple's servers no matter no matter.

apple, but also a winter morning orange.

apple or motorola to add a keyboard
Shakespeare: look at the hiring lockout thing between
apple/google etc
mike_c: 1) He made eve eat the
apple. 2) He knew who told eve she was nekked. 3) He had a conversation about it with her anyway, already knowing the answers, the outcome of the conversation, and everything that would happen before and after.
truffles: acutally eating that
apple was the beginning most likely
mircea_popescu: but this recent "can't eat an
apple with a spot" neurosis is not naturally occuring in human populations.
mike_c: keeping
apple alive prevented more DOJ attention at the time.
mircea_popescu: mike_c which kind-of explains WHY microsoft kept
apple alive.

apple' age if microsoft hadn't given them money to keep them alive.
