I think we both, David, you and me, have been on Usenet for decades, and we're both well trained in technical topics where we prove our facts. I have watched for about two decades or so, the Apple-versus-adults arguments, where it always amazed me that the Apple users unilaterally are the ones acting like children act. I pondered for years why this would be so repeatable. I don't claim to have the answer - but I do have a hypothesis. The Apple user is *drawn* to the Apple product, which Apple Marketing *differentiates* by selling the Apple user on a few promises. 1. Ease of use 2. Safety 3. Security 4. Functionality 5. Style Are those the top features that Apple Marketing "sells" to its user base? For the moment, in this post, I assume you agree (although you're welcome to explain what you think draws people to Apple products). Let's just take one of those selling points, which is "functionality", and then let's state a well-known fact: 1. There is zero app functionality on iOS that isn't on Android 2. There is tons of app functionality on Android that isn't on iOS. That's a fact. That's not a hypothesis. That's a fact. For example, my Android devices load any app launcher I want so I can organize my phone any way I want, and I have automatic phone recorders, bit torrent apps, graphical recording of wifi signal strength for all access points, accurate reporting of unique cell tower IDs, ability to put app icons whereever I want them, etc. On the other hand, in years, nobody can find a *single* iOS app functionality that isn't already on Android. Not a single one. (Sure they make claims about imaginary functionality, but they forget I also have plenty of iOS devices where their claims always fall flat when tested.) Here's just one example of their claims of imaginary iOS functionality: Â*Android Fact: Â*http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/11/2wifianalyzer.jpg Â*Apple Fact: Â*http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/11/wifi_sweetspots.jpg So why do the iOS users incessantly claim imaginary Apple functionality? I don't know why. But I hypothesize that they bought into the Marketing claims, and they never once doublechecked any facts, so, when facts are brought up to them, they react with immediate hatred and denials of what is, after all, just a fact. What do you think about that hypothesis, bearing in mind that it's based only on the Usenet experience, and not the many Apple web forums (where, in some, I myself, have written tutorials, e.g., when I first jailbroke an iOS 4 way back when AT&T was the only official carrier). Hello Ragnusen You have far greater Usenet experience than I do - I'd never even heard of it until I became involved with the Microsoft groups back in 2006. Most of them are listed he- http://aumha.org/nntp.htm My son once recomended that I buy an iMac after spending some time in the Apple store in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2007/8. He loved the design and bought one in the USA - I explored in an Apple shop here in the UK and was similarly entranced. I've just recently bought a new 27 inch iMac to replace my original 24 inch machine and am truly enthralled with it's speed and fantastic picture quality. If you've not yet physically tried one, I suggest that you do so. :-) -- David B. |

Insofar as I understand it, agreed. then there's absolutely no issue, is there? Yes, there is. Just because something's legal doesn't make it right. actually, it does. If you really believe that, you obviously don't know the difference between legality and morality. Morality doesn't enter into it. Nothing about money or finance is "moral", the idea is nonsense.

How is it that Apple managed to collect a $215B tax evasion stash offshore in the space of 7 years? *Billion!* That's about $30B/year. And that's only the money they're hiding to cheat on taxes. apple has not evaded paying *any* taxes. apple pays every tax dollar they owe. I think s/he meant tax *avoidance*. And Apple most certainly does avoid tax. Tax avoidance is a meaningless phrase. EVERYONE avoids taxes. That's why you file a return, to minimize your tax burden. I would argue, quite successfully, that Apple pays nothing like every tax dollar they should. That is a lie, they pay ever dollar they are required to, just like everyone else. It's not a lie. It's an opinion that's based on evidence. And is coincidentally shared by a lot of people. Not you, obvs ;-) -- Cheers, Rob |

I've certainly never met anyone with a religious devotion to Apple. That is something that people with a large stick up their asses like to say to justify their irrational hatred for Apple. I read everything in this ng, but normally don't comment when it goes off the technical topic, especially as i feel Apple is doing nothing wrong by making utterly insane profits, and in then trying to not pay taxes on them by legal means. But this comment, by Lewis, one of the charter members of the Apple Apologists, of all people, has just said he's never met anyone with "a religious devotion to Apple". Hehhehhehheh... that's a good one. I do thank you for that insight. Thanks. I love how "innocent" your humor is. |

I asked a simple technical question in this thread. Did it get answered? Did mine above by you? My question was on topic. Hence, any on-topic technical question of the newsgroups infested with babies will _never_ get answered correctly. It's only on the adult newsgroups that technical topics are answered correctly and with sufficient detail to reproduce accurately. To wit: *These are empirical facts.* Q: Can Mac Adobe Illustrator read in a Microsoft PowerPoint with fonts? A: No. Q: Why not? A: Lots of reasons why not. Q: What are the technical details? A: Mac MS Office can't read the embedded fonts in the Windows Office docs. A: Adobe Illustrator can't read standard MS Office PowerPoint file format. A: Adobe Illustrator can't read embedded fonts (in the Office-generated PDF). Q: What's 1 solution to work around that lack of Mac & AI functionality? A1: "Just give up" (as usual for Apple users) & load the font into the Mac. A2: Don't just give up & do all final work on the Windows system with the font. A2: Then control+v, control+a, control+shift+o to convert fonts to shapes. Then just hand the printer the Windows AI file with fonts converted to shapes. Note to dorayme: The Apple users will likely *scream* bloody murder that these aren't facts, and yet, these are the inconvenient facts that are so far beyond their technical competency, that's all they can do is scream that facts aren't facts. In general, the Apple posters on this newsgroup prove time & again: 1. They are technically incompetent, so they can't possibly be helpful. 2. Even if they were technically competent, they have no helpful intent. 3. Hence, they just guess (where they're wrong as much as the monkey is). All the Apple Apologists can do well is endless off-topic rants. Just watch (since you're one of them). |

I asked a simple technical question in this thread. Did it get answered? it did. As always, nospam, you prove in every post: 1. You have no intention to ever be helpful, and, 2. Besides, you don't have the technical expertise to be helpful, and, 3. Hence, you just guess, which makes your posts even less accurate than the monkey's posts. The question was answered in the adult newsgroup long ago. Q: Can Mac Adobe Illustrator read in a Microsoft PowerPoint with fonts? A: No. There's a longer answer, of how to work around this flaw, replete with the factual details, but factual details would be completely lost on you since you prove in every post you have zero technical capacity for factual detail. |
