I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall throughout the various discussions as this idea made its way across the Apple org. That this was the dominant topic during the keynote of their annual developer event doesn't seem

You complain about oversimplification, then in the same breath complain about "random political stuff" being included. How is that not hypocritical, at best? This medical breakthrough would literally have not been possible without

One person's "disparagement" is another's valid criticism. You can see this come up constantly in lawsuits. All I'm saying is it's a random site on the internet for a person who is a "Certified Bonafide Ex
